    They’re no longer gooey here. They were gooey in the 90ies and early 2000 but at some point the recipe changed now they’re grainy and dry.

      I miss when they were gooey. I got a white chocolate one from the UK this year, and it was kinda gooey. But not what it was like in the 90s.

      The chocolate also got worse. I used to get excited about these this time of year… now they don’t even make me feel nostalgic - everything about them has enshittified to the point of nonrecognition.

      They also are one of the worst shrinkflation examples ever. Get those tiny eggs outta here.

      It also makes no sense to shrink them if you think about it. Square-cube law means they’re packaging way more milk chocolate per sale, which is almost certainly the most expensive ingredient.

      I’m sure it boils down to “so you’re saying we can save a few money by simply changing the fundamental characteristic of our product?”
