Old and grumpy re. Easter eggs

I am currently being repulsed 🤣 by all the adverts on Instagram for Easter eggs that are filled half an inch or more thick with goo and stuff. What is this about? Surely the best thing about Easter eggs has always been that thin chocolate (although I’m fully on board with nice treats inside the thin chocolate egg, I’m not a mad woman).

Has anyone tried these - was it good or bad?

I do like the Hotel Chocolat ones but I’m not getting one this year, they are a lot of money

I was always disappointed that a creme egg Easter egg didn't contain all the crème, but instead came with 2 or 3 smaller eggs. Smartie eggs should be filled to the brim with smarties. We are royally ripped off with Easter eggs imo!

I bought a couple of hotel Chocolat ones for my family last year and they enjoy them. But I know what you mean, it's gone a bit too far!
