Your comment reminded of the time 10+ years ago when avid Cadbury Egg enthusiast B.J. Novak was on Conan and talked about how he thought Cadbury Eggs were shrinking and proved it by bringing out a Cadbury Cream egg he had around his house from years prior.

- monksy 5y agoThe biggest reason why Cadbury Eggs suck in the US is because the brand Cadbury is owned by Hersey and they make terrible chocolate. Get some in the UK the next time you're there. (Yes, the eggs have shrunk)
- jnsie 5y agoHate to break it to you, but since 2010 Cadbury UK has been owned by Mondelez International. The quality of Cadbury in Europe is declining, IMHO. (I never liked US Cadbury)
- monksy 5y agoThere is still a massive difference between the chocolates. (Hersey vs now Mondelez) Herseys tastes like wax that's gone bad.
- ceejayoz 5y agoThere's a specific reason for that. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hersheys-chocolate-tastes-like-vomit_l_60479e5fc5b6af8f98bec0cd https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hersheys-chocolate-tastes-lik...
- tweedledee 5y agoMy favorite part was the gaslighting done by Cadbury. “It hasn’t gotten smaller, you’ve gotten bigger”
