    ...assuming, of course, you're talking about people who don't agree that Cadbury creme eggs are awesome.

    And I don't think they've changed the recipe...but if they aren't fresh, they get weird. Or as one particular person in here might say, "less mucousy". They have a very short shelf life...so you have to buy them fresh and eat them fast.

    Our possibly it's just that our tastes change between childhood and adulthood?

    As a kid, I remember getting a Twinkie like once a year or so (my mom was a Mean Mom) and when I got one MY GOD BUT IT WAS HEAVEN. Oh holy HANNAH my eyes rolled back in my head. Fast forward to adulthood, I happened to get a Twinkie at some point and ate it and...ugh. It tasted like a sweet sponge.

    I can't imagine the "Twinkie recipe" has changed in some fundamentally gourmet way as the ingredients weren't particularly stellar to begin with.

    I was thinking this too. As a kid, I only got Spaghetti-O's when I went to a friend's house. When I got to college I was all "ZOMMMGGGG Spaghetti-O's get in mah mouf."

    They taste like wet dog.

    Similar results with TV Dinners, Swiss Cake Rolls, and Fish Sticks.

    R.I.P. my entire childhood.

    The recipe is different depending on where they are made (and in fact, they may all be made in one factory now I think). The New Zealand ones were freaking awesome, then they stopped producing them here and we get UK ones instead. They are not the same. Sales have fallen considerably.

    This may be the saddest things I've ever heard.

    My Friday is ruined.

    There was a national outcry. We also used to have a white chocolate version (dream eggs), that went with the *kitten* to the UK too. Damn you Cadbury, damn you!!!

    (and you should have seen what happened when they tried putting palm oil in their chocolate. They backtracked on that one pretty quick)

    Actually, I believe production of the Twinkie has changed in the last few years as ownership changed. But yeah, I have no doubt our tastes change as we get older. Cadbury creme eggs are still awesome though...unless they've changed them and they no longer are.

    Keeping it alive!!

    Bought A 5 pack of Cadbury eggs today. I'm gonna have one later.

    Since it's not a hard boiled egg, I can still become a cage fighter, yeah?

    That depends. Are they the caramel eggs, or the crème eggs?

    Because the crème eggs are ****ing nasty - if you can eat one of those without gagging, you totally have what it takes to be a cage fighter.

    You are dead to me.


    Dead. To. Me.

    :indifferent:

    Dead to me as well. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, she never existed.

    Seriously? You should all be kissing my tail in order to receive my cast-off Easter basket rejects.

    Amateurs.

    I have standards. Standards that prevent me from accepting candy from a known terrorist* such as yourself.





    (*based on my deeply-held and almost certainly correct belief that not liking Cadbury creme eggs means one is a terrorist, of course)

    Stand up and fight the atrocities committed against chocolate!

    Wait. Which one of us is the terrorist again? Now I'm confused...

    ...and hungry.

    I felt/feel that way about all Little Debbie snack cakes and boxed cookies.

    I keep buying Girl Scout cookies though. For some reason.

    Samoas are still delicious (although I probably wouldn't have liked them as a kid)...but Caramel Delites not as much.

    But I don't really have a choice about buying Girl Scout cookies as they send a very convincing elite squad to my door every single year. While they don't explicitly say it, it is implied that they will rough me up if I don't buy my usual boxes...like some kind of GS protection racket.

    I've pretty much stopped buying things that were awesome in childhood for fear of ruining anymore pleasant memories.

    This also holds true for movies.

    I've yet to find a movie I enjoyed in my childhood that is as enjoyable to watch now. E.T....Goonies...even the Raiders of the Lost Ark movies. And it isn't just childhood movies either. I decided that it was time for my 10 year old son to experience the awesomeness that are the Terminator movies. (Don't judge me. He's my fourth child. I'm just lucky I haven't completely misplaced him somewhere yet.) He concluded that they were "kind of dumb"...especially the first one. I tried explaining how the special effects were even ahead of its time. He's saying things like, "you can just imagine the hand holding the little model ships flying them around." :grumble:

    I haven't tested it yet (partly because I'm afraid to), but maybe Weird Science has a chance.

    That's only because the "try to look sweet and innocent, girls" thing didn't work on you.

    They marked your door in invisible ink last year and this year when they came around and ran the ultraviolet scanner, they nodded to one another with narrowed eyes and said, "Code Blue."

    Oh they have their ways, dude. They have their ways.

    Sweet and innocent my butt, those Girl Scouts canvas, divide and attack the neighborhood with all the stealth and cold calculation of a Special Ops mission.

