It\u2019s Easter<\/a> weekend, which means an abundance of chocolate<\/a> is going to be consumed over the next few days, and a lot of it will probably be Cadbury’s.<\/a><\/p>\n

From Mini Eggs<\/a> to Creme Eggs<\/a>, the famous brand has a whole host of tasty seasonal treats<\/a> on supermarket<\/a> shelves at this time of year.<\/p>\n

But if you\u2019ve been on social media<\/a> lately, you might have seen some fans claiming that Cadbury has made a major \u2018change\u2019 to its Easter eggs<\/a> this year \u2014 specifically to the packaging.<\/p>\n

A number of chocolate lovers have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to share their outrage over Cadbury supposedly removing the word \u2018Easter\u2019 from Easter egg boxes. <\/p>\n

But, before you gasp in horror, this actually isn\u2019t the case.<\/p>\n

Numerous posts have been shared on X with pictures of supermarket shelves lined with Cadbury Easter eggs. These are captioned with questions such as this one from Tim Davies, asking: \u2018Can anyone see the word EASTER on these EASTER eggs? Am I going blind ffs??!!\u2019 <\/p>\n

Similarly, @OJR_RSLI_Rtired said: \u2018Why have you not got Easter on your eggs? It’s Easter!!\u2019 And Gemma Hull wrote: \u2018@CadburyUK is it true you have removed the word Easter from all your eggs?\u2019<\/p>\n

But, if you take a closer look at the images, you\u2019ll be able to see where people have gone wrong. <\/p>\n

All of the snaps show only the front of the Easter egg boxes, and it’s true that most of them don\u2019t mention Easter there specifically.<\/p>\n

However, if they were to look at the top of the boxes, they\u2019d see that the packaging is clearly printed with the message: \u2018Happy Easter\u2019.<\/p>\n

The official Cadbury UK account on X reassured Brits that that they’ve been using the word \u2018Easter\u2019 for the last 100 years and intend to keep on doing so.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson said: \u2018Rest assured that all Cadbury Easter Eggs sold in the UK reference Easter very clearly on the packaging.<\/p>\n

\u2018Cadbury has used the word Easter in our marketing and communications for over 100 years and we continue to do so across our Easter product range.\u2019<\/p>\n

So there you have it, no need to freak out folks. <\/p>\n

That said, some chocolate fans won’t be happy about another bit of news that was shared this week, as it was revealed the dark chocolate Toblerone bar has been discontinued.<\/a> <\/p>\n
