Easter Eggs not wrapped in foil

[CanNeverThinkOfAName]

Noticed this today when DC opened theirs. Eggs are boxed without foil covering them.

Just opened one of mine (can’t sleep so thought I’d have a bit with a cuppa!). It just seems a bit odd that they’re not wrapped. I know they’re in a box but you need the foil to wrap what’s left of it in to keep it fresh. It’s like it’s open to the elements!

Obviously it’s a save the environment thing (and saves manufacturers lots) but it doesn’t sit right with me. I mean soggy paper straws and now naked eggs!

Anyone else think this is not cricket?

Mine is an Extra Special one from Asda, sealed cardboard box but no foil or plastic packaging. I presume it’s for environmental reasons as foil isn’t recyclable everywhere.

Hmmm. All our eggs were wrapped. The amount of boxing is ridiculous though.

Can you not put them in Tupperware, cling film or tin foil yourself like you probably would with leftovers of any other products?

But OP are suggesting hers are boxed, but not foil wrapped within that box.

Yes indeed, but that post was in response to a PP who talked as if they were sitting bare naked on a shelf!

Oh dear

M+S, naked but for the cardboard, just the cardboard no plastic window, tastes fine, not gonna get a chance to go stale. Fine by me.

I got DH a Bailey's easter egg from Aldi, and we were surprised when he opened the box that it wasn't wrapped in foil!

My mini egg one was foil wrapped.

I bought DM a Sainsburys Taste the Difference one last year and that was just in a box not foil wrapped.

Yet again hygiene is being sacrificed for eco reasons

I got my little one a dairy free one from Aldi and was also shocked there was no foil, it just seems wrong 😕

We have a ridiculous amount of eggs this year. All but one are foiled wrapped. The only one that isn't is an Aldi own one. I just cracked it over a tupperware and it's in the fridge. Tastes fine.

Just use your own foil 🤣

Roll them how? Egg rolling is with decorated real eggs. Isn't it!?

How is it completely exposed to the elements if it's in a box?

Because the one I had was wrapped in foil within its cardboard packaging which had a "window" which I don't think is unusual.
If the chocolate had not been wrapped in foil, and was 'naked' it would have been exposed.

My Thorntons one has no foil. Obviously it is in a box without a window.
Its held in place within the box in plastic. I prefer the ones in foil and held in place by cardboard within the box.

I had twirl and flake and both were wrapped in purple foil and then their box.

These are all foil wrapped don't know what's happened to yours. Either you've been smoking something or one of your kids is playing an April Fool. Or you are.

My Kit Kat egg i opened today was foil wrapped. The egg was bloody sickly though

We’ve had, nestle and Cadbury and Lindor in this house and all have foil.

I can't see that foil makes any difference to how it keeps. It's not airtight.

I just opened one that was 'naked' in its box and didn't give it a second thought. The box was completely sealed, which has done a perfectly good job of housing it. The chocolate tastes fine.

THIS WAS AN APRIL FOOLS THREAD FROM MONDAY

OP hasn't posted again. She did well though. Subtly and yet frustrating to read!

M&S and hotel chocolat eggs weren't wrapped in foil. Now you mention it. Bloody awkwardly because the foil is handy to contain shards of broken chocolate in
