Creme Eggs

A question about : Creme Eggs

Why do Americans like to mess up things? I knew something like this would happen when Kraft bought Cadburys...

Firstly they are selling creme eggs in packs of 5, instead of 6. I'm not completely outraged by this

But also they're stopping using Dairy Milk chocolate for the chocolate in Creme Eggs!

You may think it's silly me ranting about this before I've tried one and I am going to go try one to see what it's like, but I have a feeling I most likely wont like it or prefer the taste of last year's Creme Eggs

If it's disgusting I will be boycotting them this year and if you all feel the same feel free to do the same. If sales are low and we bombard them with on social media they may change the receipe back next year. Let the revolution begin!

Best answers:

• Hear hear! How dare they mess with our chocolate?! ARGH!!!!!
  5 creme eggs indeed!
  And what ARE they going to use, if not Dairy Milk chocolate?
• All I can say is they better taste the same/better or there is going to be a revolt!
  Probably more of the 'Health by stealth' business (happened to kitkats a while back from what I hear, they twiddled with the filling to lower the fat content) or just plain penny pinching. ¬¬
• 5 Creme Eggs in a pack? Do the Americans not understand that we buy our eggs by the box of 6? You might as well change the shape of them to a ball, and forget the link to them being a kind of 'egg'.
  As for the change in chocolate, don't get me started. It's a slippery slope to all their chocolate being substandard (ie not Dairy Milk standard).
• It's OK, I came across this!

  just hope they dont use Bourneville Dark Chocolate
• First world problems eh.
  Cost of raw materials goes up = companies have to either reduce pack/increase price/change ingredients.
  Nothing creates more rage than price increases so they have gone for the next two options. I bet if the media hadn't picked up on it most people wouldn't even notice it was a 5 pack not 6 and had changed ingredients.

• Perhaps they are simply using the chocolate recipe they sell in the U.S. where Cadbury bars taste totally different. I have a son who lives in America and I have to send him proper Cadbury chocolate. Something to do with cocoa solids he says. I tasted an awful crиme egg last year and saw it was made by Hersheys or at least in their factories.
• I'd rather have a galaxy caramel egg any day (and twice on Sundays)
• It's all just one big marketing ploy and it seems to be working a treat!
• I stopped buying Cadburys products when Kraft took them over and moved production out of the UK.
  My money my choice.
