A number of shoppers around the UK have complained after finding Easter eggs on supermarket shelves in December.
It can't have come as a shock, surely -
it happens every year!
Chocolate eggs and hot cross buns have already been spotted for sale in shops including Morrisons, Tesco and Asda.
As reported by Sky News, Gary Evans, 66, from Margate, shared a picture of Creme Eggs on display at his local Morrisons on Boxing Day.
"I just think it's crazy that everything is so superficial and meaninglessly commercial... [there's] something quite frantic about it," he said.
You're in a supermarket, Gary - 'superficial and meaninglessly commercial' is its raison d'etre.
"I wish that supermarkets weren't so blatantly consumerist-driven and would actually allow customers and staff a time to decompress during the Christmas period."
You could always stay home?

They clearly are not paying attention. Creme Eggs are sold all year round. I suspect Hot Cross buns are too. I've been to Morrisons and Asda and not seen any blatant Easter advertising or Easter goods in a prominent position.
The worst bit is that they can actually make hot cross buns that last until Easter
First world problems!
The supermarkets are not stupid. Easter Eggs and Hot Cross Buns obviously sell in December, or they would not use the shelf space.
"I wish that supermarkets weren't so blatantly consumerist-driven."
It's their job you moron. No one is being forced to buy the stuff. First world problems taken to new extremes.
Stonyground.
Me neither, in Tesco and Sainsbury's.
🤢
Indeed!
Spot on!
