Have you seen the new ad? Some people are outraged and worried that children will be able to see it and wonder what is going on!

Looked at the ad. All it does is make the egg look bigger than it actually is. It’s like most ads.....annoying.

I thought the add (just been to look now) was rather fun.

Were i not on a diet to get my blood sugar back down I would be a Discreater.....

Were they the Creme Eggs that they used to be.....?

I like Aldi chocolate best,don’t like Cadbury’s. It is different here though, we use sugar cane not sugar beet.

Nothing wrong with the ad. But I agree that the chocolate is nowhere near as nice as it used to be.
I'm surprised that ads for sweets and chocolate are allowed at all.

I was joking about the 2 metre distancing comment and now I have just thought of something really "naughty",Marianne Faithful and Mick Jagger have crept into my mind,sorry!

I retched when I saw a video clip of the advert. Cadbury's chocolate is pretty revolting and even if I was in a relationship with someone I would not do what they are doing.

Horrible, nasty sickly things. Give me a Walnut Whip every time - are they still around?

is that a euphemism ?
i'm so out of touch, see thread about grannies embarrassing youngsters by using naughty words...

'Orrible 'Ershey's chocolate. It's vile.

I haven’t touched anything from Cadbury’s since they were taken over by an American company which promised to protect the workforce and traditions but ground then underfoot the minute they got control. And I’m told they changed recipes to make the chocolate more like horrible American stuff.

In answer to the original question, no thanks. Never have liked them and if the ‘chocolate’ is anything like the rest of Cadbury milk chocolate is now they must be vile.

Cadbury Cream Eggs are much smaller, harder and generally less nice than I remember them, so I no longer buy them. As for the ad, it is just to provoke a response to get in the media.

Urmstongran Mon 11-Jan-21 19:55:08

Their chocolate used to be nice but I agree with GagaJo it’s changed and not in a good way. Greasy best describes it now.

Never liked them, sickly horrible things!

LadyStardust Mon 11-Jan-21 19:01:53

I think the ad is sweet and it has filled every social media page I've been on over the last 24 hours. Job done Cadburys, great media marketing!

EllanVannin Mon 11-Jan-21 18:57:11

Share them ? You could fit a whole one in your mouth and it would still rattle around. They've shrunk.

Urmstongran Mon 11-Jan-21 18:56:21

Perhaps I’ll buy one and try this at home.
?
No, think we’re past that ...

i mean they are actually a couple in real life, would have to be, in time of pandemic.

Maybe advert was made pre pandemic
Can’t see what the issue is.
I don’t think children would bat an eyelid.

Oldbat1 Mon 11-Jan-21 18:49:45

Not seen advert and my teeth don’t like them. ?

rafichagran Mon 11-Jan-21 18:46:48

Yuck, really horrible and sickly. Advert just silly.

Definitely a no for the Ad! Where is the 2 metres social distancing between the 2 men?

they are a couple.
that's the point of the ad; you have to really love someone to share your creme egg.
i never liked them anyway. the eggs i mean. sickly stodge.
is the OP serious. i can never quite tell. a little boy across the road re weddings said, i wonder if i will marry a boy or a girl when i grow up.
