The backstory:
The shocking Sun revelation:
A Kraft spokesman told the Mirror:
It's no longer Dairy Milk. It's similar, but not exactly Dairy Milk. We tested the new one with consumers. It was found to be the best one for the Creme Egg, which is why we've used it this year. The Creme Egg has never been called the Cadbury's Dairy Milk Creme Egg. We have never played on the fact that Dairy Milk chocolate was used.
The reaction:
This has definitely ruined my Monday, even more than twisting my knee in yoga. #CremeEgg #Scandal #CadburysCremeEggs
oh man, this is what happens when you sell a national institution to a faceless American corporation #CremeEgg http://t.co/4GuH9Dtm98
Creme Egg changing bastards
Its a disgrace! American chocalate coming over here and talking jobs from british chocolate. Vote #ukip for a british #CremeEgg
I don't believe it's acceptable to mess around with the Cadburys #CremeEgg
#CremeEgg omg I spat out my creme egg today what the hell is the shell made off now cod it don't taste like chocolate!!
The Change petition:
It gets worse. Multipacks of three and six have been changed to boxes of five and twelve.
Enough is enough! Austerity has gone too far … Where’s the 6th creme egg gone? #disappointed
So #CremeEgg have changed the chocolate recipe and also reduced the box from 6 to 5 eggs. ARMAGEDDON IS COMING!
The struggle:
