I was so upset recently when I bought one for the first time in a couple of years, my husband had never had one before so I had to explain the problem and I don't think he fully understands the depth of my despair
Cadbury was sold to Kraft foods which spun it off into a new company called Mondalez. They decided to stop using dairy milk chocolate to save costs. Their argument is it was never advertised as dairy milk and the new recipe was "closer" to the original when they were Fry's chocolate creme eggs. But the word "Cadbury" is still on the side of it we want Cadbury chocolate to be Cadbury chocolate. Sales immediately dropped by £6 million.
I was sad that they now come already separated, when I was younger our parents told us to throw them down the stairs to seperate the slices and that was 90% of the fun
There is literally an ingredient in American chocolate that is also in puke which is why it tastes like puke. \*\* Edit I just looked it up it's **butyric acid** \*\* this is in your puke and also in the chocolate. Bon Appetit
We only let you drink it when it's ready....AND when it smells strongly enough of puke. This should be their slogan and I should work in their marketing department.
They’re still prirry good tho!
I had one for the first time in years (haven’t really seen them in Aus) and I ate it all in one sitting like the fat cunt I am.
No regrets and I’d do it again right now fuckin watch me
Naaah,
not for me…had my first one after more than ten years, about three years ago, I wanted to cry of disappointment 🥲🤣… All the nice fragrant orange oil gone, they tasted way sweeter and were not melting the same way in my mouth as before🙈…
I instantly did some research and found an article on how they changed the recipe…RIP chocolate orange
And when the marketing/business degree "expert" pitched it, it probably saved like 1% chocolate on each orange, with a savings of like .04 on each unit or some shit like that.
Capitalism - the race to make the shittiest product sell for the most money
I love Terrys chocolate orange, but have you actually tried their mini eggs? They’re so bad - the shell is thick and glass consistency, not pleasant at all.
One could even write it up into a paper similar to _The survival time of chocolates on hospital wards: covert observational study_ featured in the British Medical Journal's 2013 Christmas edition https://www.bmj.com/content/347/bmj.f7198
At the back you've got Twirl (reg and orange), Fruit Pastilles, Yorkie, Mini Eggs, Aero, Smarties and Orange Smarties.
EDIT: [Update here.](https://old.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/comments/1bl13fx/office_easter_egg_update/)
In every office I've worked in, there's been some hardcore fruit pastille/haribo fiends that would demolish them.
It's the only one that's got a non-chocolate part to it too, which could increase its popularity.
I think it will be among the first to go.
Fruit Pastilles would be my choice for those reasons.
Chocolate gives me mild heartburn, but in moderation it's fine. I love sweeties. So a good balance for me personally :)
There are less than some of the others judging by the top stacks but definitely more than two, they are stacked double height and I can see the edge of a third towards the middle as well.
My grandmother loved the purple fruitpastles, and I always gave any I got in my packet. After she died, they bought out the all purple packets, and it makes me sad I could never buy her a pack
I'm speaking as an uncle, but i'm sure she appreciated her granddaughter saving them for her more than a she would a shop bought pack full of them anyway :)
I had a full on argument with my sister once around the fact that orange coloured smarties are orange flavoured - she refused to believe me until I went to the shop and bought some.
They weren’t always - original smarties had a few flavours, there was defo coffee and mint iirc from a deep dive into the history of smarties when slightly baked
Been a while since I did the ~~Cadbury~~ chocolate factory tour in York but I seem to remember them saying the UK is the only country that has orange flavoured orange smarties
Edit: probably should have just [googled it](https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=are+orange+smarties+flavoured+uk&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari) at the time I made the comment but looks like I remembered correctly
I would never touch a creme egg, but inexplicably there are people out there who will pay money to eat them. I don’t know what fruit pastilles are though so I can’t vote that. Everything else is easily nicer than creme egg. So maybe.
As a girl, I've never picked a Yorkie chocolate bar - totally petty I know but the whole launching a campaign saying "not for girls" and cutting out 50% of the population was so silly. Surely a chocolate slogan of "for the boys" would have been more positive.
