I kept saying they looked smaller but people just thought I was insane. I know my cadbury eggs, people. I don't take my favorite candy lightly.

I'm sure they did it either so that their nutrition facts read in a slightly less horrifying way (creme eggs are not good for you at all) or to save money in some manner.
It's actually refreshing to see portion size on anything getting smaller rather than bigger, although I think they cost the same as before, and that is sad. I always preferred the mini ones for good chocolate to filling ratios anyway.
I am familiar with the caramel eggs (don't like them) but the other flavors are new to me.. I doubt anything would be better than the original though.
Also, if you were planning to buy any of that horrific "boys are stupid, throw rocks at them" merchandise, please don't. Apparently Todd Goldman pretty much sucks.
