I won't be buying any products that cater to Islam.

I won't be buying any cheap chocolate. The good stuff is far too good.

A few questions:
1. Is this guy somehow a spokesman for Cadbury?
2. Is Cadbury somehow forbidden from making non easter themed candy?
3. does Cadbury's website listing "easter and christmas" themed candies in the list of halal items a figment of my imagination?

Also, since when were Cadbury Creme Eggs ever called Cadbury easter eggs?

More outrage over nothing?

They have never been called "Easter Eggs" to my knowledge.

For the answer:

FALSE: Cadbury Has Banned the Word 'Easter'

Look at the entire link I provided. You see packages of products and advertising including the word Easter.

No one said the word Easter was banned.

Look at the OP video before commenting, please.

If the claim is that they "removed the word easter," it would logically require that the following be true:
1. Halal creme eggs used to be routinely labeled as easter eggs (this is what I'm disputing based on never seeing a cadbury creme egg labeled as a cadbury easter egg)
2. Halal creme eggs are now not labeled as easter eggs. (I cited their website that still lists the eggs under their easter seasonal products and the snopes article shows several examples of some products continuing to prominently display "easter")

If you don't like halal don't use kosher.

0:47 "Cadbury claimed in a tweet that they didn't ban the word ... [but] I went over the wording on the package and it's AWOL"
2:06 "easter terminology is verboten on the front of the package"

 

[Open Heart]

It almost sounds like they removed the word Easter when they got Halal certified.

I sent them an angry email.

When did Cadbury ever have "Easter" on Halal certified eggs? Islam doesn't celebrate Easter.
Cadbury makes other chocolate eggs designed for Easter and Christmas and inbetween.


What do bunnies and chocolate eggs have to do with the resurrection of Christ anyway?

They probably removed Easter from the title because they want to open up to a wider audience. If they are Easter eggs then you automatically think they are only for Easter, but if they remove Easter from the title then they are for any time of the year.

So is this a case of time-travelers? Because here's a commercial from 1983:

Looks to me that they've been called Cadbury Creme Eggs since at least 1983.

Here's an advert from 1974.

Turns out before 1971 they were known as Fry's, in '71 Cadbury bought them out and rebranded them as the Cadbury's Creme Egg.

A Fry's Creme Egg from 1963 was discovered, unwrapped, fifty years later and is discussed here:

It would seem these time travelers are pretty good, almost as good as those time-traveling Jesuits who went back into the past to invent Islam according to Jack Chick.

I really didn't find this thread disturbing... until this comment:

I remember the Cadbury Bunny commercial vividly. Which makes me how old???

Uggghhhhhhhhh...
