Actor B.J. Novak from The Office appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien bearing proof that Cadbury eggs have recently shrunk. In tow were two Cadbury eggs; the egg from yesteryear was clearly larger than the egg currently on shelves.
An Easter Rip Off of Eastoricol Proportions. I have uncovered the truth about why I can't seem to get enough Cadbury eggs. Because there is not as much egg!!!
According to Wikipedia they have shrunk by 12.3% A package of four eggs weighed 155 grams in 2005, but only weighs 136 grams this year.
That's right. We are being swindled! We have egg on our faces.(Well if you are really messy...or a toddler)
What will the egg look like in 2010? An M&M? I am truly shocked and awed...
The conspiracy goes to the Cadbury Faq on their website as well. Here is what they say:
Why has the size of the egg changed?
It hasn't - you've just grown up!
Lies...
First of all...No I haven't...Secondly I have proof...
This video is the smoking gun...
I called Cadbury but the peeps there just laughed maniacally and told me to enjoy it while I can, cuz I'm about to grow up more next year...
