£90 for a Lindt chocolate bunny, the world has gone mad.

I've just popped in to my local Budgen's for some milk. It's just a bog standard Budgens in a typical semi rural village, not an overly affluent area.

Standing waiting to pay and my eye is diverted over the the Easter Egg stand and sitting there is a 1kg Lindt Bunny, I had to do a double take, it was almost £90 - I know chocolate is very expensive these days but almost £100 for a lump of hollow chocolate....bloody hell.

Each to their own but some people must have more money than sense.

i had that bunny about 10 years ago (not in UK) and it is a LOT of thick chocolate. A lot.

My bosses bought it for me last year and it was a HUGE amount of chocolate!

I was v sad when I finished it

I don't think its that bad tbh

I am a chocoholic but I'd even struggle with that amount. I personally think it's excessive.

If my boss was going to spend almost £100 on Easter chocolate I'd rather have the money tbh.

what do you mean excessive? you surely don't think i or @IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece didn't eat it all at once? Unclench.

Ok, and? What we shouldn't be able to buy that much chocolate because you couldn't eat it over a period of 8 weeks? Get over yourself 😂

Mine gave me £150, the Lindt bunny and an extra day off work so I was fine

Well, quite 😂

I remember my fiancé at the time buying me the most enormous chocolate egg which he paid £25 for - in 1974. It took me weeks to eat and it the Lindt bunny has a similar amount of chocolate then I don’t think it’s too bad.

It’s 1kg of decent quality chocolate, which is no mean feat to make, package, ship and store in that format.

A regular sized bunny is what? £5 for 100g? Vs probably £3 for a bar of nilk
Lindt.

The cheapest way to buy chocolate is as a bar. More complex presentations cost more. This isn’t news.

Doesn't it still being for sale at this time of Easter Sunday say something about the demand for it?

the demand for the 1kg ones is always low, i think. I am lucky in that i live not too far from one of their production sites, so if i really wanted i could go to the factory shop. (I rarely do)

I live near a fairly wealthy city. I saw several people buying the bunny last week. Stunned, tbh. Just looked at their website, easter chocolate is reduced and selling at 50% of what it was last week. Time to stock up...

ETA: according to the website, the 1kg Bunny isn't available, so i guess it's sold out.
