Easter has come and gone but there is one rumour that still persists. The Cadbury Creme Egg that is sold every year between January and Easter is supposedly getting smaller. Is this true? Well, maybe it depends on where you live. If you visit Cadbury’s UK website, you’ll see the question asked. Their answer is that it is not getting smaller, you are only growing up! However, in the US, the egg is 15% smaller this year. While it used to be 1.38 ounces, it is now only 1.2 ounces. That is, however, 171.6 calories of creme egg.
