Cadbury Creme eggs on sale now.

Listen, nobody on this planet loves Cadbury Creme Eggs more than me (except the mini ones, they suck). But WTF are they doing in stores now?

Actually, scratch that.

I'm ok that the candy is in stores, but why the fuck does it have an Easter display?

Kraft needs to get smart about this before they over saturate the market. Wrap the eggs up into a different mold with different packaging and do a "limited supply" thing for Christmas as stocking stuffers. But save your eggs for Easter. If they don't, they may find people won't care about them as much.

Summers was a little miffed at the whole thing, wondering whether profits were behind the decision.

"What's a 3-year-old to think?" she asked. "We want them to confuse the Easter bunny with Santa Claus?"

Seriously?

At any rate... I have no issue with the eggs being present, but yeah, at least put some red/green on the display. I love those fucking things.

If people cared, they wouldnt buy things, and companies wouldn't do it.
