    Headline in the Independent today.
    Shock Horror, a Nation Mourns: In a bilateral attack on the glory of Easter, Cadbury's has stunned consumers by changing the recipe of its Creme Eggs and reducing their number in boxes from six to five.

    The insanely sweet but moreish snack is only on sale for three months of the year. making the change all the more egregious.

    Reports that the latest batch of Creme Eggs tasted different were followed up by The Sun, wih Cadbury's confirming to the tabloid that it has switched out Dairy Milk for a "standard cocoa mix chocolate" in the shell.

    "It's no longer Dairy Milk. It's similar, but not exactly Dairy Milk," a Kraft spokesperson said.

      Update on this.
      Pound shops or 99p seem to have them. I think there's one in Surbiton which has had them.

      I got 4 for £1 in Poundworld in Inverness recently, and there's another shop in Dingwall which has 5 for £1.
      I was robbed!

          The past is another country: they do things differently there....





          "...the isle is full of noises,
          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            Say it ain't so.
            I haven't tried one of the new ones yet.

                  Lion bars are one of the all time greats. One for the hall of fame.
                  Picnics are strictly for emergencies only.
                  I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                  I am not a number, I am a free man.

                        There is a philosophical angle to chocolate that seems to have passed you by, IIMSS.

                        The Lion Bar has integrity, verve, style. it stick two fingers up to the established order, and roars youthful defiance.

                        Ahem...

                        Anyway, just hoovering up a few xmas odds, and found a box of Aldi brand Cointreau Chocolate Liquers, and really very good they are too.
                        No sugar lining inside the chocolate, just choccy and booze. Nice.

                          Presumably I'm an ignoramus then. I don't think I've ever had a Lion bar; and recall (but only just) being underwhelmed by a Picnic bar. Does the latter have raisins in?

                            It certainly does have raisins!

                            It's more a banquet than a picnic.

                                Isn't Hoover a brand name, rather than a verb?
