Despite many Australians believing this year’s hollow chocolate eggs and bunnies are “different”, Cadbury has defended its Easter chocolate, saying some flavors are “terrible” and “chemically Some people even say it’s the taste.
Melbourne mother Miles Fyfe shared a review of the Hollow Egg on Sunday, saying Mr Cadbury had “some bones to pick”. “They changed the recipe or added something to the recipe so it tasted awful,” she said. “These taste like garbage.”
Countless people across the country have had similar experiences and told Miles to try Cadbury Bunny too. This also has a “strange” taste.
Australians convinced Cadbury’s eggs are ‘weird’
Miles isn’t the only one to notice this change. Her mother Rebecca shared a similar post on Sunday, saying the hollow eggs she bought from a local supermarket in Western Australia this year tasted “terrible”. “I only bought Cadbury chocolates and now the chocolates have changed!” she posted.
Over the past 24 hours, theories have emerged about what’s going on, prompting a flurry of reactions from confused Australians.
“I bought two 12-packs. One had the Cadbury flavor I’ve known for years and the other tasted like nothing or waxy. I think there’s a bad batch,” one said. One guessed.
“My daughter got a Cadbury bunny and she wouldn’t eat it because she said it tasted like perfume,” said another woman. Meanwhile, a third person, who works at Woolworths, said: “Someone came and said they ‘chemically’ tasted everything.”
However, some of the complainers staunchly defended the Easter chocolate staple, saying people’s brains were being “tricked” into thinking it was something different. “It tastes the same every year because the packaging is different. Your brain is being tricked,” said one person.
“Currently having Cadbury Hollow Eggs and they taste the same but still great,” added another.
Cadbury admits ‘no change’ despite claims
Despite these claims, Cadbury confirmed to Yahoo that the recipe has not changed and that the company has not received any formal complaints.
In response, a spokesperson said, “While we have not directly received any feedback, we can confirm that there are no changes to the recipe,” without providing further details.
Parents claim to have found white chalk-like substance in Easter chocolate
Some Australian parents have reported finding eggs and rabbits covered in a white chalk-like substance.
One Kmart shopper experienced this with a Barbie-themed Easter egg she bought for her child, and another woman complained that her children’s Easter Cadbury chocolates were all white.
“Literally every time I got a bunny, I had to go see the Easter bunny and exchange chocolates,” she explained. “I thought it might have melted because it was stored in a normal place, but it wasn’t.”
Another Australian said he had the same problem with Easter Bunny chocolates he bought from Coles.
