to be extremely annoyed at Thornton's

[UniqueSiren]

They have run out of milk chocolate eggs. The bog standard ones they personalise. Seriously. I'm so annoyed at how shit they are.

There are 3 people in my family that will be very disappointed. You just don't expect a (massively overrated) chocolate shop to run out of chocolate!!!!!!! Can they not just MAKE SOME MORE?????!

so glad my kids are grown up now and i don't have to do all this stuff.
A cheapo Aldi egg each and job done.
No more standing at the top of a freezing hill rolling badly painted hard boiled eggs which left my hands covered in paint

if i’m correct Thornton’s were on dodgy financial territory so that might explain being more sensible in their ordering.

Buy a bloody Easter egg from a supermarket. It doesn’t specifically need to be a Thornton’s egg. No need for the angst about it.

Good - it means people are actually shopping there and maybe we won't see yet another retailer leaving gaps all over the decimated high streets just yet.

It makes it worse that I think it's over priced and tastes like wax! (imo, I like cadbury or galaxy)

Why on earth did you continue this 'tradition' if you don't actually like it?

God those eggs are foul!

Online? 15percent off for next day delivery. They are still advertising.

They are sellling Thornton’s eggs (with a football or cupcake) in Asda for £3, you could pipe on the names yourself.

I'll be buying half a dozen next week for a pound each, and using them for cooking chocolate. Warehouse dumped about 400 last year even so.

I felt so sorry today - there was a man around his 70s or 80s looking for a dark chocolate egg in one of the supermarkets and the assistant told him off really loudly - 'you are too LATE!!!' He was all apologetic - 'oh dear at least I have learned for next year'. He picked up a nice looking alternative at least.

OP they have loads online...

Completely missing the point but how on earth do you cope at Christmas if hiding 3 Easter eggs is beyond you?

Perhaps everyone else thinks Thornton chocolate is a bit shit too but haven't wanted to say. They'll probably be glad of a change. Start a new trend of buying a nice Waitrose one or something.

Plus I am a bit baffled you can't hide a few eggs. Unless you were buying tons of them.

it's overpriced and taste like wax

So now you have the perfect excuse to buy a different one!
I hate Thorntons - oversweet

They ran out because o2 priority had a special offer to get a free one for 2 weeks. They might rethink that again

YABU who buys that shit tasting chocolate anyway.
I'd be glad they ran out, it's hardly descriptable as chocolate.

Buy normal eggs and pipe names on yourself. Then wrap in sellophane and a bow.

They’ve probably made fewer this year to limit losses on unsold eggs.

When I say ‘normal’ I mean chocolate. Not free range.

You can buy Thornton's eggs from other retailers. I know M and S sell them and so do Tescos

I get that there is an emotional side to this but are you sure that this is actually something to get so wound up about. Just do something different this year and go back to your tradition next year. 💁🏻

Is there an outlet place near you that you could get to on Saturday? Both Mcarthur Glen and a Freeport outlet near us have a Thorntons.

I bought 2 Thornton basic eggs today for £5. They had loads in my local supermarket.

They are doing you a huge favour, because Thorntons chocolate is terrible.

But, if you're really bothered, Wilko are selling Thorntons eggs for £2 and you could probably put the names on yourself...

A bit late?

It's not even Easter yet

You mean you didn’t buy them on Boxing Day when they went on sale
