LordSutch

Because the market for Easter eggs is a defined size and Tesco want as much as possible of it.

It makes sense if you think about it.

Xmas is over and Easter is only a few months away, some people like to be prepared well in advance.

Stable enough for me to trust "the wife" to go to Tesco and not come back with Easter eggs

didnt see any in tesco in arklow today but they had mountains of persil all over the gaf

MrJoeSoap

They're just chocolate in a different shape, they should sell them all year round as far as I'm concerned. Same goes for Creme Eggs.

They'd be great with cadbury chocolate rather than that nasty mars/nestle stuff.



On another point anybody who buys nestle or mars eggs for another person is a knacker and should be lynched.

MiseryMary

lol tesco Its SO funny! that they have Easter Eggs out already on the shelves and they have weight watchers diets stuff on another shelves , **** food or healthy eating for the new year? I go for healthy eating.

Creme eggs are only available at Easter!?

Also, I don't mean to sound stupid, but if Easter eggs are being sold now wouldn't they be gone off by Easter? Or does chocolate even go off?

6 months life at least. And sure a few weeks beyond never hurt anyone.

I knew they were hinting at something when I found a Creme Egg in a tin of Roses this year. Gave me something to look forward to.

My friend who works in Tesco had to stay on late Christmas Eve because they were waiting on a order of Easter eggs

They should be pushing pancakes first.

Whatever happened to Galaxy Truffle Eggs? They were the best.

Stereomaniac

My favourites were the Cadbury Dream eggs. I used to buy them in pairs and eat them in secret.

Thank you I now realise that "A yoke is a wooden beam, normally used between a pair of oxen or other animals to enable them to pull together on a load when working in pairs, as oxen usually do; some yokes are fitted to individual animals. There are several types of yoke, used in different cultures, and for different types of oxen"............ however according to slang.ie it is also:

"A word used to name something instead of its proper name

"Pass me that yoke (pass me that hammer)"

So technically I'm right.....without the smiley at the end of the sentence :pac:

the groutch

guaranteed those who are whinging about them being on sale too early are the same people who will come in at 5pm the day before Easter Sunday, and whinge about there being none left as if they were given no chance to buy them before that.

intellectual dosser

Surely this thread belongs in Conspiracy Theories

Yokes is a perfectly acceptable word for *things*, yolks are what's in the middle of an egg....hence my failed attempt at humour.

I'll go now.

I know - I thought you had noticed that I was trying to be funny and had corrected the fact that I had spelled yoke (or yolk!) wrong - dammit!:pac:

meoklmrk91

Speaking of yolks apparently I will have loads of time to scoff them this year. Anyone know what I am talking about, chocolate turtle shell, filled with yellow, gooey stuff. They are amazing!

I think we should just forget any of this ever happened.
I won't tell anyone if you won't.

OP, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your wife was at my place yesterday. Think about it, do you really think there would be Easter eggs on the shelves at Christmas. I can't believe that was the best excuse she could come up with :rolleyes:

As my mother pointed out years ago when people were getting up in arms about Xmas decorations going on sale in September- why would retailers waste highly valuable floorspace on stock that wouldn't sell? The fact is, it does sell. People will piss and moan about the stuff being out early, but they'll still buy it.
