The Cadbury Creme Eggs we know and love (or hate) today, however, weren't invented until 1963 under the name “Fry's Creme Eggs.” The name changed to “Cadbury Creme Eggs” in 1971. In 1985, Cadbury launched a successful ad campaign, “How do you eat yours?” and the eggs have only achieved more fame as a result.

According to Cadbury, it's actually fondant – made of sugar, milk, glucose, syrup, cocoa butter, inverted sugar syrup, dried whey, vegetable fats and dried egg white. “Life isn't the same anymore when you realise the filling inside the Cadbury Creme Egg is just icing sugar,” one person wrote.

Satisfaction with Cadbury Creme Eggs has fallen dramatically among consumers since the product's controversial recipe change, new figures have shown. Mondelez announced in January 2015 it would no longer be making the treat with Dairy Milk, but instead with “standard cocoa mix chocolate”.

Cadbury Makes a Ton of Eggs Each Year Cadbury produces about 500 million creme eggs a year. So many that if you were to stack them each on top of one another, the pile would be 10 times taller than Mount Everest!

And somewhat of a stale aftertaste. So does that mean you should stop buying american-made Cadbury eggs and only buy ones made in the UK. Maybe.

There are a few theories: Some say it's a variation of the Yiddish word, “echt keem” which means, “pure sweetness”. Another idea is that it's Brooklyn speak for “a cream”. It also could have been named for the creamy froth on top of the drink that looks kind of like a foamy, egg white top.

Sorry, But They're Not Healthy At All. We all understand that a fondant-filled chocolate egg is not the most nutritional thing you can eat, but you probably didn't know that one egg actually contains all the sugar you should eat in one day.

Back in 2015, Cadbury products, including the iconic Creme Egg, were banned from being imported into the United States. It all started when Hershey Chocolate Corporation filed a lawsuit alleging that Cadbury copied an already existing Hershey chocolate egg recipe of theirs.

The food giant that owns the Cadbury brand is embroiled in fresh allegations of employing child labour after an investigation obtained footage of children working with machetes on cocoa farms in its supply chain.

It is the second largest confectionery brand in the world after Mars. Cadbury is internationally headquartered in Greater London, and operates in more than 50 countries worldwide. It is known for its Dairy Milk chocolate, the Creme Egg and Roses selection box, and many other confectionery products.

“Crumb” gives the chocolate its unique flavour Invented by George Cadbury in 1905, it's the base that gives all Cadbury products their flavour. 27,000 tonnes of crumb are produced each year.

We found that very few popped the whole egg into their mouths to chow down in one go. Apparently, the way to eat the Creme Egg is to break it down into parts and savour every bite; nibbling at the thick shell and then scooping out the filling.

There's something specifically nostalgic about an egg cream, which, for the uninitiated, is simply a milky, (usually) chocolate soda. It's refreshingly fizzy but not too sweet, with a foamy head that resembles blowing bubbles into chocolate milk with a straw.

The classic, frothy egg cream is nostalgia in a glass.

Cadbury Creme Eggs are manufactured as two chocolate half shells, each of which is filled with a white fondant made from sugar, glucose syrup, inverted sugar syrup, dried egg white, and flavouring.
