Yesterday, after work, I popped into the supermarket on the way home. I needed to pick up a few things (bananas and vegemite, in fact). On my way back to the checkout, I decided to wander down the chocolate aisle - you know, just in case I had a chocolate emergency.
An they were there. Grinning at me. Mocking me. It’s January! The easter bunny is supposed to be hiding away making easter eggs. But no, the little bugger was sitting on the shelf, surounded by eggs, looking smug.
I am not emotionally prepared for easter yet. Christmas is barely over - I’ve only been back at work for 1 week after the Christmas/New Year break. Easter isn’t for three months. Round here, easter bunnies and eggs melt in January, it’s too hot for them. They can’t survive in the wild. But try telling that to the easter bunny - the evil sod doesn’t care about all the little bunnies and eggs - distributing them willy nilly to go to their deaths three months early, and traumatising innocent shoppers like me.
Were there any Hershey’s Candy Coated Easter Eggs? I love those things, and around this time of the year I start counting down to when they’ll be available–got to get thru Valentine’s Day first, then the Easter candy will be out. You’ve given my hope robinc308, maybe this year the stores around here will lose perspective and put out Valentine and Easter candyat the same time. Oh joy, oh joy, soon I’ll have my candy-coated eggs, yum, yum.
Kallessa - no Hershey’s Candy Coated Easter Eggs, I’m afraid, but then, here in Australia, you don’t see a lot of Hershey’s anything, and what you do see, you have to hunt for.
There were probably cadbury eggs. I didn’t take the time to check - I rushed passed before the easter bunny eyes pierced my soul and turned me into a quivering heap in the middle of the supermarket.
My boss has just asked me to order 10 thousand mini easter eggs for a promotion we are doing. Mmmmmm 10 thousand eggs - wonder how many of those will get out of the office alive.
True, so take the bunnies outside and let them sunbathe for what? Say 5 minutes. Presto-change-o–no more bunnies. Just an ameoba-shaped puddle of chocolate—and it’s always the season for ameoba-shaped chocolate puddles!
you guys with the mini- and/or creme-egg obsessions really ought to come visit us here in the land of the mighty, where cadbury’s is based… here, shops sell both these treats all year round
