starlight32 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Who still buys the kids an Easter egg? I have to say I feel it is becoming a thing of the past, as seems to have been replaced by Xbox or Wii games? I went out out and bought a few today and was surprised how cheap they are. Bought ten and got change out of a tenner...... And before someone asks they were'nt 10 creme eggs either. Mixed assortment of all the front line favorites.

They are dearer in Ireland simply because all chocolate has to be imported. Chocolate production is prohited by EU law in your neck of the woods. Not many know that but you learn something new everyday as they say. There is a Cadbury's factory in Cork, but it is just another front for Guiness production so I am told.

Jim Sarakun Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Yup, still do. Still hide them in the garden too, for the kids, you know, lots of the smaller ones and a few chocolate Rabbits. Still enjoy the chocolate fest that ensues once they are all found. Some things you just never grow out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Fudd Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 im tempted to buy a few chocolate rabbits and hide them in the fields, should be a laugh when we go shooting on saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr W Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Yes of course, why wouldn't you want chocolate. Don't have any kids but have 9 nephews and nieces and a wife, also love getting a few myself in fatc just got one from my boss, nice. I reckon Lindt chocolate rabbits are pretty good as thick chocolate. My local sainsburys were selling them for 95p each so for example a cream egg one has 2 cream eggs (say 40p each) which means you get a whole egg for 15p, I might just buy myself a load, ha ha.
