The Cadbury brothers first introduced the Cadbury Creme Egg* way back in 1923 but the Cadbury Creme Egg Easter treat we know and love today, was first made in 1971 in the UK and it came to our beloved country in 1975.
The Cadbury Creme Egg* treat is adored around the world. In fact, did you know that Cadbury produces over 500 million Cadbury Creme Egg treats each year – and remember they are only around from January until Easter! If you piled all Cadbury Creme Egg treats made each year on top of each other – the pile would be higher than Mount Everest!
Part of the magic of Cadbury Creme Egg* is enjoying the Goo – that’s the unique, fondant filling that only Cadbury has. We know people eat their Cadbury Creme Egg treats in their own way and for decades we’ve asked – how do you eat yours?
How do you eat yours?
Well, did you know:
- Over 50% of people bite off the top, lick out the filling and then eat the shell!
- About 20% just bite straight through – wow!
- And over 15% use their finger to scoop out the filling
We know you still want more goooeyness – so visit www.cadburycremeegg.ca
And unwrapping it is part of the fun too!
- Some are what we call delicate peelers – they are slow, kind and methodical
- Others are stage peelers – they unwrap just enough to eat a little at a time
- And then there’s quick discarders – they rip off the foil and can’t wait to dig in!
Quick Facts
The Cadbury Creme Egg* plant at Bournville UK can produce more than 1.5 million eggs per day.
If you laid all the eggs made on the Cadbury Creme Egg plant end to end, they would stretch all the way from the Bourneville factory in Birmingham UK to Sydney in Australia - that's 12,000 miles.
The Bournville plant prepares all year for the sale of Cadbury Creme Egg treats which are only sold between January and Easter each year.
Cadbury Creme Egg treats are available in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