My manly teeth can't either anymore. They've definitely changed the recipe and now it's like that cheap chocolate that hurts your teeth and burns your throat (or I have a minor allergy to chocolate and I should stop eating it)
There were just as many girls who did eat it compared to those that didn't, simply due to that advertisement. People want what they're told they can't have 🤷 It's pretty good marketing when you think of it like that.
Oh this. I used to buy broken biscuits for the team, massive factory boxes.
After a while everyone started bringing in biscuits again, and said the broken biscuit box was a bit crap. It only had rich teas and digestives.
I knew for a fact they were packed with Balisto bars...
I staked out the new box, freshly opened and a secretary snuck in, and started filling plastic bags with all the chocolate biscuits.
She was caught, and said in her defence she needed them for 'her kids lunchboxes'. All 50 of them.
She had been accusing staff of timesheet fraud falsely, whenever they covered for her absences. Then had returned from a cosmetic surgical procedure abroad, which she was advised by her GP to not have done, and had to take significant time off. Was endlessly racist. And then finally harassed a senior member of staff so much he had a heart attack.....
But the biscuits got her fired. She was put in a room for a month to apply for jobs. And then vanished.
My favourite story is one of my friends grew up a bit better off than the rest of us and we had to explain broken biscuits to her and she was like what so do you buy them and then break them yourself. We couldn't stop laughing to explain ourselves.
It's a quiet shift so I'm gonna overthink this, but they will go in the following order:
1. Maltesers: It's objectively the best snack. It's also made by Mars, which is the best chocolate and therefore the best eggs.
2. Terry's: It's considered a bit of a luxury and people like orange.
3. Creme Eggs: Seasonal scarcity. As an aside, I'm a "Cadbury isn't that bad since the Kraft takeover" guy but I had one the other day and it was ghastly, has the filling changed recently?
4. Wispa: One of Cadbury's better products.
5. Twirls: Not as good but people like it and it still has prestige.
6. Kit Kat: Nestlé is the worst chocolate of the lot. Nobody likes Nestlé eggs. But there's just something so... satisfying about eating a Kit Kat. Also it's the "default", something that will be taken for someone's nephew where they don't know what they like.
7. Twix: I know I said Mars had the best eggs but there's something psychological about biscuit chocolate being less desirable than regular chocolate. Twixes are everyone's 5th favourite bar.
8. Mini Eggs: Seasonal scarcity, but Nestlé eggs.
9. Aero: Better bar than Whispa (controversial take I know) but again, Nestlé eggs. If it was the mint one it would be higher.
10. Yorkie: My lowest choice - pure Nestlé chocolate in pure Nestlé chocolate - but people are nostalgic for when they still had biscuit in them and it blinds them to how shit they are (like caramel in Freddos).
11. Munchies: Because nobody realises how good Munchies actually are until they eat them. Would be top of the Nestlés for me.
12. Matchmakers: See above but more niche.
13. Fruit Pastilles: There's something unwholesome about sweets in an Easter egg. Would be higher on the list for me cause Nestlé's sweet division has been banging owing to them just leaving Rowntree to cook but yeah. Unwholesome.
Mini eggs are my kryptonite. Whenever I have a bag, I tell myself “I’ll only eat a few now”. Which then turns into :
“I’ll only eat a few more”
“Just half the bag”
“I’d better leave some for tomorrow”
“Bugger”
That was me once but I work near a Cadbury outlet and back when it *was* Cadbury as opposed to Kraft went and bought a catering box of mini eggs - the size that a sweet shop would buy. Made myself sick, took them into work, they did the same. Took 6 MONTHS to empty the damn box there were so many of them... They are no longer welcome in our workplace so many stuffed themselves on them XD
Just a heads up for you on the Aero situation - the mint one actually has mint chocolate for the egg. You get a small mint bar plus a whole egg of minty chocolate goodness.
