Hmmm....

On a recent trip to Walgreens Andrew and I spied a basket of one of the greatest Easter treats ever (see above). We purchased a couple and later that evening when we dug in I was quite upset to notice that the egg seemed considerably smaller, and made up of less yolk and more shell. An internet search awhile later directed me to the Cadbury website where I posted a comment. Here is my reply:

Thank you for your recent enquiry.

We are pleased to report that the size of the Cadbury Creme Egg has not in fact changed for the past 10 years, and we have no plans at present to alter the size in any way.

We are always very conscious of the need to maintain quality and offer good value for money, particularly in a very competitive market place. We believe that even with the cost of raw materials constantly increasing i.e. cocoa, milk and sugar that the Cadbury's Creme Egg is marketed at a very competitive price.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us and express your concern in this matter and we hope we have answered your question to your satisfaction.

Maybe my hands have gotten larger?
