My obsession with Cadbury cream eggs has reached the point where I have found myself resentful of other Easter candy. No, not just resentful of knockoffs of Cadbury Eggs; it would make sense that I would look down my nose upon those nasty Snicker's Eggs or Dove Eggs that attempt to knock off the Cadbury design. No, I'm resentful of totally unrelated Easter candy.
Last night, my roommate offered me something called a Robin Egg. I've never had one before, but politely refused. However, in my head, I'm thinking, "Get that shit away from me. Why isn't it a Cadbury egg? What's wrong with you, buying that shit when you probably passed over a Cadbury Egg minipack to get to them?"
Now, today, the roommate was away, and I was making my lunch upstairs, when, lo and behold, the bag of robin eggs lay near the microwave. It was open. I decided to try one. And another. And another. And, you know what? They're not half bad. They taste sort of like Whoppers, but they're better somehow, and I like how they're differently sized.
This has been my only non-Cadbury candy all season, and I was surprised that I liked it. No, it's not a Cadbury Cream egg - nothing is - but it was definitely tasty. Maybe I shouldn't resent other Easter candy.
Those stale marshmallowy Peeps are still some nasty shit, though.

I am ALL ABOUT the Robin Eggs. And jellybeans, but they have to be Starburst brand jelly beans. Anything else is just a ball of sugar.
The Robin Eggs are basically malted milk balls (yeah, Whoppers, like you said) with a candy shell on them.
You've probably seen this site:
http://www.peepresearch.org
but I say the peeps get what's coming to them. Nasty-ass little things.
peeps ARE gross. i hear you on that one.
cadbury creme eggs... superior to all other candy.
Mary Sue Easter Eggs... The peanut butter are the best.
All this talk about Cadbury Creme Eggs is making me go to the store and and try them.
Peeps are good for a sugar high. I like them when they are just getting a crust on the outside.
Just to let you know, I did go to the store and bought the Cadbury Creme Eggs. Wow, they are some kind of rich, but good.
Make sure you check this out: Cadbury Egg Cake. I'm not a fan of Cadbury Creme Eggs, but found this highly amusing.
Robin Eggs are made by cadbury, if I'm not mistaken!
Double Dogged: They don't taste as rich after you eat 30 of them, don't worry.
Ayesha: That is funny! So is that peepresearch site, Claude.
Anon: Then it makes sense of why they are so good!
The main difference as I see it:
Robins Eggs can be eaten all day.
Cadbury Eggs are too expensive and rich to each more than a few in each sitting.
