Cream eggs

[DMAC1144]

Are Cadbury's Cream Eggs only produced for the Easter market? I know you can still get them in certain shops throughout the year but aren't these just unsold eggs from easter?

They were originally produced for Easter but because of their popularity are now available all year.

You sure? I don't seem to see them, except in the odd run down spar that doesn't get many customers. So I just gathered that they were left overs. Thanks though.

I would agree with you, I only ever see them in the months coming up to and surrounding easter. Could b wrong though

I called in my local Safeway at lunch time, and there was a big display of them there - nothing to do with any season, they were just ... there.

hahah Nice one Andy. A guy who searches for the truth. o there you go then. Anytime of year..?

You can get them all year round in my local Tesco.

I don't think the fact that they are in the shops now means they are available all year round, as supermarkets start stocking Easter products as soon as they've cleared the Christmas stock off the shelves!

[DMAC1144]

Yeah exactly. Sure nuts for halloween are in the shops around the beginnng of August. Christmas stuff is in around October and Easter stuff comes in around now. I think you find if you buy a Cream Egg now or around easter the centre will be all soft and creamy, but if you leave it to buy one in June or after then your going to get one with a firmer centre. Mind you, this could all be in my mind. Dave

The very small W H Smith outlet in my local railstation has a big bin of creme eggs.

Cadbury's make them all year long (I know, I once worked at a Cadbury's site where their staff shop sold reject eggs - ever eaten a bag of 9 one after another), so Dave needn't DMAC1144's worry about them being hard inside
