Aren’t we the real mugs for putting up with this corporate bullshit?
Easter eggs have gone to shite. It’s a race to the bottom to produce the tiniest egg with the most packaging for the low, low price of €6-€10
Gone are the days you’d spend a solid £20 on the egg but it would be huge, have a couple of full size chocolate bars with it and a mug as well if you were lucky. You’d be lucky to get a fun size bar with your tiny egg now.
The world is gone to shite. This isn’t what Jesus died on the cross for.
They all taste shite now anyway melt in .2 secs well the cadburys and nestle ones do
Disgraceful!
Could they not make a full size creme egg one, filling and all, just to see what it would be like?
The real fuckery is how the Easter eggs have landed on shelves by January (if not December). A full 1.5/2 months before *Lent* starts, let alone Easter itself. Tell me in all seriousness, who is buying Easter eggs in early January? If it’s for snacking chocolate, you’ve got a heap of options in bar form, which is a hell of a lot easier to eat and store in the first place. Cheaper and possibly better quality too.
Anyway they’re gone to shite for the most part. Mostly sugar and palm oil in the cheap ones these days.
Twirl have a chocolate orange easter egg now…?!
It’s a bad time to be on a diet *heavy breathing*
its fucking February
That’s one nice face off.
You’re not looking in the right sections, I’ve seen plenty with mugs
I emptied out a kitchen cupboard a few years back, brought 30 easter egg mugs into the work canteen.
Is it going to be the case that they will all be gone in a month or 2?
Even the mini eggs..
Make sure you’re not buying from any of these companies:
Nestlé, Cargill, Barry Callebaut, Mars, Olam, Hershey and Mondelēz.
Check the back of the box to make sure.
These companies are currently being sued for allowing and profiting off of child slavery and trafficking. The companies they pay for cocoa have tricked children, moved them across borders and forced them to work for little to nothing, with no contact from their families and they were kept from running away from armed guards.
DO NOT SUPPORT THESE COMPANIES. Vote with your money. We would not accept this if the children were from Ireland, we should not accept it when the children are from Mali.
Do not give your child chocolate that cost another their childhood and dignity.
I got a mug with an Easter Egg 30+ years ago when I was like 9. It’s not even Easter-themed. It’s just a regular mug.
I still use it for tea whenever I go home.
I weep for this new generation. No Easter egg mugs, no toys in breakfast cereal boxes, and the quality of Kinder Egg toys has gone right down the toilet! This is the fall of our great civilization!
These look 100 times better than the wax chocolate Easter bunnies we get here in the states.
Big Easter egg suppressing the common man
Kitkat & malteasers are the only ones that mention Easter.
The mugs are the people that buy them at those prices.
Crème Egg and the others for €10, saving 99c or €2? Only £5 in Tesco in NI.
€5.99 or 2 for €8 are just £3 each.
Even the £1 eggs sell for €2 or 3 for €5 in Tesco.ie
Why are the prices almost double south of the border for the exact same item?
The country has truly gone to hell.
I still have a creme egg one from years ago. Still going strong.
Man I kicked up bloody murder for a teenage mutant hero turtles one with a mug when I was a kid. Mug broke like a week later! It was Michelangelo, in case you’re wondering
We’re the mugs
That’s bullshit.
I’m going to home make our eggs this year. You can even buy moulds online. It will cost £5 for an egg you can’t buy for £20
Couldn’t find any eggcups either last year… its an egg how hard can it be
This is some bullshit! If Jesus saw this, he’d throw himself back up on that cross in disgust
That’s inflation for ya
Shrinkflation, we should start boycotting items that shrink.
Sadly alot of them are a generic egg with cheap packaging and a little Kit Kat or Mars bar thrown in
Easter ??? Already ??
Used to love the Yorkie ones the boxes were trucks and bulldozers
Picked up a sneaky little Mini Eggs one the other day, mad into them every year. Holy jaysus, it was shockingly awful. The chocolate was just this horrible waxy shite. Properly inedible. I know there’s talk all the time of the drop in quality of Cadbury chocolate but Christ almighty, it’s taken a fucking nosedive this year. I won’t be buying that shite anymore, and I’m normally a complete glutton around Easter. Fuck ’em.
And its all that horrible new recipe cadbury chocolate
If you put a mug in there, it would be more obvious how little chocolate was actually in it.
Am I the only one who’s never expected there to be a mug with a chocolate shaped egg ?
Most of the landfills of Ireland are 90% Easter mugs
I remember a few years ago that Galaxy used to do an egg in the style of those enchanted mini eggs they release around this time of year. It had the little crunchy bits in the egg itself. But you can’t find those anymore. Pity.
Honestly I saw the eggs in Tesco and none of them looked too appealing. I think I’m finally off my bullshit when it comes to Easter Eggs.
Cadbury Oreo, you say?
-American
Half of them don’t even seem to come with decent chocolate anymore, never mind cups! Most of the mass market chocolate seems to be replacing other ingredients with more and more sugar, especially since Modelez took over Cadbury.
Thank fuck, presses are bulging with faded old Mini eggs mugs that hold a child sized cuppa.
I guess you could say we’re being taken for mugs.
Mug? they should come in a waterford crystal vase for those prices.
Some of the nicest cups of tea I ever had have been from a mug from an Easter egg.
The mugs that come with Easter eggs are too small.
I’d you’re buying Easter eggs in February you’re the mug
What kind of mug would you like??? We must have about 50 Easter egg mugs in a box under the stairs from when we moved…
