Cadbury Mini Eggs CHRIST'S REBIRTH
Cadbury Mini Eggs

Last year, one of my friends ate so many of these magic rabbit turds (the little solid chocolate ones with the pastel candy shells) that she vomited. Then she ate some more. After a certain point, the crunchy shells will erode and abrade and slice and dice the inside of your mouth—a trillion tiny lacerations. YET STILL YOU GORGE. Cadbury Mini Eggs are only available for a few months out of the year, and maybe it's that limited supply that makes them so fucking addictively delicious. Whatever. Delicious they are, and eat them YOU MUST. (Everywhere, until Easter) by Lindy West

If it isn't filled with viscous fondant, don't waste my time.

I heard they make a Christmas version of these addictive delights. I haven't seen proof yet.

This needs a poll with three choices: 1. Yes; 2. OMG Yes; and 3. I am allergic to chocolate ;-

Easter has by far the best candy of all candy-producing holidays. But when I was stocking up yesterday, I saw a chocolate cross. Really? This is appropriate? Whatever, Christians.

The time is drawing near when I must buy my annual package of Peeps and gorge myself. A few seconds of bliss, followed by hours of recriminations and self-loathing. A one-shot deal, unlike candy corn.

@8:Oh my god, YES, the chocolate cross! I had to take a picture of it. I mean, was raised Catholic so we had that whole transubstantiation thing in which the host was literally transformed into the actual body of Christ, but even I have to draw the line SOMEWHERE!

6 I read the whole "What to Expect When..." series and there wasn't a single mention of fondant so, I figured as much.

I guess I'm the only one who can't stand these. I find the chocolate in them to be waxy and artificial-tasting. (Although the dark chocolate variety is significantly tastier.)

Man, I love these. Hands down my favourite holiday candy ever. I sure hope I can find them in France.

And this year they rolled out the dark chocolate Mini Eggs, which are the Mini Eggs for MEN*. Not available in small bags yet, so I had to eat a whole big bag of them. It took some time but it was do-able.

*Following the example of Pocky for MEN, which is dark chocolate Pocky.

Call me a snob, call me whatever, I don't give a shit, Cadbury chocolate (an insult to the word "chocolate") is disgusting and repulsive and is the only withered pinky-finger of oppression remaining from Mother England's centuries old stronghold on our land. I can't just stand by and keep my mouth shut, you people are sick, you're minds are poisoned and as soon as you pop a few of sad excuses for candies in your mouth, your bodies will be too.

PS. I hate all of you
PPS. I bet Victory Jackson loves Cadbury Eggs too.

Oh, Lindy, up here in Canadaland, the Mini Eggs are available year-round, but in more modestly-sized packets. The pound and kilo-sized bags are seasonal, which is unfortunate since opening a huge bag of those eggs and just inhaling the sugary off-gassing of those babies is pure bliss.

I find the Hershey's candy-coated eggs are quite good too.

@ 17: Yeh, those eggs suck. Milk chocolate is a highly suspect proposition to begin with, and then Cad Eggs contain greasy, gooshy, cheap, flavorless-even-for-milk chocolate that's only fit for invalids with no teeth and infants having their first solid food where there isn't any rice cereal available Blech.
