Cadbury Says We’ve Been Pronouncing ‘Creme Egg’ Wrong, And Everyone’s Furious
"Crem"? "CREM"??????
It’s almost the non-denominational chocolate egg celebratory season, or as it used to be known “Easter”, and that means two things: Jesus is back and people are hungry for a Cadbury Creme Egg.
But overnight, Cadbury itself has shocked and appalled the milky public by announcing that we’ve been pronouncing “creme” incorrectly all along.
In a now-deleted tweet, a fan of the sweet creme eggs took to the social media machine and asked Cadbury to clarify the correct pronunciation of Creme Egg.
“Crem egg. Can I have a crem egg please? Lovely crem egg.”
“Do you mean a cream egg, son?”
“No I mean a crem egg, feetheeer” pic.twitter.com/SfU8G3nvHD

The response seemed firmly and definitively that the controversial word is pronounced “crem“, rather than “cream“. Why are our beloved eggs pronounced in the manner of either a French or pretentious person?
People exploded into immediate outrage, the entire foundations of their delicious universe rocked, the very pillars of their worship of the powerful cocoa bunny shook.
you can call it "crem egg" when you take it from my cold dead hands, i mean I've eaten it now but it was in my hand, you will also have to be fast

We can only assume that the world was mere moments from rioting in the streets, from storming the Cadbury chocolate factories and tearing it down like a dystopian Willy Wonka reboot — but luckily Cadbury realised their own insanity and desperately walked back their maniacal mistake.
In a series of tweets which somehow managed to stink of social media manager sweat, they claimed that actually “Creme Egg” is pronounced “Cream Egg”, and a simple ‘e’ had been lost mid-tweet.
Looks like we missed out the ‘a’ there! Most definitely pronounced as ‘Cream’ egg! ?

Please eggscuse our typo. Creme Egg is most definitely pronounced as 'Cream' Egg. Things got a little bit scrambled there!

It looks like we are safe for another year from sheer anarchy, and we can all consume the creamed eggs until our hearts explode from the delicious strain. It’s an eggday miracle.
