I remember the first time I ate a Cadbury Egg. I love sweets, but OMG this was sweet. If you’ve never had one because just the look of the gooey white and yellow insides makes you feel a bit quesy, maybe this would be a good time to look for a Cadbury Egg. Or maybe not.
The stars have not been aligned for the amazingly good Cadbury Egg. There was a recall in Canada when it was found some plastic had made its way into the product and someone cut their wouth while eating a Cadbury Egg. Then there was a recall in the U.K. when the warning about possible nut contents was left off. And just about a year ago there a recall because of possible contamination with salmonella.
All of this has hurt the candy and soda giant, causing them to loss one percent of the vast U.K. candy market. Hmm, that doesn’t sound all that serious, how big can one percent be? Let’s see, losses of 760 million pounds, that would be what, about a billion and half dollars? Oh, right, I guess one percent in a lot.
Cadbury Schweppes owns my beloved Dr Pepper as well as Snapples, Trident gum and countless other things. I could get by with Cadbury Eggs, but a world without Dr Pepper is too terrible to contemplate.
