Yahoo News Cadbury sparks outrage after claiming that 'Creme Egg' is pronounced 'crem'
Cadbury has sparked outrage over the pronunciation of its beloved Easter product- the Creme Egg.
The confusion began when one sweet-toothed fan tweeted the confectionery giant asking the correct way to pronounce Creme Egg.
Shawna Leigh wrote: “Are you meant to pronounce creme egg as cream or crem?”
In a now deleted tweet, Cadbury replied that it was “pronounced as crem”.
Twitter users were quick to comment on the controversial ruling.
