Is this a real image of Cadbury 'Eid Egg'? We cracked open the claim

In February 2026, as the Lunar New Year coincided with the Islamic holiday of Ramadan and the Christian period of Lent that precedes Easter, an image (archived) circulated online that claimed to show that Cadbury, the British chocolate company, was selling a sort of religious fusion product called the "Eid Egg."

"Eid" appeared to refer to the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan (the word also features in the name of Eid al-Adha, a separate holiday honoring the Prophet Ibrahim's devotion to Allah). The egg also appeared to be a nod to chocolate Easter eggs, typically given and received around the Christian holiday.

One X user who posted the image wrote, "ASDA in Stoke. This is the last straw"

The image also circulated on Facebook (archived). 

At the time of this writing, we found no evidence that Cadbury actually sold the alleged product. The X profile that claimed to have seen the egg in a store in the U.K. included the line "Semper parodius!" in its description, which appeared to be mock Latin for "Always Parody." The account itself appeared to acknowledge in one comment exchange (archived, archived) that the image was generated using artificial intelligence. 

Therefore, we found that the image of the "Eid Egg" originated as satire.

Searches of Cadbury's U.K. website (archived) did not return results for an "Eid Egg." We contacted the company to confirm it did not sell the alleged product in 2026 and await a reply.

Online AI detectors SightEngine and Hive Moderation both found a high likelihood that someone generated the image using AI. (Such detectors are not always fully reliable).

The image itself also showed signs of AI. The man on the front had a misshapen left hand or possibly two thumbs. Additionally, the Cadbury logo in the image was incorrect — the real chocolatier fully joins the "d" and "b" in the company name with a horizontal swoop, as seen on its website.

For further reading, Snopes previously investigated where Easter fixtures like the Easter bunny and egg hunts came from. It's also not the first time we've fact-checked claims relating to Cadbury, which has been accused of removing the word "Easter" from its seasonal chocolatey treats since at least 2016.
