New Town Loafer Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 What is the deal with these little chumps? I can consistently rattle through a family pack of them in a short period of time. Bloody outstanding with a cup of tea and they just never get old. Also a really good thing to bring up with people in the office or the gym when there's any awkward silences. Sometimes I actually bring a packet into the gym. What's the verdict on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daktari Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 You know it's Christmas when the Cadbury's eggs appear.... I love these. There's a strange pleasure to be had by letting it melt in the mouth but without cracking the shell so that when you bite it you get a mouthful of melted chocolate. Excuse me for a second, just off down the shops....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then bite into it and the tea and melted chocolate just starts flying about. Superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a Mini Egg story but aCadburys Creme Egg one. I genuinely don’t eat too much chocolate but that said I love Creme Eggs. I am weird though as, for me, they can only be consumed straight from the freezer😱 Sainsburys always have the best deals for them when they first put them on the shelves (about August these days !) so I bought a special offer for 24 Creme Eggs and popped them in the freezer to be consumed over the coming year. My Father in Law’s health and mind was deteriorating to the point my wife, sister in law and brother in law needed to have a family meeting to discuss what they were going to do with their dad. They decided to come to my house and we’d disappear out with the kids for 4-5 hours. So me and my Sister in laws husband took the respective 5 children off to the park, etc... while had their discussion. After 6 hours out with the kids we returned to the house. As I was walking through the living room in toward the dining & kitchen areas I could hear my wife screaming to my brother in law “Neil - You’d better leave Portable Badger at least one or he’ll go mental !” Yep - the three of them had successfully eaten their way through 23 Cadbury’s Creme Eggs !!

iantjambo Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Mini Eggs are delightful. I’m in the ‘let them melt in your mouth a bit, before biting into them’ camp. In fact, I’m off to the shops to get a bag or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Brown Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I always scrutinise price of chocolate, sad ****. Aim for £1/100g at worst. Lindor advent calender £4.50/100g GTF Bought a big bag of Cadbury mis shapes 700g for £4. Taste fine but they always have that white look to them. Like Cadbury dairy milk orange crisp, get it in Tesco for £3.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
