The Cadbury Creme Egg Lament song

[Hilary]

On Mon 12 Jan 2015 Cadbury announced that they are no longer using Dairy Milk chocolate in their Crème Egg shells. This is my protest song . . .

It's a parody of Nothing Compares 2 U, written by Prince. Contains adult language.

Here's a link to the controversy http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30790170

The Cadbury Crème Egg Lament - Hilary Fox 15.1.15

It's been 7 mins and 16 secs
Since I've had a Cadbury Crème Egg
I can eat every night and still eat all day
When I'm eating Cadbury Crème Eggs


Since they swapped the dairy milk
In the Cadbury Crème Egg shell
It's just not the same

Apparently they're using an inferior chocolate now
It don't taste quite the same

Because Dairy Milk
Nothing compares to you

I could put my arms around every man I see
They can't put their arms around me (well not all the way)
I went to the shop and guess what they told me
Guess what they told me
They said, girl, (really) why don't you try a Snicker Bar, or maybe two

I said – don't mess with my Cadbury Crème Egg
Nothing compares - fuck you

It's been 9 mins and 21 secs
Since I've had a Cadbury Crème Egg . . .

He he. Very good, made me chuckle. I hate when they start cutting corners on your favorite things, putting less in packs and things like that, the sneaky gits!!!

Marvelous Hilary  very meaningful but true today with so
many products getting and loosing their original quality
great listen though CHEERS  NEIL.!

This is cute.  I really like this.  Rubbing it in a little.  Here in the USA the Cadbury Cream Eggs are staying the same.  They're only changing the recipe "across the pond".  Sorry about that, UK!

Hey Hilary, that parody is pretty rich... unlike the "new" Cadbury eggs, no doubt.  And the slide show video was a nice bonus too.  Thanks for sharing.
