I don't know if it's an age thing or them changing the formula/cutting costs once again, but now they really do taste awful, not just "not as good as before"

Didn't like the taste of them in the 80s.
So wouldn't taste them now anyway

Always count on some idiot changing the formula and ruining everything. Change for the sake of change is a terrible school of thought.

What about change for the sake of price gouging customers while reducing costs

Cadbury's chocolate in general just isn't as nice as it used to be (with the exception of Dark Milk, which is fairly new, and crazy good), but Creme Eggs in particular have taken a bit of a dive - far too sweet now.

Are you just saying that because the packaging is really cool? I tried a piece of the salted caramel variety and it was surprisingly better than I expected

The packaging is cool, but I genuinely think Dark Milk is banging. Much nicer than Dairy Milk and Bourneville over the last few years.

2008 man! During our Great Recession companies across the globe started looking for cost cutting measures in our food products. Why use real sugar when this XYZ sugar substitute is 60% cheaper? Take out 10% of the chocolate nobody will notice!

Everything got smaller while ingredients were removed and replaced.

And the price didn't decrease, or even stay the same oh no no no. It increased

The creme eggs have always been absurdly sweet and disgusting. Pretty sure they're one of those kids-only treats.

I feel the same way about Twinkies. I remember them tasting moist and delicious as a child.

Now it's like eating a sponge.

I only had them as a kid and i liked them, but not enough to wanna try them again now.

Anyone else think kraft mac n cheese changed? I still like it but i swear it used to be better. Also the boxes used to have microwave instructions right? I know they did and i think they got rid of them when they made those shitty little easy mac things, but my stepdad says they never did.

Yes, Kraft Mac and cheese DID change. They eliminated an ingredient used for the artificial color. I think it was banned in Europe, and the ingredients changed there first. Eventually Kraft got rid of that ingredient in the US too, maybe about 8-10 years ago? I lose track of time.

Cadbury, Nestl and Hershey all source their cocoa from slave child labor. The cocoa has to literally be washed of the blood and sweat of children during processing.

I had one last year and felt like this was the case. Wasn't sure if it was me or my taste because you know. Not as young anymore.

I don't know if anyone remembers but they used to have it in a bar form back in the 2000s

https://chocablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/cremeeggbar1.jpg

Hell that was actually my first introduction to the creme egg variety, I bit into a bar that I thought was caramel since that's the usual filling for chocolate, but it tasted insanely better than any caramel filled chocolate bar I've ever had. From then on I was hooked
