Lindor egg, what a swizz!

I know everyone has different tastes but I think Cadburys is still the best chocolate by a mile. Lindor is horrible and I think people only rave about it to be snobby. It's only fit to give to the next raffle.

This is the reason why I refuse to buy Easter eggs now! After looking at the actual weight of the contents it was easy to work out that the fancy packaging was simply a ploy to get people to part with money for very little chocolate!
OH had a Toblerone instead and they were on offer too.

Same as you. I bought large bars and boxes of chocolates this year. Far more chocolate for my money.

Not really a swizz if you love it though!

It is if you are paying more for less chocolate.

And I'd never buy any type of chocolate egg tainted by the word 'Cadbury'.

Nowadays, it's only fit for melting down and using to stick down that awkward corner of wallpaper that keeps coming unstuck.

You have to look at the weight I think.
That's the best clue as to size.
Unless you can actually see the egg of course - but it could be very thin or very solid!

They're smaller and thinner.

Unlike me, I might be smaller but not thinner.

Who on earth weighs Easter eggs? TBH it would never have occurred to me.

For comparison, here’s the one he gave me. It came with 3 Maltesers bunnies.

They're all a big swiz!

Bought them for the DGC but not any adults this year.

Look at the size of the box compared to the actual egg! It did come with 7 chocs, but I still think it was deliberately deceptive.
Bought for dh, he’s not complaining, but I’m not a happy Easter Bunny.
