Easter Eggs not wrapped in foil

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?

The ASDA extra special ones that we had had no foil, it’s definitely not an April Fool!

THIS WAS AN APRIL FOOLS THREAD FROM MONDAY

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

It wasn't an April fools joke. As I said upthread, I had a Belgian chocolate egg with no foil/plastic cover and so did the little boy I look after.

@Bonjovispjs I'm sure in your specific example that may be the case but OP was talking about Cadburys/Reeses/Thorntons. All of which are foil wrapped as protested by multiple posters.

She did well!
