Everything you thought you knew about Creme Eggs is wrong

Well, maybe not everything. Just the important bit, after someone had a question for Creme Egg maker Cadbury on Twitter.

This is how they replied.

And some people just couldn’t cope. You could almost say it was a meltdown.

1.

Creme eggs…

Pronounced Crem?

Fuck off Cadbury’s & don’t be so stupid. #cremeegg

I pronounce it as Cadbury’s third rate chocolate filled with shitty wet sugar Egg, actually.

5.

If its supposed to be pronounced 'Crem', why did you market the Halloween "Screme Egg" to rhyme with 'scream'? SCREM EGG?! https://t.co/cO2BUlZu8p

Except then this happened.

Cadbury sparks outrage by telling us we've been pronouncing creme egg wrong our whole lives… then deletes the tweet pic.twitter.com/Ecr1xNmaJ5

And then this.

Looks like we missed out the ‘a’ there! Most definitely pronounced as ‘Cream’ egg!

Don’t panic everyone… all is right with the world again #CremeAsInCreamhttps://t.co/lhvEvkF7Bq

Eggscellent spot from @mrdanwalker our brains were a little fried from all the Creme Egg Camp eggscitement! Don't worry everyone, Creme Egg is pronounced as 'Cream' Egg https://t.co/Pr8wgjLWDa

Let the post mortem begin.

Genuinely think this is accidental but social media managers should note the pure reach of Cadbury mispronouncing it's own product https://t.co/eTQqPg7CEe

This Cadbury bollix is the gif/jif thing all over again. It’s a Cadbury’s Creeem Egg, always was and ever shall be, whoever handled their soc med today needs a glove slap.

At least there’s one thing we can all agree on.

Cadbury eggs make terrible butt plugs.
