Cadbury Creme Egg - The chocolate so good, it doesn't need an 'a'.

Today is Easter, or at least the pre-Easter hype day, where we run down the team listings and vital statistics for the main event.



And for better or for worse, the drawcard of Easter for a large chunk of people isn't celebrating the ressurection of Jesus, it's chocolate. So today's blog is for you folks. The kind who bite into a nice, juicy steak on Easter Friday, and watch the Sunday footy while gorging themselves on Cadbury.

And what personifies Easter, if not The Cadbury Creme Egg. It starts hitting stores around January, and doesn't leave till about May. It is the pinnacle of all things Easter. You know the guy next to Jesus on the crosses? His last name was Cremegg. True story.

The Creme Egg is not just the finest Easter chocolate, but one of the greatest chocolates ever. Thick layers of Cadbury, filled with what the wrapping describes as 'fondant', but which we all know is just liquid sugar. And they replicate an egg itself, with a white and a yolk. Though, I hear they just put the yolk in to keep it from looking like sugar semen.

See?

But, even though they're the best Easter chocolate ever, there's something iffy over at Cadbury town. I'll let Wikipedia and star of The Office, B.J Novak, take it away.



On the left (our left, not B.J's), is a Cadbury Creme Egg from 2005. On the right is a Creme Egg from 2007. Notice the difference?

Yes, those Jews over at Cadbury have ruined Easter again.

The size of Cadbury Creme Eggs have dropped 12.3% from their size in 2006. This must not stand. There is no greater issue facing our nation at the moment than the size of Creme Eggs, and I propose a war with Britain until the Cadbury fat cats give us Creme Egg reperations. We must be strong.

I am absolutely not eating a Creme Egg as I type this. That's crazy talk. Fuck you.
