It&#8217;s is blatantly obvious that the newer egg is smaller. This isn&#8217;t one of those mini-Cadbury eggs, but a full size one. Conan shows the difference here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/misc\/cadbury_egg_size_difference.jpg.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/12729-2\/cadbury_egg_size_difference.jpg\" alt=\"conan o'brien shows size difference of cadbury eggs\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that the site says the eggs only look smaller because you&#8217;ve gotten bigger, that fact sheet has been around since 2003 or earlier.
