    Funny thing is they havent actually decreased the pack sizes, they've actually increased them. creme eggs have always been avlaible in packs of 3 and 6. Now its 5 and 10 ;)


    They were available in 3,6 and 12 - they are now available in 3, 5 and 12.

    The 5 packs are the same price as the 6 eggs were!

    It's called downsizing. Instead of upping the price they reduce the size of the product.

    OMG!

    Had a creme egg yesterday-disgusting!

    Eating it seemed similar but it leaves an awful aftertaste and I had to wash my mouth out.

    Never again!

    Hear hear! How dare they mess with our chocolate?! ARGH!!!!! :mad:

    5 creme eggs indeed!

    And what ARE they going to use, if not Dairy Milk chocolate?

    I'd just like to commend you for the proper usage of "hear hear". So many morons say "here here" and cannot fathom why you correct them. Well done.

    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.

    I tried one and noticed straightaway that it didn't taste the same and that was before I had read that the chocolate had been changed from Dairy Milk. I haven't had another one, not boycotting, just things I prefer more than a Creme Egg now.
