Producer Chris joins LION Lunch Hour to get everyone’s opinion on Subway’s Cadbury Creme Egg sandwich.
Subway and Cadbury creme egg are hoping to entice customers ahead of Easter with a savory-sweet sandwich reveal, but social media is so far anything but egg-cited about it.
The Submelt consists of toasted Subway Italian bread with Cadbury’s melted milk chocolate and soft fondant sandwiched in between.
Cadbury brand managers call it a "surprisingly delicious" mix, but the internet has other thoughts:
Other reports have called the mashup "unholy," while one blog went a step further with the headline, "Subway and Cadbury team up to ruin creme eggs."

The limited edition sandwich is only available on Good Friday (April 7) at four select Subway stores in the UK. They’re free for those "lucky" enough to snag one, the company said.

The promotion comes as the Connecticut-based restaurant chain explores a sale of the company, though "there is no indication of timing or assurance that a sale will occur." Such a sale would likely be more than $10 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal.
