It'd be pretty shite if a multi-national company stole your winning idea, wouldn't it? Well some lad reckons Cadbury owes him royalties for the Creme Egg. Specifically the latest incarnation... the Oreo Creme Egg.
Way back in January 2015, Englishman Nick Allam tweeted Cadbury, telling them to make an Oreo Creme Egg:
Hey @CadburyUK – make this pic.twitter.com/J1g6aj9esa

They seemed like they loved the idea.... like a lot:
@nickallam Wow, now that's something we haven't tried before! We'll be sure to put that to our product team, see what they say ;)

But um... they didn't exactly credit Nick for his genius idea. Nick told the Bristol Post,
"I was a little surprised to be honest and then a little disappointed because there was no recognition.
"I'm going to put it out there and say I did invent it, so yes, Cadbury have stolen my idea"
He's since retweeted the original pic but as of yet hasn't received any response from the thieves company:
So @CadburyUK, you're welcome... #oreocremeeggs https://t.co/IhkJwb1lUD

Others have tried to use his powers to get discontinued lines back on shelves because the powers that be listen to him:
You heard the lady @CadburyUK 😉 https://t.co/IEKWOu4DMA

Fair play.
It's ridiculous that all the papers are following each other all because of a tweet about an egg 😂
By the way, not annoyed. Happy Sunday! pic.twitter.com/KnKuGqiSUY— Nick Allam (@nickallam) January 15, 2017
