The Cadbury Creme Egg Conspiracy told on Late Night w/Conan O'Brien

[Shifty]

This is only for Americans who like buying the eggs, the rest of the world have nothing to be upset about (for now).

During an interview on the April 4th, 2007 episode of Late Night with Conan O' Brien, actor B. J. Novak said that he buys Cadbury Creme Eggs every year, and took issue with Cadbury's claim that the eggs were not getting smaller ("They're Not Getting Smaller, You've Gotten Bigger!"), The Cadbury Schweppes Creme Egg Fact Sheet has a FAQ section with the question, "Why has the size of the egg changed?" and the answer, "It hasn't - you've just grown up!" However, this statement has been on Cadbury's UK-based website since at least October 23, 2003[1] - long before the smaller 2007 egg was released. However, the UK-based site of Cadbury's global operation does not necessarily apply to Cadbury products purchased in the United States. They are made by Hershey's under license. The Cadbury Creme Egg in the UK, Canada and Australia remains unchanged and the website FAQ valid. The American Cadbury website makes no claims about the size of the egg nor the size of the eater.

The interview on Conan O'Brien does not mention this, but does go on to show Novak with an unopened Cadbury Creme Egg from 2006, which he'd brought with him to the interview. The camera zoomed in on the two eggs for comparison purposes, and a visible size difference was revealed, with the 2006 egg being noticeably larger.

The Explosive Truth from Late Night on Conan O'Brien (http://gorillamask.net/conancadbury.shtml)

[Kaboom]

run for the hills!

[tzarinna]

I love those damn things and I walked right by them in the store today. :cmad: And yes they do look smaller. :cmad:
Tomorrow. *slurps*

[Immortalfire]

Those things are disgusting.

[tzarinna]

R Not! :cmad:

[Calvin]

I knew my childhood was over when my taste buds went from worshiping those to being disgusted by the sugar overload.

[Babs Gordon]

Yeah. I never ate the chocolate though... just the creme filling.

[Golgo-13]

Those things are disgusting.
NOT!

[Joker]

I love cadburry creme eggs...it's a like a diabetic coma in delicious egg form :o

[WompuM]

Any worker at walgreens will know how infurating those damn things are. Especially when they are on coupons. Look at the pic. Looks how crumppled the UPC code is. It never scans and they are always some obscure price such as 48 cents. Son of a *****,

[Asteroid-Man]

Those look weird! In Canada they look like this

Mr. Big and especially Wunderbar are THE GREATEST chocolate bars in the world and the states doesn't even have them

[Joker]

we dont have the Wunderbar because as a people we're uncomfortable with the Nazi connotations of the name :o

[Dew k. Mosi]

Cadbury Eggs are nearly as gross as real eggs

[Immortalfire]

we dont have the Wunderbar because as a people we're uncomfortable with the Nazi connotations of the name :o

And the fact that Asteroid Man likes them is enough for us not to want them. :ninja:

:oldrazz:

Canada does have Coffee Crisp. But the UK has the best candy.

That buck buck bucking bunny scared me as a kid :csad:

[GunBlade]

I wish it was a real egg with chocolate candy coating.

[Archangel]

Cadbury's Mini-Eggs are vastly superior.

[04nbod]

i can't believe its past easter and i haven't had a cadbury's creme egg.
and what the hell was he doing with one from last year- thats kind of gross if its just been left in his fridge for 12 months

[gkokujin]

those are the most disgusting creation in candydom.

What do you think Cadbury or grocery stores do with all the ones that don't sell? They store them somewhere but it isn't a fridge or freezer.

[FRUITY]

I wish bunnies really do lay chocolate eggs so I can throw it back at them. I weep for what easter could've been.:csad:

♥

[TNC9852002]

lol....I think I had a Mr. Big bar just once...I remember it tasting pretty good..

I haven't had a Cadbury creme egg in years and years...I do remember liking them but I don't ever seem to know where to get any..

-TNC

[black_dust]

I love em i have a fridge full, knew those suckers were getting smaller

[JustABill]

Oh noes11!!!

Scooby and the Gang will have to get right on this.

[blind_fury]

lolz. They think because the eggs come out once a year nobody's going to notice they decreased the size by 30 percent!!!

I demand a free 400 pound cadbury egg to make up for the smaller/overpriced ones I bought.

[Sugarculted]

Should send them a letter or something, regarding the difference in size. My dad did when he was a kid, and all he did was complain about the Mars bars not having enough chocolate in them...

...which was rather bizarre, nonetheless Mars sent him a huge box of em.

Kinda hating this thread right now, due to having the huge urge to buy a gazillion creme eggs :csad:

[WompuM]

word

^ Yeah, this is the size they should really be! ^

But seriously, you would puke so much if you ate it

I've always dreamed about having one of those around Easter :o

[Drakon]

Kinda reminds me of an old Archie comic I read. Jughead was really upset that they made the holes bigger in the doughnuts, but then stopped complaining once he realized that the Doughnut Hole snacks were bigger because of it.

[Maximum Carnage]

I wish it was a real egg with chocolate candy coating.


.. BLEH.
