How Cadbury's make Easter Eggs (40 million every year!)

[luna_argentea]

"Easter is one of the most popular times of year for chocolate-makers and it has been revealed that despite the current economic downturn, confectionery sales in 2009 have continued to rise, with predictions of record sales this Easter.

"Tony Bilsborough shows the BBC how they make the eggs at the Cadbury's factory in Bournville, Birmingham."

Woah, those robots are swift! Also interesting that the foil is designed to heighten the pleasure of eating the chocolate. I'm afraid I've never paid much attention to the foil, before this very moment. (Hey, chocolate is serious business! It requires 100% of my attention to be focused on the chocolate moving directly into my mouth.) ;D

Yes, they're really fast, aren't they? I always enjoyed unwrapping the foil from the egg as a child but it wouldn't have occurred to me that Cadbury's think it's part of the excitement too! :)
