# we started selling them in january
i fail to see why.

# At my local newsagent
they were selling them before christmas! New ones too, not old ones left over from last year.

# it's obvious innit,
christmas is out of the way, so it must be easter!
(I helped save b3ta! barnesy, Sat 15 Feb 2003, 18:21, archived)
# cos they're yummy
they should be sold in huge quantities all year round
(I helped save b3ta! spacefish bong!, Sat 15 Feb 2003, 18:21, archived)
# then sell them all year round
but don't try and sell them as an eastertime novelty when it's nowhere near easter. it's madness - crazy madness at that!
(I helped save b3ta! bananaman, Sat 15 Feb 2003, 18:22, archived)
# I thought
that they were sold all year round, but that the easter egg versions start appearing on shop shelves in time for easter (probably november the way shops seem to start selling stuff so early...)
(I helped save b3ta! barnesy, Sat 15 Feb 2003, 18:24, archived)
# im a firm believer
that they should market an easter egg sized creme egg filled with the fondant stuff. could kill someone if dropped but could keep me happy for a while thats for sure.

i loooove creme eggs

# i second that!
they did the mini ones...
what was the point?

# have you noticed
how theyre smaller this year too?
(skagg, Sat 15 Feb 2003, 18:32, archived)
# yes
I've had that conversation before - creme eggs do seem to get smaller each year
(I helped save b3ta! barnesy, Sat 15 Feb 2003, 18:33, archived)
# I think
that would be just a bit too sickly! I do like creme eggs, but that would be a bit much!

but them I completely gave up chocolate nine months ago because my level of chocolate comsumption was getting a bit ridiculous!

# quite so
it promotes binge-egging
(I helped save b3ta! spacefish bong!, Sat 15 Feb 2003, 18:25, archived)
# quite right
and if the creme eggs arent rationed properly there may be no more creme lesser spotted warblers left for future generations to enjoy.

# Creme Egg FACTS
FACT - 180 million Creme Eggs are sold in the UK each year - more than 3 for every man, women and child.

FACT - A year's production of Creme Eggs laid end-to-end would stretch from the Creme Egg factory in Bournville, Birmingham to Easter Island in the Pacific.

FACT - If all the Creme Eggs produced were stacked one on top of the other, the pile would be over 900 times higher than Mount Everest.

FACT - One year's output of Creme Eggs weighs more than 1,500 African elephants.

FACT - If you eat more than three in one go you will feel queasy for 7 hours.

# that last one is not true
i used to regularly buy packs of 6 and eat them on my break at work last year. daily infact. FACT

FACT - If all the Creme Eggs produced were stacked one on top of the other, the pile would, no doubt, fall over!

# no - i knew shouldn't've written that in that way -
what i meant was I'd seen the odd post from Unicorn that ended /relurk and as i was also lurking (and trying to work etc) i couldn't reply.
oooh - you know what i mean!

# eep - so i did!
i won't! i have a thing where i can't eat things that i've been sick directly after. creme eggs and tomato soup are the main offenders.
