Have you had a cream egg yet? I must admit I forgot all about them, but i saw an offer on them 2 for £2 on packs of 3 (nobody mention anything about 23) So yes, I really love seasonal things, I recon people would enjoy fruit more if it was still season, but importing ruins everything seasonal, oh well. But seasonal things are good because you appreciate them more when you don’t have them all year round, but Cadburys do sell the cream egg bar all year round so cream eggs are not appreciated as much as they used to be, but whatever.
How do you eat yours? (Darned advertising getting in my head) I like to eat half, then take a deep lick of the fondant inside then eat the rest whole, but also (as Peter drew my attention to) eating the whole thing whole is also a good way to eat it, but it makes short work of something that costs around 40p. There has been a lot of speculation over whether or not they have shrunk over the years, I seem to remember them being bigger in my youth but as Cadbury have said before “they haven’t gotten smaller, you have just got bigger” or something along those lines.
On one of the American talk shows a celebrity came on telling the story of how he keeps Halloween sweets in the freezer for next year, he then revealed that he had a cream egg from years ago and one of the recent ones. The recent egg looked about a third smaller than the old one so the shrinkage is undisputable, but reading up on this topic I think I read that the change had only happened in America and that the full size is still sold in the UK, I have found no article totally proving the shrinkage of the cream egg with weights and what Cadbury officially say, but I do remember them being bigger, but again I remember me being smaller back then. So what I would really like is for somebody to do some real research into this and write an article telling us all of how the cream egg has changed.
There have been many varieties of the cream egg released by Cadbury, many which I have not tasted, ones such as the orange and mint flavours I have not tasted and want to get hold of. My most hated of the variants are the mini cream eggs. These tiny cream eggs were not even cream eggs in my opinion, because they were horrible and only seemed to have a caramel filling rather than the fondant in the regular sized egg, when I first bought a packet of these I could not bring myself to finish because they were so bad, I hope they either die or get the proper filling. Of course there is also the cream egg McFlurry, but I am not happy with that either, it is a good ice-cream but it is severally lacking in chocolate and fondant to be reminiscent of a cream egg, I still stand by my statement that the jammy dodger McFlurry was the best McFlurry of all of them and nothing has reached anywhere near its taste standard. The jammy dodger McFlurry was the perfect ice-cream to me, it had the jam which reminded me of the strawberry sauce on a 99, and you had the bits of biscuit to give it a crunch, I really miss this McFlurry on the menu and when I want an ice-cream from McDonalds I find myself struggling to pick one (which is really never because I haven’t been to McDonalds in months)
In conclusion the jammy dodger McFlurry was the best (and still would be) of all McFlurrys, because it was my favourite ice-cream from anywhere, and also it is the only McFlurry which has tasted anything like its non-ice-cream counterpart, it actually tasted like a jammy dodger in ice cream, and I love jammy dodgers. The cream egg is just really good, all the other chocolate companies have had a go at making their own egg but none have met this high standard. People may say it has shrunk, but what hasn’t? Everything is smaller and costs more; it’s just how it goes. Even if the eggs have shrunk I do not mind because you do get enough for your money, but it would be nice to see a larger version for the greedier among us.
I have just got home from school and received an email from windows live telling me of its new service called windows SkyDrive. This is something welcome to me because I like to know things are safe no matter what, I will certainly be uploading all my must keep files to this service when I wipe my laptop clean.
