Tunnocks Easter egg anyone? I believe this was posted as an April Fool on their social media but all the comments were along the lines of make this for real next year and I can't give you my money fast enough.

Check out The Fat Mallow Company next Easter for their marshmallow filled eggs - they also do giant marshmallow teacakes about 4 times the size of Tunnocks ones, in different flavours.

I’m not sure of the make of the actual shoes, but I custom painted them - along with the trainers and egg shaped Louis Vuitton bag - for a customer who has some amazingly bonkers ideas for commissions!

@TheShoeLady love those shoes, are they real? Maybe Irregular Choice

Sign me up! Remember the scene in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory where they lick the mallow out of the flowers?

I would eat one. Slowly, but I would definitely manage one, @PearlClutchUser.

Re the creme egg Easter egg...

Its just a big boring hollow chocolate egg with a creme egg on the side. Why would I buy that instead of a box of 6 creme eggs?

And why cant they just make one massive creme egg?

Eurghh, I’m just thinking of all that really sickly sweet and gooey filling. It would get everywhere as soon as you smashed the chocolate shell.
I quite like the normal size cream egg but the thought of a huge one is making me feel a bit nauseous.
Less is definitely better in this case.

RedToothBrush · 06/04/2026 00:14

Because the chocolate to filling ratio is completely off and it wouldn't taste like a creme egg.

The size of bloody creme eggs now is ridiculous. They’re not much bigger than mini eggs. I remember back in the 80s you’d get 6 in a proper sized egg box, now you get 5 tiny ones in a shit square box. Why 5? 5 eggs isn’t even a thing. In 5 years we’ll be getting 2 creme eggs the size of garden peas in a paper bag for £400.

Agreed. I ate one after lunch today and it was gone in 4 bites (and I tried to make it last). I’m also positive the chocolate used to be much thicker and harder, I remember having to gnaw the top of a CC egg for ages to get into it.
Isn’t being grown up just one long list of disappointments.

Just the thought has made me feel a bit sicky.

Me too. I can't even eat the normal
ones since they changed the filling. It's just liquid sugar.

I wish I could go to McDonald's and just get a mcflurry container filled with the creme egg mix, forget the ice cream. I doubt they'd do it though.

I feel this way about their hot caramel sauce 😁
Forget the ice-cream and just gimme that!

RollOnSunshine · 05/04/2026 21:30

Great idea OP. They could name it 'The Diabetes Egg'

There is a real giant one in Cadbury’s World on display

There was until recently, but it's not there anymore.

Not wanting to randomly derail, and should probably start my own thread in Chat... but is anybody else on here mega impressed by just how capacious Transit vans are?

It could come with a super long chocolate spoon so you scoop out some creme and bite a piece off the spoon with every mouthful

Stop it <drool>

TheShoeLady · 05/04/2026 17:17

You could wear these while eating it!

JMSA · 05/04/2026 16:53

I would eat it! But it would be SO heavy to transport, etc 😁

Basic maths: the volume of creme increases in proportion to the square of the surface area of the chocolate. So in a giant egg the ratio of creme to chocolate would be completely off.

I was going to say something a bit like this. A friend has a business making lava lamps. One year she made some massive ones for a shop window display but they didn’t work as well. I expect this would be similar.

If it were possible, I’d expect to keep it in the fridge as flies would get to the sticky filling. Ugh.

Because it would be massively sickly and probably more than a years worth of calories

GrannyWeatherwaxsBroomstick · 05/04/2026 15:33

I found a bag of mini cream eggs and made those into cookies. They are a bit more manageable than the full size eggs. You really need to freeze them first though.

TrickorTreacle · 05/04/2026 15:23

Whoever starts on a giant creme egg would need to be the same person that finishes it off due to hygiene. Then if it's 8 eggs worth at 200 calories each, that would be 1600 calories all in all. It wouldn't be possible to finish it due to the inside starting to go off after about 24 hours of the egg being opened. Also, blood sugar levels!

Justnetballandcoffee · 05/04/2026 15:09

That would be too much filling. The egg would need to be very thick chocolate for the proportions to work. A chocolate egg and almost correctly portioned creme egg is much better IMHO.

Davros · 05/04/2026 14:53

It would be fun to try. For a while anyway before you have to go and have your stomach pumped
