Default Creme Eggs on the shelves earlier than ever

Popped into the news agents for a paper and lo and behold, we have Creme Eggs, Mini Eggs, Mini Creme Eggs, Caramel Bunnies all on a big display.

I know they usually hit the shelves on the 26th but lets get Crimbo out of the way first FFS

Saw an advert for Cream Eggs a few weeks ago.

The slogan was something like `Buy them now to avoid dissapointment`

WTF?

Lol as above, all on sale all year around, occasionally on promotional plinths.
No one understands festive seasons these days so you could sell chocolate santa's at Easter and people would buy buy buy.

I'd agree you can get creme eggs but not the mini one nor the mini eggs or caramel bunnies.

Jamie do I need a point ? this is NSR !

They are getting smaller too. They used to be the size of an average chicken egg. They're now about the size of a ********. Soon they will be peanut sized
