Domino's Pizza and Cadbury have been blasted by a former health minister after they teamed up to make a Domino's cookie that contains a whole Creme Egg.

Conservative Lord Bethell of Romford posted scathing tweets about the controversial cookie, which Domino's announced for the first time on Thursday.

"This is disgusting," said Lord Bethell.

"These are serious corporate food companies. What are they thinking," he continued.

"The executive team, the board and the shareholders should be ashamed of themselves."

In his second tweet, he reiterated that the team behind the controversial cookie, which are available in Domino's stores from Monday, should be "ashamed" and added they should use their talents to find less "egregious" ways to make a return.

Why does this article just comment on the outrage and doesn't discuss why all these individuals are outraged? I take it from context clues that it's because this new cookie has far too many calories in it, but it just seems like lazy reporting to not get a quote that speaks to that.

Given that crème eggs have been trash for a long time now it's more likely that they're offended by the ruining of a Domino's cookie.

Terrible fondent centre, the worst chocolate from a brand name available in the UK.

Because its just an ad for the cookie.
