If You Don’t Like Cadbury Creme Eggs, You Are Wrong & I Hate You
There’s nothing that divides a group of mates around Easter time more than the question: do you like Cadbury Creme Eggs?
I am not talking about mini eggs or the chocolate block version (blasphemy!), I am referring to the real deal, the holy grail of Easter treats, the original and greatest.
Holding a Cadbury Creme Egg in my hand is what I imagine holding a newborn child is like. It’s small yet solid. It needs protection. It’s heavy enough for you to know that it holds great value. It’s covered in chocolate and tastes delicious. (I don’t know how babies work?!)
While I have been a loyal Creme Eggian from the beginning, there is an increasing number of people voicing their opposition to pure happiness the delicious easter treat.
I’m here to say you are WRONG about Cadbury Creme Eggs and here are a few reasons why!
The Taste
Yum, fucking yum. You’ve got thick Cadbury choccy hugging a oval sphere of gooey goodness. Is it caramel? Why is it white? Does it contain actual egg yolk? I don’t what it is but it tastes like liquid sunshine.
The Size
It is the PERFECT SIZED treat. Around Easter time, you either get those small-as-shit eggs that barely appease any choccy fans’ appetite or massive eggs that are too rich to eat in one sitting. Enter Cadbury Creme Eggs, the perfect size and just the right amount of sweet so you’re left feeling content and satisfied.
They’re not too big, not too small. You know what I’m talking about, ladies.
The Imitations
You know you’re onto a good thing when all kinds of imitations starting popping up. Long before the Oreo eggs or the Ferrero Rocher eggs came along, it was the Cadbury Creme Egg filling medium-sized eggs with sugary substances.
Do I even have to mention the Wizz Fizz Creme Egg? Nothing compares.
The Nostalgia
When I think of Easter, I immediately recall the Cadbury Creme Egg ads that had school kids scoffing down eggs found inside their desks. I actually thought that when I started school and had my own desk I’d find a Cadbury Creme Egg waiting for me. My eggless reality was a rude awakening but I still love the nostalgia eating these treats brings back.
Facts are facts.
If you don’t believe me, here are some personal testimonies from the Junkee team:
“Cadbury Creme Eggs are what I aspire to be — a rich and decadent shell on the outside which hides a molten flowing core which is even more extra — and which is probably too much for normal people.”
– Patrick
“You have to be careful with Creme Eggs, the deliciousness is dangerous. IMHO you need to eat them slowly, savour them, and eat the chocolate shell and gooey inside separately. This is the best way to enjoy a Creme Egg, and the payoff is delectable.”
– Mitch
“Creme Eggs are, in many ways, the perfect chocolate for my specific needs: something I can’t physically scoff down. Naysayers say they’re too intense, but that’s precisely why I love them: the goo is overwhelmingly tart, meaning you have to take your time with it lest you start to feel sick.
One (or two) eggs are more than enough: and what’s wrong with a dessert that delivers with quality, rather than quantity? They also are possibly the most artificial-tasting sweet out, and there’s something deeply decadent in that. We stan!”
– Jared
“Cadbury Creme Eggs are the greatest man-made invention on this great earth.”
– Jesus Christ (Junkee intern)
