    I seem to recall there used to a site measuring the march of time by the reducing size of mars bars

    Anyone got one to hand, get it weighed and post the weight on here , that way we will have something to compare with next year when the same discussion will arise rather than relying on perceptions.

    Is anymore proof needed than that vid? (not allowed to quote the link cos im too new) And they are old eggs too cos they still have the chick on the foil.
    Why does cling film always stick to itself but never what you want it too???

    They have definitely shrunk.
    I often tell my kids about the "proper" Easter eggs we used to get when I was a child.
    Made in 2 pieces with a lovely thick rim and the contents were inside. No smashing it, it just came apart and those lovely thick edges were amazing.

    they say cadburys creme eggs havnt got smaller,it ,just our imagiation of the size of them from when we were young,

    If this is the case they need to introduce novelty adult versions. And how gullable are we for believing this?

    Smaller = less calories but they could at least be honest.

    Ha, maybe you are all getting bigger......

    LOL
  • Happy Easter one and all! Hope you enjoying your tiny cadburys Creme eggs! Maybe Caburys should market them as small, medium, large, and free range!

    Lol. Love it!

    Also another thing do they seem less gooey to you? I remember it use to be a lot more runny than they are now. I had a creme egg and it seemed more crystalised 'goo' than runny. Maybe I just got an old one, but I didn't enjoy it as much. I have turned to mini eggs now, I prefer them over creme eggs.