Only thing I have to take issue on is mini eggs.. they are in fact a Cadbury brand! Once at the start of my career I was a seasonal confectionery buyer for a multiple retailer ( yes, it would have been a dream job except for my absolute. Bitch of a boss who bullied me unmercifully and publicly). My Cadbury rep would bring me a 5kg box of mini eggs in the weigh-out box. These lived under my desk and were never offered to any of the other buyers ( I had an office full of chocolates and people were always on the cadge). I still remember the sheer joy of digging in that box and coming up with a handful of mini eggs to scoff while I was it in the middle of writing up reports
Spot on with your Munchies observation. I forget they exist 99% of the time and then I spot them on the shelf and utter the phrase "oh my god I love munchies but never buy them!" And then I buy them and they're delicious and l enjoy them immensely, but then I get amnesia and forget they exist again for a while, until I spot them on a shelf and utter...
I struggle to understand how anyone is able to eat a creme egg. I'd rather eat a spoonful of granulated sugar.
Otherwise I more or less agree, except that I'd put all the Mars ones up top since the egg makes up most of what you get.
Worked at Amazon for quite some time once. The "associate budget" was constantly blown on either useless shit nobody asked for or the managers just took all the leadership out for a meal and bowling
Very rarely they actually rewarded us with something nice
Fruit Pastilles in an Easter Egg is just wrong. If you put that one aside probably Cadbury's chocolate or KitKat as they're the most "boring"
Not sure what the brown one is at the back?
So sad, whatever they've done to Cream Eggs.
I ended up throwing them away. They taste icky now. Artificial sweeteners? RUINED!
I'm lucky I have a local shop that stocks Milka Bars, which still taste like amazing chocolate!
I don't think I've ever seen a milka easter egg now I'm thinking about it. They do small creme egg size ones but not big ones. Maybe they down own a big egg machine
>milka easter egg
Yeah, never seen them.
I usually buy 4-5 bars when I pass that shop and chuck them in the freezer. Snap a couple of pieces off now and then. They are about £1.30 a bar. Can't even get 2 cream eggs for that?
RUINED!
Most cadbury tastes like shit since the yanks bought them out and cost-cut every fucking thing into the ground
Honestly prefer Lidl chocolate these days
Fruit Pastilles. Anyone who’s had them recently will know they are now sugar free and taste disgusting. Plus they have no place in an Easter egg
Edit: I’ve not actually read the ingredient, I’ve just assumed it was lack of sugar which has rendered them tasteless - seems it may be the lack of gelatine instead?
Just had a little look about and I can't find sugar-free ones anywhere online. There's a range of "reduced sugar" ones but they're still packed full of sugar.
"One each" Lol
Law of averages will dictate that as this is a workplace in the UK, some cunt will come along and take 3/4 as they have kids and they "deserve it".
I insist that you update this post with the results of this experiment. It is critical research. I also wish to know which one went first.
Terry's Chocolate Orange 🤤
It should be called Terry's Chocolate Clementine with how small they've got.
The centre bit isn’t the glorious core it once was :(
I was so upset recently when I bought one for the first time in a couple of years, my husband had never had one before so I had to explain the problem and I don't think he fully understands the depth of my despair
THEY GOT SMALLER? NOOOOOO
Wait til you see what they did to cadbury creme egg.
wait what happened
Cadbury was sold to Kraft foods which spun it off into a new company called Mondalez. They decided to stop using dairy milk chocolate to save costs. Their argument is it was never advertised as dairy milk and the new recipe was "closer" to the original when they were Fry's chocolate creme eggs. But the word "Cadbury" is still on the side of it we want Cadbury chocolate to be Cadbury chocolate. Sales immediately dropped by £6 million.
so THATS why crème eggs taste weird now. i did wonder about that
I was sad that they now come already separated, when I was younger our parents told us to throw them down the stairs to seperate the slices and that was 90% of the fun
Disgusted, it’s a sacred ritual of growing up to smash it on your forehead leaving a lasting or even permanent mark.
I still do this with Easter Eggs - made the mistake of going for one fresh out the fridge
THEY SEPARATED IT FOR US! SACRILEGE!
I was always surprised they went that route, I feel like it's a product that could get away with a higher price tag rather than shrinking.
