    The wife came back from a shopping trip to Tesco earlier this evening only to announce the she had seen
    Easter Eggs freshly stacked on the shelves to replace the chocolate Santa's (and its still Christmas) :confused:

    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 :D

    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.

    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.
