Supermarket staff and shoppers have been accused of unwrapping Cadbury's Creme Eggs and putting them back on the shelf in an attempt to win £2,000.

Well, that was a well thought out idea wasn't it? :rotfl:
BTW, have they shrunk again? When we were kids, they were like duck eggs, they seem to have gotten smaller again this year.
It's a bit like the sauce one a few years ago that had a dragon printed under the lid - a great idea, until people realised that folk were opening them up, looking and replacing them :eek:
It ended up being changed to a code you typed in and seeing if you won instantly.
These comps never work how they should. Back to the drawing board.......
Be Lucky.

If they want to increase sales all they need to do is revert to the original recipe. They have only produced 350 of the special white egg and I've seen a comp to win one with a hundred prizes. Surely this is a n attempt to boost sales not to give out brilliant prizes. I guess 70k is a lot less than they have lost in sales

What I wouldn't give for a "proper" Cadbury's Creme Egg... Though at the rate I used to get through them it's probably for the best that I find them inedible now!

I just cannot understand though how sales stay brisk when the chocolate has a definite aftertaste of bile now, same as Hershey's (and apparently because the company that owns both literally uses a compound that's found in vomit, fun fact!)

If they just sold them normally I'd buy one

I was in center parcs this week and clearly an array had been unwrapped , on one the foil hadn't even been wrapped back up so handed it to a memeber of staff. Actually put off buying them all together as I'm unsure if the eggs have been touched by others or not !

Same in one of the Tesco branches in Hull, I was tempted to buy one until I noticed several empty wrappers.

It's really sad that a nice promotion has turned into people just opening them..

Yes but very badly thought out.

Anyone could have told them this would happen.
