Cadbury 'Ruins' Their Iconic Eggs

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially when it comes to best-selling Easter candy!
It was announced that Mondelez International, which owns Cadbury, has changed the original Cadbury Creme Egg formula for production in U.K. The company is now using a “standard cocoa mix chocolate” in its recipe, instead of dairy milk. 
The company has also changed its packaging size — from six to five Easter eggs in a box  while charging the same price.
Not good.
The reduction in eggs is due to “changes in economic factors, such as the cost of ingredients that make our eggs so delicious,” Cadbury recently tweeted.
When Cadbury announced the eggs’ return via Facebook — writing that they were “totes emosh” about it — commenters voiced their own “emosh” opinions on the changes, calling for a “boycott” of the “ruined” eggs.
