How dare they?! Leave our Eggs alone USA!!!

Name one publicly traded company that hasn't destroyed its product in order to cut costs. It's inevitable at some point - they all do it.

Shareholders got to make money at all costs... It's all about the short term returns, baby. Floating your company is like deliberately giving it cancer. Eventually it gets sick and dies :p
 
The ease with which traders can buy and sell shares means the fate of companies can be determined by people with no stake in their long-term success. Roger Carr, the chairman of Cadbury, a British food firm bought by Kraft after a bloody takeover battle, noted that "individuals controlling shares which they had owned for only a few days or weeks determined the destiny of a company that had been built over almost 200 years."

It seems not everyone in Cadbury wanted to sell to Kraft, but shareholders had the power to force it through...

No, no, no. You've got it all wrong we like to get together and enjoy different meats, that's totally different and not at all like manlove.

Anyway back to Creme eggs, it was bad enough when I read about them getting rid of the 6 packs now they've just totally ruined my easter and by easter I mean first 4 months of the year.
 
I think the creme eggs are too big. You bite in and the fondant sugar syrup whatever is just too overpowering.

The little creme egg "bitesize" ones you get in tubs of celebrations are nice though.
 
Probably changing the recipe to load em up full of fructose/glucose syrup, which seems to be the current trend with anything sweet.

The Yank market prefers the stuff over raw cane sugar, in fact so much so they've made raw cane sugar so expensive and heavily discounted HFCS/GS so manufacturers have little choice. Source.
