I bite off the top and scoop the inside out with my tongue like some sort of a filthy chocolate pervert.

What about you?

In the past when they still tasted good.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

They used to be quite a bit larger and creamier. Eating them now-a-days just evokes irritation at shrinkflation, and nostalgia for what they're supposed to taste like despite knowing we'll never get that back.

Gotta respect it.

The least messy way.

One year there were mint ones in Australia!

I've never seen them before or since. I wish they came back. My wife loved them.

I can't have them. Too much sugar. I'd like to keep my feet please.

I haven't had one in years but I hear they've changed the recipe (less cocoa, more sugar or something?)

But yes, pervert-style for me too.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 7 points 7 months ago

I'm in the Pervert-style Gang or was the last time I had one - I'm avoiding added sugar as much as possible and these always felt like they were giving you diabetes.

Poke a hole in one end, then bite the other and suck.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

An egg-blower (or sucker)? Controversial.

Given the viscosity of the contents I'd imagine you'd need a large hole or two.

That's what she said

Did yer granny teach you that?

What happened in these comments?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 5 points 7 months ago

Massive spam attack on the Threadiverse. We just got a bit of backwash.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

I tilt my head up and pour milk into my mouth, then dunk the egg into it. Milk splashes everywhere as I chortle the egg in it's milk bath. Everyone in the hotel lobby stares in bewilderment as security is called and I'm escorted off the premises and told never to return.

It's the only way to truly enjoy a Cadbury egg.

[–] Illuminostro@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I can't eat them anymore. Way, way too sweet.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Bite a hole in one end, flip it upside down, let the filling slowly run out, close my eyes and lick at the dripping filling with my tongue.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I don't because these things are quite disgusting. The inside is just...no thanks.

[–] Lizardking27@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Congratulations you're today's incorrect person.

[–] YungOnions@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

Agreed. These are sickly, awful things. There are dozens of us who don't like these! Dozens!

[–] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 7 months ago

In the mouth hole.

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 2 points 7 months ago

I put it in my mouth, and suck it and suck it.

I actually despise these things and regret it every time I try them again, but for some reason this picture still made me crave it.

[–] Lemming421@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Is because they used to be nice, but then they change the recipe and now just taste of sugar and diabetes

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

The picture looks like it's the old style. Or maybe the new style briefly looks like that but then it dries out in the truck or on the shelves.

But with all of these comments in this thread as if that's what Cadbury eggs were still like, I gotta wonder if if the fediverse has made it onto guerrilla marketer's lists. This does not feel like the Lemmy I know.

[–] Jaccident@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

At first a nibble. Then a slow tempting lick. I suck and munch my liquid lunch; And then I swallow quick.

Why?

[–] LifeCoffeeGaming@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

This is the way
