  • Creme eggs

    I'd rank a Cadbury's creme egg as one of my favourite chocolate snacks - this guy is on another level though: Man who stole 200,000 Cadbury Creme Eggs convicted (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...shire-64640596)

    Some of the more amusing quotes:

    Joby Pool was surrounded by a mountain of the foil-wrapped chocolate when police caught up with him at the weekend.

    Recognising he was foiled too, he surrendered to officers with his hands up, prosecutors said.

    Pool, 32, used a stolen lorry with false plates to snatch a trailer containing the eggs from an industrial unit in Telford on Saturday


    Love this one - he must have been pretty desperate for a choccy fix: Prosecutor Owen Beale said the offence was not "spur of the moment", and there had been "significant planning"​

    West Mercia Police joked they had ‘helped save Easter' after launching a hunt for the snacks

    Obviously a conspiracy. The man didn't act alone. He was egged on.

      This crime was no yolk.
