Chocolate Eggsamples
I was thinking today in Tesco at the chocolate egg section, here I am, I could either buy a delicious chocolatey, melty, creamy treat of an chocolate egg by LIndt Lindor or I could buy an excuse of a chocolate egg made from cheap and nasty ingredients stripped from an endangered rainforest that leaves a chemically greasy aftertaste by Cadbury and I really was stumped not knowing what to decide.
![]() Yeah right!!!! The thing is that both these items cost around the same price, actually the Cadburys one was 4P cheaper. How can Lindt produce such a high quality item for around the same price that Cadbury is demanding for their muck? How do they get away with it?

It's true what you say and people are creatures of habit that's so true but I think the penny is starting to drop about Cadbury. Even calling them Cadburys is even sounding hollow nowadays. A bit like their crappy creme egg boxes are becoming lol
The proof is in the pudding and their so called chocolate is tasting really disgusting and in fact the taste gives away the fact that you know there is nothing good in their ingredients any longer. In fact I noticed that a lot of Cadbury's products are being left on the shelf and have been reduced for a quick sale. It's a con for them to pretend that people aren't starting to vote with their feet. I think the public is realising that the Cadbury's name is not representative of quality any longer. I think you are correct that the majority don't give much thought to the rainforest being destroyed but the people that do care are really passionate about it. The company that have taken over have such arrogance it's unbelievable. When questioned about how they have changed the chocolate recipe they just brazenly lie and say they have altered nothing. I hope they go out of business tbh and the sooner the better. Also then maybe we'll still have some beautiful orangutans in the world for longer instead of crappy, soapy, inedible tasting palm oil tree plantations of death. |

Take a look at both product's list of ingredients, you'll soon see why Lindt is better quality than Cadbury.
That said, Lindt Lindor still isn't "quality" chocolate, although it is addictive. Their 70% Cocoa+ bars are amazing. |

They can't, and they don't. As you said yourself, the Lindt was more expensive. I take it this was a small, Creme egg size sorta thing? Four pence isn't much in your pocket, but at that small scale, it represents a big difference in terms of pence per gram/ per 100g, and the larger the egg, the bigger the difference in price. Gram for gram, and excluding promotions, Lindt eggs will always cost more than Cadbury's. Is that because they use genuinely higher quality ingriedients, or it is that we've simply been conditioned by marketing and advertising to believe that Lindt is better simply because they charge more for their products?
I wouldn't argue with you over the quality as I think that if you are someone who is content with what 'Cadburys' is offering then obviously that is what you are happy to have. I personally don't feel like I've been conditioned how to think about Lindt as a product as I don't see that they exactly use in your face type advertising, but when I'm shopping I know it's there. The quality speaks for itself. |

Important update:
The Cadburys creme egg is 50p, the same price as the LIndt egg!!!!!! So you can either pay 50p for some real chocolate or you can pay 50p for some synthetic, soap fat, faux chocolate that leaves a bitter aftertaste. Happy Easter!!!!
