One Million Moms boycotts Cadbury Creme Eggs for 'pushing homosexuality'

[Coventina]

The Cadbury’s Creme Egg advert upset all the right people when it was released in early January because of its inclusion of a gay couple.

***snip***


Needless to say, religious lobbying group One Million Moms are not impressed with the advert. They hit out at the UK campaign and urged people to join them in boycotting the delicious treat in a post on their website.

“If you look forward to having your annual Cadbury Creme Egg each Easter season, you might not like how the company celebrates the risen Saviour,” One Million Moms wrote on its website.

The group shared a link so concerned parents can watch the offending advert themselves, but they warned that it is both “graphic and offensive”.

1. Oh for crying out s**t. These people are absolutely nutz.

[bullimiami]

2. So a handful of moms and some slush money becomes a million moms??

[Caliman73]

20. That is why they call it Astro Turf.

Fake "grass" roots.

[TigressDem]

3. Guess I know what treat I AM GOING TO BUY!!

It was a cute commercial..

[hatrack]

4. Oh, you mean Both Moms are boycotting?

[Trenzalore]

5. The number of people attending Sunday services continues to decline each year

Keep up the good work evangelicals.

[GGoss]

6. Raison Saviours ??? - Sounds Delish, Where Can I Get Some ???

[Coventina]

8. I always wondered about that hymn "I serve a Risen Savior"

I guess now I know they were singing about dinner!!

[tanyev]

7. Matthew 28:6 "He is not here, for he has risen, just as he said."

“Come, see the Cadbury Creme Eggs he left where He was lying.”

[Hestia]

63. LMAO!

[tanyev]

67. Honestly, it's amazing there's no version of the Bible with commercial sponsorship yet.

[milestogo]

9. And what does the risen Saviour have to do with Cadbury Creme Eggs in the first place?

[Caliman73]

21. Eggs are a symbol of life...

Likely pagan, from whom Christians stole the Easter mythology, from whom the secular world is stealing Easter to sell products like candy eggs and Peeps.

The "Million Moms" are also just trying to profit from the "culture war" they have been instigating.

[slightlv]

46. Absolutely Caliman!

And I'd yell at them to take their hands off MY holiday. It ain't Easter... it's Eostre! And SHE'S got the Bunny AND the eggs!!!!

[Sky Jewels]

50. Solstice, Eostre ... Christians steal and ruin holidays

and impose their stupid patriarchal mythologies about sky wizards and undead carpenters over things that actually exist, like nature and fertility and the Earth's position relative to the sun.

[dickthegrouch]

49. The Creme eggs are a traditional Easter treat

Exactly when the supposed Saviour was undergoing his public flagellation exhibitionism.

(Which the people complaining don't seem to recognise as a thoroughly sexual act in itself).

[surrealAmerican]

10. Cool - more for me.

Those things sell out fast around here.

[dlk]

11. Better to boycott a candy company than address gun violence in schools, and elsewhere

Republicans only have outrage to offer; nothing resembling meaningful action. Why be logical?

[ForgedCrank]

12. Economic terrorism

only hurts the innocent and uninvolved in the end. It needs to stop.

[gratuitous]

13. More Cadbury Eggs for the rest of us

Thbbbbbbbpppt! Out-foxed yourself, didn't you?

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. They've had it in for Cadbury ever since the company started

encouraging cross-dressing between species.

[slightlv]

47. When I first saw the headline,

I thought they were gonna be blasting about all the trans-animals!

[TheBlackAdder]

15. All seven of them. Well, they're 7 times larger than The Catholic League.

[Scrivener7]

23. Yep. Exactly. Seems like hypocrisy and being bad at counting have a high rate

of correlation. Interesting....

[Talitha]

16. TBH I've never had one - and I'm 70!

But you betcha I'll get a few next time I'm out.

[hippywife]

22. You might want to start with just one first...

and see how you like it. I hadn't had one in decades and last week my husband got a 12 pack of the baby ones. I popped one in my mouth and it all came back to me - why I hadn't had one in so long.

[Talitha]

64. Haha, thanks for the advice/warning!

If it turns out to be icky tasting, I'm sure the Coyotes will be happy to get whatever's left.

Thanks again!

[BannonsLiver]

68. I know some people think it's hip to be the contrarian

But you don’t know what good is if you don’t like Cadbury’s. Maybe elderberry hard candy is more your speed. 😉

[hippywife]

69. Oh, FFS!

Is it really necessary for you to insult people who don't like the same things you do? I'm a long waaaaaay past carrying about being "hip".

[BannonsLiver]

70. Says the one acts as though they're too good for cadburys

[hippywife]

71. They taste like shit TO ME.

I'm allowed to not like something and don't need you to be insulting because of it. I advise anyone to try something first before buying more of it!

Ignore.

[MagickMuffin]

17. Oh my goshes, wwjd? He would embrace them

After all Jesus did hang out with all men apostles, and he even defended a prostitute by laying waste to those without sin to cast the first stone!


If Jesus did ever return in human form, they would tear him asunder. Hopefully he would smite them before they could act out.

[Goodheart]

18. If there actually was an historical Jesus, which I doubt, he was gay.

So there's that.

[ChazInAz]

38. He was criticized by his "betters" for that sort of thing.

Especially for going to boozy symposia thrown by "the Greeks". One of my college professors, a Rabbi, told me that was a bit of code. It wasn't just a reference to goyim from Greece, but also to Hellenized Jews who also followed certain rather famous aspects of that culture. We'd call them "bi", nowadays.

