thread_title:  Availability 

message: I was thinking to add something about the Cadbury creme egg in the US.  As the candy market is dominated by Mars Corp and Nestle, you don't normal see Cadbury products in stores.  The creme egg is the only common Cadbury product seen in American stores.  I'm not sure how to put this in a substantiated way, or whether this better belongs here or in an article about Cadbury (or maybe even 'Candy market in the US', but I doubt such a thing exists).

replies: text: That's not necessarily true.  I've seen half a dozen Cadbury products on the shelves of many drug stores and supermarkets in many US cities.  While you don't get the same variety as in the UK (or even Canada) it'd be wrong to say the creme egg is the only Cadbury product on store shelves. 71.217.119.130 06:16, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Are they definately only produced at Bournville?  The ones on sale in NZ have "Made in New Zealand" on the packaging, with the Dunedin (NZ) and Tasmania (AU) Cadbury addresses and the NZ and AU toll-free consumer numbers.

They are definately not solely produced in the UK (in fact also produced in North America and Oceania).

message: I'm confused.  The popular How Do you eat yours? campaign surely featured Matt Lucas not Luke Kenny.  I don't think Luke Kenny was in Shooting Stars so it's probably a mistake.  I think Matt only played the character Sir Bernard Chumley in the ads, who later appeared in Little Britain, can anyone else remember?  Also I seem to remember the wrappers had some green in them back in the mid-eighties and I was sorry that it disappeared later.  Unless my parents had got some someone had brought into the country. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 90.241.151.198 (talk) 23:58, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

So yes, you can trust my word that there WERE two distinct and different types of eggs and I remember always wondering where the "other one" went, because I preferred it to the one of this article. As for a cite, I haven't found a real web page yet but this Facebook page has lots of people confirming the previous existence of a "Caramilk Creme Egg" by Cadbury: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&gid=92732436687 .

message: Why no mention of the Cadburys creme egg hunt promotion? I can't remember the exact details, but there were golden/jewelled eggs buried around the uk and a book of poems/stories which held the clues to find them. Sometime in late 80s(?)—Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.44.25.206 (talk • contribs) 15:34, 27 August 2008
This was a book "Conundrum" - The Cadbury's Creme Egg Mystery written by Don Shaw and Illustrated by Nick Price . They commissioned Garrards, the then Crown Jewellers, to create 12 gold eggs worth around GBP 10,000. Certificates were buried in wooden boxes around the UK. I have the book, and have found info at http://www.treasureclub.net/publichunts/conundrum/index.html and http://www.marketingcupboardmentor.co.uk/wp/?wpp=Cadbury%92s%20'Creme%20Egg%20Mystery'&WPID=2717 can buy on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Conundrum-Cadburys-Creme-Egg-Mystery/dp/B0007C9S2W. Apparently it generated crazy amounts of publicity so should be mentioned on these pages.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.184.27.194 (talk) 18:48, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

There's no date on the claim, and the "green yolk" even sounds like a piss take.

replies: text: The original edit 2007/04/06 adding 'mint' to the list of related products was me, I made it up. So was the comment above 2009/03/10 as a roundabout attempted confession. I assumed that someone would have removed the joke back then. Seems not. I just randomly happened to be reminded of this today and came on the site to check when that was. To be clear - Cadbury mint creme eggs never existed; it was a joke, to see how quickly pointless vandalism would be reverted. That was childish and I apologise. Might have been a bet involved, but have long since lost contact so a moot point that I've clearly won by it staying up this long lol --137.220.110.81 (talk) 21:32, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

message: Came across this 1970 advertisement http://s1001.photobucket.com/albums/af138/BarryWom/?action=view¤t=Border_Eggs_1970.jpg. So despite Cadburys claim on their website that Creme Eggs were introduced in 1971, it would appear that they were being sold as Frys Creme Eggs before 1970 (as the Border Creme Eggs in the ad are being advertised as "new"). I've updated the header to reflect this and emailed Cadbury in an attempt to get some clarification. Barry Wom (talk) 09:23, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reformulation? 

message: I definitely recall cream eggs (note the spelling) in the early 60's made by Cadbury. They were just the same as modern creme eggs except that the foil were in three distinct base colours of blue, red or green. My mother always bought a blue and red one for my two older brothers and a green one for myself so there was no arguing who's had been eaten and who's was left! The price of these eggs was 6d. and they were available at least as far back as 1963 if not earlier. At the same time a distinctive Fry's creme egg (again note the spelling) was available.  These were slightly smaller, with dark chocolate, made in two halves, and the chocolate and the creme was exactly the same as in bars of Fry's Chocolate Cream although there was a patch of yellow creme for the yolk. They were generally believed to be inferior to the Cadbury product despite also selling for 6d. Maybe this is why the Cadbury egg survived and the Fry's egg disappeared. Added to this, also throughout the 60's Rowntree manufactured a very similar egg to the Cadbury egg. Again, slightly smaller than the Cadbury egg, the Rowntree version had cream that was slightly stiffer consistency than that of Cadbury but the chocolate was particularly nice.

thread_title:  White Crème egg 

message: hi
The "Food energy" information in the right hand panel is not correct I think. We're saying it is 303kcal per 40g serving, but I've looked around on MyFitnessPal and Calorie King and they say between 150 and 180-kcal.
Unhelpfully the Cadbury's UK website is showing a blank box for this at the moment
In any event, what we have here cannot be right because 303 kcal is not the correct product of the nutritional value which is shown below it. In that info we say that there is 0 protein, 6g fat and 29g of carbs.If that was correct then calories would be (29x4)+(6.1x9)+(0x4) as there are 4 calories per gram of protein and carbs and 9 calories per gram in fat. That would equal 170kcal not 303kcal.
I suspect the product size between USA and UK is slightly different making the numbers different depending on where you are - it is a 1.2 ox serving in USA and a 40g serving in the UK.
Cadbury's Australia shows 172 calories - which would be within 2 of what we would get if we stuck to the macros stated and just did the maths correctly. So my suggestion is to do that and change the 303 kcalories to 170kcal.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Glennelliott1972 (talk • contribs) 14:15, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
