[breezer]

Rule 9 !!!! -- Depends upon the state of your gnashers or lack of and maybe where you live.

Personally, I love 'em.

I recall back in my school days we thought it would be a good idea to get a few of 'em and throw 'em from the highest classroom window some 5 floors up and see who we could make a mess of. Complete waste of time and good chocolate, because the damn things wouldn't break and splatter! (yes, we DID take the wrappers off! )

The Creme Egg Easter Eggs were always disappointing... am I the only one who expected it to be filled with fondant?!

Now, assuming one storey is 3 metres, your 15 metre drop would mean the eggs were going about 17m/s at the ground, or 39mph! Assuming wind resistance was zero, of course

As it happens, I never think I will enjoy a creme egg, but always do. Weird, that.

I used to love them but now find them a bit sweet. Have they gone just slightly smaller over the years, or have I gone bigger.

Oh dear, that is the key sign of middle-age! When things that you liked before are now "too sweet".

I noticed this when I worked behind a bar. If a young chap comes in and says "coke please", they usually want a pint. If a 30/40-something comes in and asks for a coke, you offer them a pint but they usually take a half. If you offer a pint of coke to anyone over 50 they often give you a look of shock and surprise and exclaim "People drink it in PINTS?!"

You have FAR too much time on your hands, man!

Although now you've got me thinking about it, if our only aim was to make a splattery mess on people below, why did we not think to just use ordinary, eggy eggs?

I love 'em, had one yesterday, and I'm approaching middle age as Adam kindly put it

Pint's of coke ? I thought in London they sold it in grams ?

I believe it is called the Westbrook Sniff... when you have no septum in your nose the capacity increases dramatically

I was bored, so I wandered over to the petrol station and got a Creme Egg. 55p. Seems a bit steep, but anyhoo.

Yes, it is smaller than I remember. It also seems to be somewhat shoddily made (the two halves don't seem to quite match

But it is quite delicious! If GM foods mean we can have a chocolate chicken laying Creme Eggs, then yay for scientists playing god!

I wonder just how much sugar content there is in each creme egg?

who cares there an indulgence

who cares there an indulgence

just the odd medical practioner here and there

 

[kendor]

was wondering if there was as much sugar as in a can of coke? would be a handy convienient way for a diabetic of carrying an emergency source of sugar in case of a hypo.
