Easter eggs

[Bigg Bigg Blue]

I was in Morrisons Duki on boxing day and saw them setting them up, mate.

Be a long while before I buy any

Cadbury's crème eggs are now 85p!

I can remember when they were 5p.

I was walking on the canal and even Mother Nature is at it, with crocuses are starting to pop up ? Springtime flowers are now starting to come up in December

Did you buy 600?

Did you buy 600?

Yes. The year after I’d bought 500.

I’d grown up a lot!

I wish I could upload the advert!

Do you remember the kid asking for 600 crème eggs?

Went back the year after and asked for 6000

Yes, I misremembering it.

I was thinking he asked for 500 the first year, then 600 the second.

But, as you rightly pointed out, it was 600 and 6000.

Only explanation can be that some people incorporate Easter eggs into their diet on a regular basis from January to March/April. Personally can't stand the things, inferior quality and hugely overpriced for the weight you get, I imagine this coming year more than ever many eggs will not be legitimately able to be described as "chocolate". There probably more coco in the average turd nowadays.

But my biggest annoyance is how it actually devalues the occasion and celebration, regardless of why you celebrate it - religion, tradition or just togetherness. Starting Christmas sales in August just makes it feel less special, and even induces panic for some. Easter eggs in December, hoping to catch people in their pre-return to work pig out phase maybe? Money, money, money, all your problems can be solved by buying crap and consuming crap, if you still feel bad then you obviously didn't buy enough.

And don't even get me started on creme eggs. How do I eat mine? I'd rather starve than attempt one of those nausea-inducing, sugar-spunk filled vomit snacks.

Why is it the same chocolate always tastes better as an egg rather than a block.
