The ‘NOSTALGIC’ Cadbury Dairy Milk Egg ‘n’ Spoon cartons were discontinued last year before Easter, but some fans are just finding out now.
Produced over a decade ago, Egg ‘n’ Spoons consisted of four chocolate eggs in a carton filled with vanilla or chocolate mousse and even a special Oreo variety.

But Cadbury, owned by Mondelez, confirmed last year that the egg cartons which contained their own spoon “have been discontinued to reflect our fans’ changing taste buds.”
In the build up to Easter egg season this year, Cadbury is still having to break the news to outraged fans on X, formerly Twitter.
Cadbury reconfirmed that the nostalgic Easter treat had been axed, when one mother wrote of her son’s heartbreak.
She said: “My son is very nostalgic of the egg ‘n’ spoon chocolate eggs. As it is Easter, he wanted me to buy some. I have just found out that it is discontinued! Why? He says he is heartbroken. Kids taste buds do not change! A real shame!”

Fans have called Cadbury’s discontinuation of Egg ‘n’ Spoon chocolate eggs a “crime”, on X (formerly Twitter).
One user wrote “this is the worst day of my life”, with another stating, “missing egg n spoon intensely right now hope Cadbury knows what it has done to me”.
One fan added: “My villain origin story will be the fact that Cadbury has discontinued their egg n’ spoons”
