Tesco selling Easter Eggs 03/01/11

allanb49 · 03-01-2011 1:36pm #1

So was in Tesco earlier and saw a nice fresh stock of well i hope is nice and fresh and not last years stock on sale of Cadburys and Nestle Easter Eggs.

Now last time i checked Easter is in April 4 months away, i know the whole thing about decorations for Christmas going up before halloween is a running joke now but i though Easter was sacred, With the Zombie Jesus and all.

This is before all the valentines day shíte too. :eek:

i think i saw the cadbury's creme egg ad on tv also but haven;t spotted any easter eggs on sale just yet. it's a bit early me thinks!
even when cadbury re-hashed the creme egg in halloween to the screme (scream) egg, with the green filling, even they were out on the shelves way too early for halloween

April is 3 months away...*applauses*

seriously as a child I always wondered how he grew so big so fast,and when exactly did he squeeze in those forty days and nights in the desert in such a short time too?
and was it during the 40 days and nights that he grew his beard?
he sure did a lot in four months our Jesus,some man so he was...

If you don't watch the calories, you'll won't be able to get through the front door to buy any.:eek:

kfallon · 03-01-2011 2:14pm

Wouldn't you be better off looking round for shops selling off selection boxes on the cheap rather than buying full whack Easter eggs?

I know you jest, but historically the DOB of the character named Jesus was actually later in the year, not the 25th and possibly around May or November as one pope nominated it - so celebration of his death comes before his actual real date of his birth in same year!

Its all very confused and debatable.

Am I the only person that goes in and buys for some for myself a week later when they're a lot cheaper?

that's disgusting,I mean when they deliver them in January and they sit on the shelf unrefrigerated for three four months they're grand,but a week after,sure they'ed only be manky by then!

So, it is acceptable to sell Easter Eggs now?

Are they still advertised as Easter Eggs? Or is it Winter Eggs?

03-01-2011 2:28pm

Does this mean they're selling Cadbury Creme Eggs? Oh hell yeah!

No idea.
Capitalism recognises no boundary dates for selling chocolate!

Cardbury always ****ed up by never bringing out a FILLED easter egg version of the creme egg with the stuff from the creme eggs inside!

I always wanted a gooey egg the size of my head,i suppose it should be supplied with some form of long handled spoon to eat it too...

the only way you're going to get it done, cadbury's won't want 50 million lawsuits on their hands afterwards.

Op are they selling Creme eggs or Easter eggs?

Cadburys Creme egg is not part of Cadburys Easter lines, They are a seasonal line but one that fills the gap between Christmas and Easter.

I know JCS in Swords gets his Easter Eggs on the Shelves Christmas eve but didn't think Tesco would, thought they might utilise their space better before the Easter period.
