This is “Analog Agent Benjamin” coming at you this week with…. Cadbury Cream Eggs

Well its almost Easter time, and already the stores are stocking up on Easter Egg Paint, Marshmallow Peeps, and the most popular of all Easter Candy, The Cadbury Cream Eggs.


I remember seeing these ads on TV as kid and I always thought they were cute, and that I always wanted to try one of the Cadbury Cream Eggs. On the day before Easter, my Mom got me one to eat and I was so happy that I was going to finally get to try one, too bad it did not end well. The very second I bit into it, all I tasted was something that was like sugar flavored slime, it was so gross. And the worst part was that it got all over my hands and clothes. My Mom thought it was so funny. That was the very first and last day I ever tried to eat a Cadbury Cream Egg.

Thank goodness they only come around once a year. But I do feel sorry for any kid who has to go through the same thing I did when they try to eat a Cadbury “Slime” Egg.

Did anyone else try to eat a Cadbury Cream Egg as a kid? Did you like it, or did you think it was gross as well?

    They sell cream eggs year round here in Australia! Cadbury’s is really popular here.
    There’s a certain way you have to eat them, I had the same problem when I was kid but I actually liked the things! (I would try and stuff the whole egg in my mouth, natch)

      They did try selling them year round here in the U.S. back in the 80’s, but they did not sell very well. So they went back to just selling them at Easter time.

    I always felt they looked to much like REAL eggs, so given my hatred of avian embryos that come out of a chicken’s poop hole, I won’t ever eat one. I don’t think I could even watch one being eaten. Including if someone did a Cadbury Egg Challenge similiar to a hard boiled egg eating contest. Excuse me, I need to go puke…

    They’re waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too sweet and I’m a sugar junkie.

      Fun fact! One can of soda has as much sugar as 4 Cadbury Creme eggs! 4!

        Good thing my Mom never let me have any normal soda, I could only drink diet (sugar free) soda as a kid. 🙂

    I always loved these.

    Too bad they don’t use the current ad campaign they use in the UK where the eggs kill themselves in the name of GOO!

      Wow, that Mouse Trap ad was the best one. 🙂

        It certainly was!

        You come to realize we’re not getting the real stuff here, what with Hershey’s license to the product.

  5. Chris Sobieniak says:

    And as usual, someone always complains over the smaller eggs we Americans get versus our British counterparts…

    Really, it’s all Hershey’s fault!
