This is purely a move to retain profit margins on a product. Reducing the size of a candbury egg will put no one on a diet. This is purely a move to retain profit margins on a product.

The price is the same though. Hershey makes Cadbury candy in the U.S. under license.

However, in the United States, our business partner, Hershey, elected to reduce the size of the crème egg." What's up with that? Has the UK and Canada always had smaller eggs or do they get the bigger ones while the US gets the smaller ones? That's odd. Maybe online you can order the regular sized ones from a Canadian candy company?

I thought the larger ones were too sweet and hard to finish one. I rarely ate them. My husband bought some this year and now I can eat them and enjoy them. Having said that, they should NOT charge the same price for a smaller product. That's hooey. I actually like the new Cadbury egg size. I thought the larger ones were too sweet and hard to finish one.

We studied it in one of my college media courses. They actually made that bags bigger one year and dropped ounces by 2!

I guess they decided "We were hoping we could charge the same price for less product and make a great profit" wouldn't have sat so well with consumers.
