Waitrose has surprised shoppers by putting 1kg bags of Mini Eggs on sale, sparking a mix of excitement and exasperation. While some eagerly anticipated the early Easter treat, others expressed frustration at the timing, with some calling for a break from Christmas-themed promotions.
The festive season might have barely passed, with many Brits still surrounded by Christmas cheer, but supermarkets are already eyeing up the next celebration.
Mimicking one of the show’s most memorable moments, an employee clutching a bag of Mini Eggs mouthed: "You ain't gonna find better than me, Neil," echoing the moment Smithy threatens to leave fiancée Sonia at the altar. Another staff member retorts: "I already did," as they proudly display the supersized chocolate offering. Instagram But not everyone is basking in the early Easter enthusiasm.
Waitrose Woodley, however, assured shoppers that they already had them in stock. A desperate shopper pleaded: "Please tell me where in Cheshire can I buy them?? My nearest stores are Northwich and Sandbach. " One individual wasn't too fussed about the chocolate, instead asking, "Can we get 1kg steaks, please?" as an alternative.
For many Christians, the eating of Easter eggs marks the end of the lent period, which is where "40 days are observed to represent the 40 days that Jesus spent in the desert where he fasted and was tempted by the devil," according to The Town Talk.