    They WILL have that badge. Failure is not an option.

    p.s. Three words: Peanut Butter Patties. Do they put crack in those things? Seriously. I've been known to lie to my kids and tell them the box got wet and the cookies got ruined just so I could sneak them back out of my closet after lights-out. They're starting to doubt me and I'm wondering whether I hedged my bets a bit too far by telling them that peanut butter cups are the most likely Halloween candy to wind up full of pins and therefore must be removed and hidden - I'm sorry, thrown away.

    Those Girl Scouts. I'd try everything to get out of buying. (Yes I lie to children. And often).

    "I'm allergic to gluten" the little twerps have a GF option now.

    "Sorry I'm broke!" They ask me how I can go to the grocery store if I am truly broke, and can't j afford just x dollars to help Girl Scouts?

    "I hate your cookies and I will not eat them." Well buy a few boxes troops ma'am! OR DO YOU HATE AMERICA AS MUCH AS YOU HATE THE GIRL SCOUTS!?!?

    F*** you monsters, gimme a case of trefoils.


    Side note: just ate a Cadbury egg. 'Twas delicious. Mucus and all :)

    This is a great thread.

    Explain to them that Easter was originally Ostara- a Pagan fertility festival to celebrate rebirth and the return of light, and that eggs and rabbits are mere symbols of fertility never intended for anthropomorphic action. You can conclude the lesson by letting them eat the eggs, then bury the eggshells and plant shrubbery on top.

    You are waiting too long to show your kids those movies. I introduced my 6 year old and 3 year old to The Goonies about a month ago. Nothing is as humorous as watching your 3 year old lift his shirt up and do the Truffle Shuffle... If you wait too long, then the kids will be jaded and unimpressed by special effects like the giant stone about to mow down Indy. Plus when they are this young, they don't get all the sexual tension of the Goonies...

    Well, you have to, I mean what other line of defense do you have at your disposal? They gang up and surround you and stare at you with those big, big innocent shining eyes and you can't look away. You...can't...look...away.

    I've busted the bank many a Christmas due to this Jedi mind trick.

    As a kid, I remember getting a Twinkie like once a year or so (my mom was a Mean Mom) and when I got one MY GOD BUT IT WAS HEAVEN. Oh holy HANNAH my eyes rolled back in my head. Fast forward to adulthood, I happened to get a Twinkie at some point and ate it and...ugh. It tasted like a sweet sponge.

    I can't imagine the "Twinkie recipe" has changed in some fundamentally gourmet way as the ingredients weren't particularly stellar to begin with.

    I was thinking this too. As a kid, I only got Spaghetti-O's when I went to a friend's house. When I got to college I was all "ZOMMMGGGG Spaghetti-O's get in mah mouf."

    They taste like wet dog.

    Similar results with TV Dinners, Swiss Cake Rolls, and Fish Sticks.

    R.I.P. my entire childhood.

    I've pretty much stopped buying things that were awesome in childhood for fear of ruining anymore pleasant memories.

    This also holds true for movies.

    I've yet to find a movie I enjoyed in my childhood that is as enjoyable to watch now. E.T....Goonies...even the Raiders of the Lost Ark movies. And it isn't just childhood movies either. I decided that it was time for my 10 year old son to experience the awesomeness that are the Terminator movies. (Don't judge me. He's my fourth child. I'm just lucky I haven't completely misplaced him somewhere yet.) He concluded that they were "kind of dumb"...especially the first one. I tried explaining how the special effects were even ahead of its time. He's saying things like, "you can just imagine the hand holding the little model ships flying them around." :grumble:

    I haven't tested it yet (partly because I'm afraid to), but maybe Weird Science has a chance.

    You are waiting too long to show your kids those movies. I introduced my 6 year old and 3 year old to The Goonies about a month ago. Nothing is as humorous as watching your 3 year old lift his shirt up and do the Truffle Shuffle... If you wait too long, then the kids will be jaded and unimpressed by special effects like the giant stone about to mow down Indy. Plus when they are this young, they don't get all the sexual tension of the Goonies...



    No, I mean, *I* didn't enjoy them when rewatching them as an adult...so to preserve my fond childhood memories, I'm no longer rewatching them at all. My son can watch them on his own time. Not worth losing my memories over it. Besides, he'd just pick apart the plot anyhow.

    Yup. They are corny as hell, Indy is the worst archaeologist ever and as a professional it should pain me to watch his antics, but I love them. As a side note, it was always fun to see students come to the realisation that archaeology is nothing like how it is portrayed in the movies (but it's still a good way to get them in the door!).

    You haven't been reading the entire thread. Carrots have too many calories for her to become a super serious cage fighter.

    In addition to my Cadbury egg, I just had chocolate chips in my yogurt.

    I've got two strands of flu, a touch of pneumonia, and figure I can do what I want. :grinning:
