-Re: Intellectual curiosity -- No. The white stuff on bird poop is eurine.
+Packaging colours, filling colour, and title-text indicate that it's about the cream eggs, not caramel. Is it more common in America to call them Cadbury eggs and not cream eggs? Seems weird to this Brit, Cadbury's is the brand, they do more than just eggs, and we typically say Cadbury's with the possessive apostrophe-s. Also of note is the year-round thing. Cream eggs are sold year-round, but are stocked in higher quantities over Easter (and green-yolked ones for Halloween), but their advertising campaign here tends to suggest that they are available exclusively in those two seasons (worse, Halloween is actually very rare to see in televised advertising, as by then the larger shops are decorated for Christmas. I don't recall ever seeing Halloween egg adverts, somebody scour YouTube?)[[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.130|141.101.99.130]] 01:56, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

 Unfortunately, unlike in Britain, the cream eggs are all that can be found in the US from Cadbury. So naturally they became "the" Cadbury product. Some import stores have chocolate bars, but they're hard to find. And in either case they're actually manufactured by Hershey under license (although they're still better than normal Hershey chocolate). And for the most part, while they can easily be found here year-round, in Easter most stores will put them by the registers and in general this is the only time they're really brought to social awareness. Also, I've found that, at least in American English, whether we use the possessive for brand names is entirely dependent on the brand (and rather random in my opinion), but both tend to sound right.

 :A bit late, but… a few years ago, the UK branding changed from "Cadbury's Creme Egg" to "Cadbury Creme Egg". Virtually nobody noticed. And somehow I feel the compulsion to point out the common misspelling. There were also some displays in discount shops that had "Cadbury Eggs"; possibly manufacturing overrun for international markets or something. I think most people would know what you mean, because their other egg-shaped products (with the exception of easter eggs) are branded as "Caramel Egg" or similar without the big Cadbury logo. - [[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.94|141.101.98.94]] 14:16, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
