Cadbury has unveiled a new chocolate treat for its Christmas range, but shoppers are quick to point out its resemblance to a classic Easter staple. The Dairy Milk Buttons Smash Bauble, designed for the festive season, has prompted many to ask if the confectioner is now making Easter eggs for Christmas.
Shoppers Compare Bauble to Easter Eggs
On the popular Facebook page Newfoodsuk, shopper Shaun Stacey queried: "Soooo a round easter egg". The bauble-shaped chocolate has drawn widespread comparisons to traditional Easter eggs, with many noting the similarity.
Despite the confusion, most reactions appear positive. Shaun Stacey added: "Easter eggs at Christmas?? I'm not gonna complain, they normally come out boxing day anyway." Christine Criz Dobbinson Ball wrote: "So a round Easter egg for Xmas? That's works too." Traci Jones commented: "Easter eggs disguised as baubles. ... genius."
Summer Launch Raises Questions
Stacey Abrahams echoed the sentiment: "Easter egg for Xmas yes please." Paul Davison expressed excitement, saying: "This is essential for me, non negotiable." However, the summer launch has left some shoppers puzzled. Lilith Kochanowski questioned: "An Easter egg ... For Christmas ... In August???" Etta Hawkins commented: "Which holidays? We're not near any holiday other than summer holidays."
The Dairy Milk Buttons Smash Bauble is currently available through Cadbury Gifts Direct, priced at £2.70.
