Creme eggs round and fat
I must be one the few people on earth that hates Cadbury Creme Eggs.
My husband, the diabetic, will risk going into a coma, he is so addicted. And I have many tales about my kids fighting over the last one in the house. To some that might seem like a normal sibling thing to do, until you find out that one is a 6-year-old and the other just turned 20. What kind of evil candy makes a 20-year-old fight a kindergartener for the last bite?
Realistically, I would estimate that we buy about 20 per week -- starting sometime in February. This year my husband found them at Kroger as early as the last week in January. You would have thought he won the lottery.
I have tried them numerous times. It's late at night and suddenly I get a strong chocolate urge. After looking through every cabinet, I realize that the only available chocolates are those nasty crème eggs. Once again, I try one. I never get beyond the first bite. The gooey over-sweet filling is not for me.
I decided to Google "I hate creme eggs" to see if anyone else shared my dislike for them. I found this one person who does, but the story is not for the squeamish. I also ran across this strange poem by Liverbirdlou. It proves my theory that the cream is made with some form of opiates.
Cream eggs round and fat
Some I share with my cat
The soft centre is so yummy
You can even eat them if you’re gummy
The outside chocolate is so tasty
I’ll eat it now I won’t be hasty
I wish I could eat my cream eggs all day
Then I will be happy, good and gay!

Are you kidding me? I hate those creme eggs. They are nasty. And how about how they make part of the center yellow? Isn't that disgusting? Like it's imperative that it look very egg-like. Sheesh.
I wouldn't worry about...your health is MUCH better off with you not liking them! hehe! I can't say I care much for them myself..just too sweet. Now fill 'em with some dark chocolate filling and then we'll talk ;-)
I have to admit that I, too, hate them. I love the fact that the filling looks like an egg with a yellow yolk- that part is cool. But the center is so overly sweet it hurts my teeth. In a pinch, I've been known to scoop out the filling & just eat the chocolate. I have a problem.