[iemanja]

19. Do they know that's Hershey?

Are they going to boycott all Hershey products?

[muriel_volestrangler]

31. No, it's competitor Mondelez, owner of things like Oreos

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondelez_International

It was the Kraft snack foods group. They tried to buy Hershey, but failed.

[iemanja]

54. That may be outdated

https://www.businessinsider.com/cadbury-chocolate-different-in-us-vs-uk-evidence-2018-5

The Hershey Company owns the rights to manufacture Cadbury chocolate in the US.

[IronLionZion]

57. Mondelez made the UK gay commercial, Hershey makes the American Cadbury eggs

most conservatives are too stupid to know the difference.

[iemanja]

59. So the minieggs and creme eggs are different companies

interesting.

[muriel_volestrangler]

66. Cadburys makes both mini eggs and creme eggs in the UK; Hersheys makes them both in the USA

https://www.cadbury.co.uk/products/cadbury-mini-eggs-11466
https://www.cadbury.co.uk/products/cadbury-creme-egg-11467
Hersheys website is mostly broken at the moment, but they have "Cadbury Mini Eggs" and "Cadbury Creme Eggs" listed there:

[Hortensis]

24. :) Just added some to this week's online shopping list. nt

[ZonkerHarris]

25. Let's sue One Million Mom's for false advertising because I don't think they have a million

[Wounded Bear]

26. I'm sure that Cadbury's will miss all 7 eggs they can't sell to them...

[Gore1FL]

27. I'd Buycott, but I'm pretty sure my blood sugar couldn't take it. nt

[TNNurse]

28. This leaves more for the rest of us.

[onecaliberal]

29. Get a fucking job or something useful to do for society. Instead of demonstrating how vile and

Useless you are.

[markodochartaigh]

30. If your celebration of Our Risen Savior

is centered around buying expensive clothes to wear to church, hiding candy eggs for your children to find, and concerning yourself with the motes in other people's eyes; you must be a follower of supply side jesus.

[GoCubsGo]

32. Those crackpots have their knickers in a wad over an ad that isn't even being shown here?

SMGDH.

Not only am I going to have my annual Cadbury egg, I am going to buy a caramel one and a bag of the minis.

[mgardener]

33. Good.

More for me!

[PXR-5]

34. Cancelled!

I thought conservatives didn't cancel things?

[judesedit]

35. I'll be sure to buy a bunch when I go to the store tomorrow

Thanks for info

[hadEnuf]

36. Is this the same bunch that thinks M&M's are homosexual?

Gee, who would have ever guessed that candy had an actual sexual orientation?

[Botany]

37. A million moms is really 3 to 5 men in some red area who have internet "stuff," with time ...

on their hands, and are mostly likely sans women.

BTW gays spend a lot of money on candy.

[Traildogbob]

45. They live

In moms basement and use her internet.

[IcyPeas]

39. Okay so the creme dripping out....

Is that the cause of their pearl clutching?

[madinmaryland]

40. The fucking one million Porta-Potties never stop. Fuck them.

[Initech]

44. We've seriously got to stop feeding these trolls.

So what if they get outraged? They only do this to get air time. We should just tell them where they can shove their outrage and move on. Don't give them any airtime to spew their bile and hatred. I think the Dems should adopt that strategy!

[TygrBright]

41. Oh, gosh, there went my determination not to indulge in Cadbury Creme Eggs this spring.... n/t

[lees1975]

42. Ah, they are my favorites, but I quit eating them because of the sugar.

But I'll go buy enough this year to give to my neighbors in the building. They'll appreciate it and it will be a gesture of good will.

[Initech]

43. Eh... fuck these morons.

I'm guessing One Million Moms is more like 17 white guys with 1,000 social media accounts.

[AllaN01Bear]

48. CANCEL CULTURE.!!!!!!!

[dflprincess]

51. If my mom were alive she'd be glad to hear this

because it would mean more Cadbury eggs for her.

She could never get enough of those things.

[nakocal]

52. Not a single Christian amongst the

"million moms"

[IronLionZion]

53. It came out in the UK 2 years ago

these million moms are idiots. Oh well, maybe lower prices for the rest of us

Cadbury - It's the Creme Egg Golden Goobilee (Mondelēz UK, 2021)

[bucolic_frolic]

55. be buying them this week

[SunSeeker]

56. Damn. Now I'm gonna HAVE TO eat a shit load of Cadbury eggs for Easter.

I love a challenge.

[TeamProg]

58. Chocolate tastes WAAAAAY BETTER than WINGNUTS.... nt

[DemocraticPatriot]

60. Happy Easter, homophobes....

Maybe all those supposed "christians" should take into account that the "Easter Holiday" actually honors a pagan god of fertility,
and not the "savior" who supposedly arose from the dead after three days,
except from Friday to Sunday is only TWO days

(I guess christians cannot count, among their many other faults...)

[AZLD4Candidate]

61. They are waaay too sweet for me plus I am diabetic

But this is damned crazy. This neo-bigotry/xenophobia is pathetic.

[Ford_Prefect]

62. I don't think Jesus said anything against loving your fellow man, or woman.

Cadbury's treat is appreciated by many who do not celebrate Christian Easter. AFAIK the chocolate eggs are an Easter BUNNY thing and not related to Christian celebrations of any sort.

Million Moms get a grip! Your theocracy knows no bounds nor much theology.

[Maeve]

65. Damn. I was skipping Easter chocolate for health reasons but now.......

[Ms. Toad]

72. It was actually two years ago!

Might be why it feels like you missed it.

(But always good to revisit good news!)
