It seems that there are a variety of ways to eat the little creamy treat.

From eating it all in one go to dunking other snacks into the sugary yoke - but neither of these are the 'right' way to indulge.

A systems' maintenance engineer on Cadbury's production line has revealed the correct way to enjoy the egg.

He told : "Who are these people out there eating them whole? You're asking for death by Creme Egg."

He added: "You have to bite the top off, eat out the centre and then eat the shell on its own, obviously."

The engineer, Shaheed Khattack, also revealed that the Creme Egg production takes up two floors of the factor in Bournville.

It's no surprise, considering the frenzy they cause in the run-up to Easter.

Shaheed also managed to drop a secret about the white and yellow filling of the egg.

Despite fans of the egg insisting that the yellow and white tastes different to one and another, Shaheed says different.

He claimed: "Some people think the white and yellow taste different, they don't, it's just psychological."
