The Cadbury Creme Egg, a milk chocolate egg filled with a creamy white-and-yellow
fondant that is meant to mimic a real chicken egg, is a polarizing Easter candy. Some
might say it’s cloyingly sweet. This seasonal treat has become a signifier of spring, in
From Drinking Chocolate to Crème Eggs
part because eggs traditionally symbolize renewal and rebirth.
Regardless of how you feel about this confection, you can’t deny its prominence from
coast to coast come Easter time. The story of how the Cadbury Creme Egg came to be
so popular starts back in the 19th century, in a small store in Birmingham, England. A man wanted
to make better drinking chocolate, and ended up starting something that would be much bigger.
In 1824 John Cadbury opened up a shop in Birmingham, England, where he sold a variety of drinks
including tea, coffee, and drinking chocolate. Cadbury gained some success with his shop and opened
up a chocolate and cocoa factory in 1831 with his brother in order to produce more drinking chocolate.
In 1847 Joseph Fry, a competitor of Cadbury’s, began experimenting with making moldable chocolate
bars. This sparked Cadbury’s experimentation in moldable chocolate, and in 1875 Cadbury created
the first chocolate egg filled with sugary treats.
By 1919 Cadbury and Fry had merged their companies, and in 1923 they created the very first
chocolate eggs filled with cream. The Cadbury Creme Eggs we know and love today, however, weren’t
invented until 1963 under the name “Fry’s Creme Eggs.” The name changed to “Cadbury Creme
Eggs” in 1971. In 1985, Cadbury launched a successful ad campaign, “How do you eat yours?” and
the eggs have only achieved more fame as a result.
The Cadbury Creme Eggs are produced by many companies around the world — Hershey having the
market rights in the United States. It is rumored that they taste different from country to country,
and that the candy eggs are sweeter in England because they use cream to make their milk chocolate,
versus powdered milk in the U.S.
Carlton As an older adult, regular physical activity is one of the most
Fremont important things you can do for your health. It can prevent many
of the health problems that seem to come with age. It also helps
your muscles grow stronger so you can keep doing your day-to-day
activities without becoming as dependent on others. Your health
benefits will also increase with the more physical activity that you
do, even if you’re only able to exercise a few times a week.
The CDC’s recommendation for adults 65 and older is at least 150 minutes of moderate
intensity aerobic activity a week such as brisk walking. Additionally, it recommends at least
2 days a week of activities that strengthen muscles and improve balance. Older adults with
chronic conditions should consult their doctor before beginning an exercise program.
Older adults should move more and sit less throughout the day. Keep in mind, some physical
activity is better than none. Older adults who sit less and do any amount of moderate-to-
vigorous intensity physical activity gain some health benefits. Your health benefits will also
increase with the more physical activity that you do. Learn more about how to measure your
physical fitness level: www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/basics/measuring

When I’m sitting at dinner, I always like to mention Dakim BrainFitness is
some fact that I’ve learned from Dakim. available to use on your
computer or tablet!
I’ve recommended it to everybody that I’ve met here
at Carton Concord. I say, ‘You really should try Dakim.
It’s a lot of fun and doesn’t cost anything…I always
recommend that people try Dakim to see how they like it.’ Depending on
the questions and the categories, it takes about 15 to 20-25 minutes. I’m
very, very fond of Dakim. It keeps my brain sharp.”

will: Researchers at Rhode Island Hospital have
found a substantial link between increased
levels of nitrates (the kind found in bacon) and
increased mortality from diseases including
Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. So put down that
greasy strip of bacon and start eating foods high in antioxidants instead.
Now, we’ve all heard that foods like blueberries and salmon are good
sources, but there are plenty of other foods that aren’t getting the press
they deserve. Here’s a list of the 20 best foods high in antioxidants:
