Cadbury: Our Eggs Aren't Smaller, You Are Bigger

By consumeristcarey April 8, 2007

Actor B.J. Novak from The Office appeared on Late Night with Conan O’Brien bearing proof that Cadbury eggs have recently shrunk. In tow were two Cadbury eggs; the egg from yesteryear was clearly larger than the egg currently on shelves.

Wikipedia claims the eggs have shrunk by 12.3% (citation needed, fellas.) A pack of four eggs weighed 155 grams in 2005, but only weighs 136 grams this year.

Cadbury’s FAQ has contained the same cheeky question since 2003, though it seems especially relevant this year.

Why has the size of the egg changed?
It hasn’t – you’ve just grown up!

This year, the easter egg hunt involves finding the rest of the rest of the easter egg. — CAREY GREENBERG-BERGER

    @Niki: Thanking a corporation for blatant lying? Bend over if you want, but the rest of us don’t care to.

    I can’t say that I feel cheated because I can’t stand them! But I do think that Cadbury needs to own up to it

    I wonder what portion of the downsizing is to minimize the impact of the nutrition information. There are plenty of products out there that claim to be “two servings” when any normal human would eat it all in one sitting.

    I thought you guys would be interested in this. Working together and, most importantly, with Conan, we can fix this Cadbury issue in no time.

    I thought they seemed smaller.

    Either way, I still love them.

    Especially during those 75% off after easter clearances!!!!
