    Just break up.

    yea you should totally just break up - this kind of blatent disregard for your cadbury egg preference clearly indicates that he does not care about you at all...


    honestly, i cant even believe this is a serious question.... get your own damn cadbury eggs if you want one so bad

    That wasn't the point.
    The point was what to do when someone gets something for you specially, and you don't want to fit it into your calories o-O

    He may have just grabbed the wrong one by accident. I cant tell you how many times my husband has forgotten to get me soy milk on a starbucks run even though i hate the taste of regular milk lol.

    I get off my *kitten* and get myself the right one.

    Or I say, "thank you"

    Or if I just can't keep it to myself I say,

    "Thanks for stopping at the market for me. Actually, this is a caramel egg. It's not a big deal, I still really appreciate you trying. I just wanted to let you know for next time."

    Chocolate and caramel...baby it's just meant to be. When it's right it's right and you can't fight these things. They go together in ways that tease and satisfy. So smooth, so creamy, dancing and swirling together in your mouth until your eyes start to roll back a little bit.

    It is a little known fact, but guys screw things up like this all the time.... so you will stop asking us to do things.

    I hate doing the laundry, so I just mangled some of my girlfriends stuff in the washing machine and now I never have to do it.

    Victory!

    I kinda feel like certain people are missing the fact that he asked if I wanted anything from the store :3
    It isn't like I called him demanding he go on a quest to get me cadbury eggs.

    CARAMEL CREME EGG?!?!

    Thats just wrong and can only be explained by his complete lack of love and respect for you. It was probably the one left over from his other girlfriend.

    Walk to the store then you can have 2 creme eggs. Trade your caramel and buy another one for the calorie burn, and inconvienience... :P

    Bwaahahaha! too funny!

    My response: Thank him for it... save it in the fridge "til later" and have it become your emergency chocolate in the house...
    Next time he asks and you have 200 calories to spare, specify: The Cadbury Creme Egg - the original blue/yellow one with the white and yellow sugar goo on the inside - not the caramel kind.

    I can relate to this entirely: I mentioned to my BF a few weeks ago (he's still in training) that for me, it's very important to get flowers on valentine's day - they don't have to be expensive, it can be a bunch of daffodils for $2.50 from trader joes, but that it makes my valentine's day to get them and that i feel sad if i don't. What's he show up with? Chocolates. -_- What part of "F-L-O-W-E-R-S" didn't you understand, and did the thought that i've been being very strict on my diet and that these might not fit into them enter your head? <--is what i said on the inside. BUT i reminded myself that it was the thought that counts, reminded myself that i'm lucky to have a boyfriend who gives me gifts of any sort, and was able to graciously thank him sincerely (if a few moments delayed). NEXT year.... i will be more specific with my not-so-"hint-like"-hint. "Flowers, not candy, not balloons, just flowers." LOL

    I would tell my husband that he got the wrong thing, but that it was my fault for not being specific.

    Then, I'd decide how important it was to have the creme egg. If I really, really, wanted it, I'd give him the caramel one and pick up a creme egg the next time I was out. If not, I'd eat the caramel one.

    Wow....three pages over a piece of chocolate ( not even really good chocolate ...lol ) !
    I wish I lived in a 1st World country and could share those problems......:o).
    Now back to filling the bath tub, pots and buckets with water, because due to a chronic water shortage my part of the town will have the water turned off this pm until late Sunday night, so another part of the city can have water.

    I'm not missing that.

    The last sentence in my post implies that. Let me change it to:

    I [would still] get off my *kitten* and get myself the right one.

    Or I say, "thank you"

    Or if I just can't keep it to myself I say,

    "Thanks for thinking of me when you were at the store. Actually, this is a caramel egg. It's not a big deal, I still really appreciate you trying. I just wanted to let you know for next time."

    Well it's not really about the chocolate.
    It's about the situation, where someone has specially gotten you food that you don't really want, and it will take up calories you could use in other ways.
    Do you grief every thread about this kind of problem?

    I like the original, but the original MINI size is the best. It's so hard to eat the freaking large eggs. I love caramel but in that egg it is just too much.

    I've been married for 16 years. Here is what I would do...

    Say thank you and tell him how awesome he is.

    make a comment about the color of the wrapper must have changed. Notice that it says caramel outloud and act like you haven't tried that. Make sure you comment about the colors of the original ones that you adored as a child. because, be honest...did you tell him what egg colors to look for?? I wouldn't have. but my husband knows I love the regular minis.

    take a bite of the small end.

    pull out a sandwich baggie to place the remainder in (if you aren't going to eat it) and then enjoy it in small bites for a day or 2. or toss it when you are home alone.

    Most of it was joking around.

    A sense of humor might help you feel better about your situation, though.

    Eat it.

    Get the one you really want yourself. Be nice and explain to the man that you like the traditional ones the best and thank him for his efforts.

    Maybe he'll be nice to YOU later! :bigsmile:

    Funny how someone can complain about their 3rd world struggles, yet manage to be a chocolate snob within two adjoining sentences. :P