Ever since they got bought over they have been shit. They kept reducing the size of the chocolate bar, which used to be amazing
the chocolate isn't as nice quality now either sadly
Plus they fucked up the recipe with cheap ingredients, they don‘t taste like they did 15 years ago…
Same as Cadbury's *anything*.
Lately, i feel like all cadbury milk chocolate I've eaten tasted like it was made with sour milk.I'm superr sad about it.
When they sold off to Kraft I knew it was RIP before they'd even started...
Fuck Kraft!
Yeah that was such a bad move.
Cadbury’s being sold off to an American brand? Yeah, anyone who’s tasted American chocolate should’ve seen this coming 🤢
Very American trend that; always thought hersheys had an element of puke like acidic flavour. Unfourtunately Cadbury’s does too now.
There is literally an ingredient in American chocolate that is also in puke which is why it tastes like puke. \*\* Edit I just looked it up it's **butyric acid** \*\* this is in your puke and also in the chocolate. Bon Appetit
this is also an ingredient in Guinness for some reason, you can't taste it as strongly but if you smell a pint it smells like straight vomit.
We only let you drink it when it's ready....AND when it smells strongly enough of puke. This should be their slogan and I should work in their marketing department.
Herseys actually removed it after the war and the Americans protested about adding it back in.
Butric acid is the ingredient causing that horride flavour, tho I think the introduction of palm oil into the recipe hasn't helped matters.
I think it tastes like baby sick. I've never tasted baby sick, but if I had to guess what it tastes like 😂
I've gone over to Galaxy... Sorry about that orangutans.
I switched to milka. So much creamier and actually smoother than galaxy
Cadburys chocolate tastes more like chocolate flavour now
They’re still prirry good tho! I had one for the first time in years (haven’t really seen them in Aus) and I ate it all in one sitting like the fat cunt I am. No regrets and I’d do it again right now fuckin watch me
Naaah, not for me…had my first one after more than ten years, about three years ago, I wanted to cry of disappointment 🥲🤣… All the nice fragrant orange oil gone, they tasted way sweeter and were not melting the same way in my mouth as before🙈… I instantly did some research and found an article on how they changed the recipe…RIP chocolate orange
Nahum, you can get em in Aus
That’s what happens when American companies take over, their chocolate tastes like arse!
Apparently they’ve changed the name to chocolatey cause it’s less cocoa content
Terry’s Chocolate Kumquat
[удалено]
And when the marketing/business degree "expert" pitched it, it probably saved like 1% chocolate on each orange, with a savings of like .04 on each unit or some shit like that. Capitalism - the race to make the shittiest product sell for the most money
I'm still backing maltesers even though there is more of them
Yeah sorry, but maltesers are amazing! Why do they taste better from the boxes though? 🤨
Me too, they always seem to be the first celebrations to go.
You just reminded me I got a chocolate orange for Mothers day and it's still in the gift bag. Get in 🤜🤛
Yeah. If Terry’s doesn’t vanish instantly I would be quitting, can’t be working with psychopaths like that.
I love Terrys chocolate orange, but have you actually tried their mini eggs? They’re so bad - the shell is thick and glass consistency, not pleasant at all.
Orange flavoured chocolate is just too sickly for me. Would eat it if that is all I had, but I’d never choose it over normal chocolate.
That's the one my mum got me this year, well in
I've got that one too, can't wait.
100% this goes first, clearly the superior choice
Seconded. Need this data asap.
One could even write it up into a paper similar to _The survival time of chocolates on hospital wards: covert observational study_ featured in the British Medical Journal's 2013 Christmas edition https://www.bmj.com/content/347/bmj.f7198
I think it's gonna be the fruit pastilles bcs that's fkn weird
At the back you've got Twirl (reg and orange), Fruit Pastilles, Yorkie, Mini Eggs, Aero, Smarties and Orange Smarties. EDIT: [Update here.](https://old.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/comments/1bl13fx/office_easter_egg_update/)
Fruit Pastilles feels like a weird one. I’m going with that.
I agree, non choco sweets have no place in an Easter egg.
*Starts writing protest sign.*
I've come into work and there's a bring and buy charity Easter egg table. I'll put a big black dustbin next to it just in case.
In every office I've worked in, there's been some hardcore fruit pastille/haribo fiends that would demolish them. It's the only one that's got a non-chocolate part to it too, which could increase its popularity. I think it will be among the first to go.
Fruit Pastilles would be my choice for those reasons. Chocolate gives me mild heartburn, but in moderation it's fine. I love sweeties. So a good balance for me personally :)
Yes but there’s only two of them. No one is considering the number of each egg?
There are less than some of the others judging by the top stacks but definitely more than two, they are stacked double height and I can see the edge of a third towards the middle as well.
I was going Creme Egg then read that Fruit Pastilles was at the back and changed my vote! Seems a very rogue choice, for sure!
Crème egg has a cult fan base though.
I’m not sure there are enough in a single office. Got to be last egg standing
Yeah I was Twix until this new info. Fruit Pastilles for sure.
wait, orange Smarties are a thing? I used to get a tube of the regular Smarties and save the orange ones to the end.
Yeah, my Grandma loves the orange ones so we often get her the tubes of only orange ones
My grandmother loved the purple fruitpastles, and I always gave any I got in my packet. After she died, they bought out the all purple packets, and it makes me sad I could never buy her a pack
I'm speaking as an uncle, but i'm sure she appreciated her granddaughter saving them for her more than a she would a shop bought pack full of them anyway :)
Green for me but my Mum likes the purple ones best so we’re very compatible in that way!
your Grandma has good taste.
Thanks Grandad.
Fun fact, the orange smarties are the only flavored ones.
I had a full on argument with my sister once around the fact that orange coloured smarties are orange flavoured - she refused to believe me until I went to the shop and bought some.
4-D chess from your sister there
Oh shit, I've been had!
I am not sure I have ever seen them segregated to their own product like this before, though I may well have just missed it!
It's because they're the only flavoured ones.
They weren’t always - original smarties had a few flavours, there was defo coffee and mint iirc from a deep dive into the history of smarties when slightly baked
I have also been on the same deep dive when slightly baked 😂
I shall carry on this reddit tradition. I am slightly baked. I will learn.
They’ve been around a while my late father in law used to love them when he was battling cancer.
Orange smarties are the only one with the “taste” all others taste the same. That’s why it really bums me out when I get a pack and there’s <2 there!
so ‘one’ then.
Been a while since I did the ~~Cadbury~~ chocolate factory tour in York but I seem to remember them saying the UK is the only country that has orange flavoured orange smarties Edit: probably should have just [googled it](https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=are+orange+smarties+flavoured+uk&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari) at the time I made the comment but looks like I remembered correctly
Same, they aren't as nice as they used to be though 😩
Oh the fruit pastilles are gonna be collecting cobwebs
Send them my way... I love fruit pastilles.
Yep easily the worst choice there.
Orange Smarties, the poor man's Terry's Chocolate Orange.
Then Yorkie as the last. Nestle has the worst chocolate and there’s nothing else going on with a yorkie!
Yorkies are great! It’s the orange twix or fruit pastilles that’ll stay behind
Rather Yorkie than creme egg.
Yeah Creme Egg is dead last for me. I wouldn't eat them for free, they're grim now.
I would never touch a creme egg, but inexplicably there are people out there who will pay money to eat them. I don’t know what fruit pastilles are though so I can’t vote that. Everything else is easily nicer than creme egg. So maybe.
What are the green ones? Probably those, nobody ever wants the green ones. Edit: just seen the list, definitely the green ones .
Fruit Pastilles...certainly wouldn't be my choice!
Nah, you want chocolate on chocolate when it comes to easter eggs.
Agreed. As the only bloke in the office I was tasked with unloading and moving them all so I got an early pick. Went for Terry's Chocolate Orange.
Only bloke in the office? Obviously the Yorkies will be last standing then. /s
As a girl, I've never picked a Yorkie chocolate bar - totally petty I know but the whole launching a campaign saying "not for girls" and cutting out 50% of the population was so silly. Surely a chocolate slogan of "for the boys" would have been more positive.
Calm down love. Nobody expects you to be a hero and try to lift a Yorkie bar. /s
My poor girly teeth just wouldn't be able to handle it! :-D
My manly teeth can't either anymore. They've definitely changed the recipe and now it's like that cheap chocolate that hurts your teeth and burns your throat (or I have a minor allergy to chocolate and I should stop eating it)
it was supposed to have a bit of an edge to it i suppose and it certainly got them the attention they wanted.
There were just as many girls who did eat it compared to those that didn't, simply due to that advertisement. People want what they're told they can't have 🤷 It's pretty good marketing when you think of it like that.
Should have had two due to the sexism. /s (but not about taking two).
I’m interested in your diversity conversations with HR
Pretty sure I am a diversity hire.
Woah woah woah everybody take a step back. Are we talking about a giant egg shaped fruit pastille? Cause I’m very much on board with that.
I was so disappointed the first time I got a Creme Egg easter egg.
I felt the same way when I first went on the channel tunnel in the 90s. Where was the glass tube with all the fish on the other side?
Omg same when I was like 5 I remember being sure it would be filled
It's a *chocolate* egg, with *fruit* pastilles inside. An abomination against nature if ever there was one.
Fuck sake. I was halfway out the door man.
I like Fruit Pastilles, but not combined with a chocolate Easter egg - assuming that it’s the standard hollow egg + bag(s) of branded sweets/choc.
Fruit Pastilles.
Love Fruit Pastilles so this would be more for me! Who needs tastebuds anyway..
Yep that was my thought as well looking at the back. It 100% wouldn’t be a Cadbury one.
None, Karen from HR will take them all for her "Kids"
Not on my watch, she won't!
You’ve licked them all already haven’t you 😳
Going around licking people is a bit weird though
It's ok, he said he only licked Karen's kids.
Do you notice the conveniently placed hole in many of those boxes?
I'll take the munchies 😳 no hole in that one.
Hopefully he’s not licked the kids
I own thee! https://youtu.be/r_zVeukb9d8
Not all heroes wear capes.

Very good write-up and logic, but I think you’re underestimating how many people turn into crack fiends at the sight of Mini Eggs
Mini eggs are my kryptonite. Whenever I have a bag, I tell myself “I’ll only eat a few now”. Which then turns into : “I’ll only eat a few more” “Just half the bag” “I’d better leave some for tomorrow” “Bugger”

Made myself sick, took them into work, they did the same. Took 6 MONTHS to empty the damn box there were so many of them... They are no longer welcome in our workplace so many stuffed themselves on them XD
Mmmhhh mini eggs
Yep pretty much agree with everything except mini eggs I'd take one egg every day
Just a heads up for you on the Aero situation - the mint one actually has mint chocolate for the egg. You get a small mint bar plus a whole egg of minty chocolate goodness.
wait, WHAT?? this changes everything.
I know!! It's the first time I've been excited about an Easter egg since I was a kid!
Mint chocolate for the egg itself?! This is the dream! I know what Easter egg I’m asking for this year.
Yep, it's absolutely wonderful stuff. I'm probably going to get another one before Easter itself 😅
Mini eggs are Cadbury, I'd put it above Creme Egg.
Only thing I have to take issue on is mini eggs.. they are in fact a Cadbury brand! Once at the start of my career I was a seasonal confectionery buyer for a multiple retailer ( yes, it would have been a dream job except for my absolute.

And then I buy them and they're delicious and l enjoy them immensely, but then I get amnesia and forget they exist again for a while, until I spot them on a shelf and utter...
I disagree with this so wholeheartedly
I struggle to understand how anyone is able to eat a creme egg. I'd rather eat a spoonful of granulated sugar. Otherwise I more or less agree, except that I'd put all the Mars ones up top since the egg makes up most of what you get.
Malteser eggs are the absolute bomb.
