sorted byPreviously, just a few years back, the six pack of creme eggs was available for £1 fairly regularly in ASDA. At that time, Cadbury had also not been bought over by the unscrupulous American giant Kraft/Mondelez and was still largely a British company. Furthermore, the chocolate was manufactured in the UK and not in Poland, as it is now, where production costs are far cheaper. The chocolate was also higher quality than it is now, using more cocoa butter instead of today's palm oil.
So let's not celebrate a "deal" where consumers are paying the same amount of money for a smaller quantity of an inferior product whose production has been outsourced from the UK and which is now owned by an American company.
Cold.

... I'm out of puns
Made using Kraft chocolate now, not Cadbury's daily milk...
EDIT:
I've now completely stopped buying Cadbury's (if you can call it that) and now pretty much exclusively buy Galaxy... (edited)
You're right, they used to be a lot bigger too and more round shaped like an actual egg. That being said, this deal is still fantastic considering their normal price these days. So it's hot from me.
Are you Jacob Rees-Mogg? :/
You're free to buy Creme Eggs made by a different company... Oh wait...
It's no different to Petrol. Yes it used to be cheaper, but now it's not. Tesco taking 10p off per litre would still be a good deal, even if it's still more expensive than it used to be
So if you haven't bought any since they changed it, how do you know they taste rubbish?
I used to think a creme egg too sticky sweet and it would take me at least two days to eat one because they are too sweet to eat in one go. But nowadays, I can quite happily munch on one without any issue. Either they have made them with less sugar over the years, or my taste buds have changed! :/
Tempted to pick this up, but I don't think I can eat more than 2 eggs a month, so this will take me months to eat!
Just your imagination. 40g now, 40g in 2007 and 40g before that. Another urban myth.
Eggcellent
First one to find 'Free with a gallon of petrol' will be the deal.
Same, I used to find them sickly sweet but now the sweetness level is perfect and very enjoyable
Sir is right about the reduction in quality and the use of palm oil instead of cocoa butter. The EU wanted to change the regulations regarding chocolate some years ago and Cadbury protested but the EU were right. Milk chocolate should be minimum 35% cocoa solids and no vegetable fat, just cocoa butter. Dark should be at least 50% cocoa solids. Asda smartprice has no vegetable fat just cocoa butter and 50% cocoa solids as does Morrison's and Tesco's value dark chocolate. Their milk chocolate is 30% cocoa solids and also no vegetable fat, just cocoa butter.
Good. Can't stand it when shop owners buy multipacks of things and sell the individual items at a much higher price. If they're not making a profit though selling the items at the individual prices of what it worked out at, like these for 20p each (which is rare) I don't mind.
I hate it when I see newsagents selling drink cans at 60/70p when they clearly say on them "Multipack can - NOT for resale" or similar.
Good on that supermarket for banning the corner shop owners buying trollyfulls of cheap tubs however I'm sure they found a loophole like getting someone else not working in the shop to buy them instead or online shopping.

i can swear that they are not as big as they used to be. may be my imagination, but if the egg size has not been reduced, the thickness of the chocolate and the white centre mass have been reduced as i can eat one completely and don't feel that it is a lot of chocolate, which i always did in the past. i remember the chocolate used to be really thick and so was the white centre.
in that case my belly is getting bigger!
Very poor quality.
