Subject: Cadbury's Creme Egg Conundrum

Never mind the corporations' reducing of Wagon Wheel dimensions. What about the desperate calamity surrounding the Cadbury's Creme Egg! The size of the aforementioned fondant-centred chocolate treat has over time become closer to the size of its chocolate egg-shaped second cousin, the Mini Easter Egg.

A Creme Egg used to weightily fill my hand, giving a satisfyingly chunky feel. Now I can push two around my palm like Chinese stress balls. I'm sure the reason for this is not because the doctor miscalculated the hormone treatments I had to take at the age of fifteen, resulting in over-accelerated growth, culminating in enormous hands.