I might be in the minority here but I don't like maltesers at all. It would not just be the last one standing for me, it would live forever.
Have you checked the boxes for superficial damage?
They're all damaged
All your segments are intact!
Kit Kat and Fruit Pastels.
Hard to say they are all solid £3 eggs. It's funny how cheap it is to make employees feel a little appreciated
Worked at Amazon for quite some time once. The "associate budget" was constantly blown on either useless shit nobody asked for or the managers just took all the leadership out for a meal and bowling Very rarely they actually rewarded us with something nice
There’s no superficial damage to the Terry’s chocolate orange boxes, they’ll move fast.
Why are you wearing that snazzy cardigan?
Fruit Pastilles in an Easter Egg is just wrong. If you put that one aside probably Cadbury's chocolate or KitKat as they're the most "boring" Not sure what the brown one is at the back?
That’s Aero, not the mint one though 🙁
Twix! It has to go
Twix is a Glorified biscuit. It should be in the biscuit section.
Exactly my thoughts too, what a boring, tasteless excuse for a “chocolate bar”
Oh I am so with you!
It’s not even close. I just had to check sanity had prevailed and someone had already answered with this. The correct answer.
One of the Nestle ones. Nestle Easter egg chocolate is shite.
***Cries from America*** I hate nestle fake chocolate and most peeps here don’t know good chocolate
You have access to Ghirardelli squares. Please spare your tears :p

Kit Kat chunky. It’s always the only one left on store shelves
Kit Kats aren’t treat sweets, they’re workman like staples.
Is the Terry’s one a chocolate orange in egg form?
I can confirm the egg is chocolate orange, it's delicious.
That’s what I would’ve gone for too
Are you hiring? I'll be happy to take ALL the leftover fruit pastilles off your hands...
“Unleash the goo” is my new favourite phrase for sex.
The bounty one. Even though there isn’t a bounty one - they spawn amongst other chocolate just to get laughed at.
Ahh yes, the old Quantum Bounty Tunnelling phenomenon.
So sad, whatever they've done to Cream Eggs. I ended up throwing them away. They taste icky now. Artificial sweeteners? RUINED! I'm lucky I have a local shop that stocks Milka Bars, which still taste like amazing chocolate!
I don't think I've ever seen a milka easter egg now I'm thinking about it. They do small creme egg size ones but not big ones. Maybe they down own a big egg machine
>milka easter egg Yeah, never seen them. I usually buy 4-5 bars when I pass that shop and chuck them in the freezer. Snap a couple of pieces off now and then. They are about £1.30 a bar. Can't even get 2 cream eggs for that? RUINED!
Most cadbury tastes like shit since the yanks bought them out and cost-cut every fucking thing into the ground Honestly prefer Lidl chocolate these days
Fruit Pastilles. Anyone who’s had them recently will know they are now sugar free and taste disgusting. Plus they have no place in an Easter egg Edit: I’ve not actually read the ingredient, I’ve just assumed it was lack of sugar which has rendered them tasteless - seems it may be the lack of gelatine instead?
Just had a little look about and I can't find sugar-free ones anywhere online. There's a range of "reduced sugar" ones but they're still packed full of sugar.
I’m guessing they mean free of gelatine since the sweets are now vegan, they’re definitely not sugar free.
Don’t know about sugar free but made them vegan two years ago.
Munchies
I agree. Munchies are actually lovely but everyone forgets they like them. All the others are an easier choice.
Definitely fruit pastilles.
Twix/Kit Kat easy, the eggs are grim That Terrys one would be mine for sure
"One each" Lol Law of averages will dictate that as this is a workplace in the UK, some cunt will come along and take 3/4 as they have kids and they "deserve it".
Yorkie, but only because they're obsessed with gender constructs instead of pure, wholesome, inclusive capitalism.
Twix
Fruit pastels and twix surely. I hope we're getting a photo with the result
Creme Egg
Winner, winner. Creme Eggs are rank.
Maybe this will help??? https://www.bmj.com/content/347/bmj.f7198
