AIBU to *not* eat the egg?!

[LazyDoll]

So on Thursday afternoon we got in after a half term day out (walking) and a parcel was waiting on my porch.
It was addressed to ‘The Lazydoll Family’ with a typed label and delivered first class Royal Mail.
Assuming it was an Easter gift it sat in the lounge until today when I thought it was probably wrapped inside so should open it so I could thank the sender and say we’d ‘unwrap’ tomorrow.
Inside was an Easter egg.
Just in its box.
No message.
No card.
No idea where or who it’s from.
I’ve messaged all the usual suspects.
Nada.
We are a family of 5.
4 of them are happy to share the egg.
I cannot do this if I DON’T KNOW WHO IT’S FROM?!?!
Eat the egg?
Don’t eat the egg?
That is the question!!!!
Help prevent an Easter family feud (it IS a G&B Organic Milk).....

Am I the only person on here who would truffle it and fulfil its Easter destiny?

Maybe you could remove the egg from its foil wrapper and use the foil to fashion a little tin foil hat bonnet

I have never heard of anyone being poisoned by an easter egg before ... why is everyone so paranoid?

We would probably hear of more easter egg poisonings if people weren't so careful.

@JesusIsAnyNameFree

"the chances of this being a problem are infinitesimal. Random poisonings of totally innocent people are one of the most rare occurrences that there are..."
Are you in Salisbury by any chance OP?
Have you hefted it to see if it is suspiciously heavy? It could be the harbinger of an alien invasion force...

Brushing scam, becoming more common. www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-54055669

@TheNestedIf

Leave it alone.

Otherwise, in 24 hours time, you'll all be sat round the dining table and a Lindt Bunny will suddenly burst forth from someone's chest and go on the rampage.

Love it. Though my money personally is on radioactive. All they need to do then is count on OPs desire to not bin it while politely trying to find the anonymous gift giver.

I proper belly laughed at this. Brilliant.

I’m actually concerned by the amount of paranoia this is on here....

I would eat it and not give it a second thought

I wouldn't have even considered it poisoned, I thought at first you wouldn't eat it because you wanted to say thank you first.

Hmmm, the sender is probably counting on you being freaked out and afraid to eat it. It’s probably been bugged and you’re being monitored. Have you checked it for a hidden camera?

Was it hand-labelled or delivered direct from a shop? The latter I would definitely eat

@GuildfordGal

I'd catapult it into the sunset, then fire at it with a machine gun in slow motion, while releasing a raw, agonised and primitive scream into the air.

😂

Until I read this thread I would have just eaten it. Now I'm worried for your safety op!

@PomBearWithoutHerOFRS
Who the actual fuck sends one egg to a family of five?
This

Mumsnetters are mad.

It's SO unlikely that it isnt just from a kind person who thought they'd send you an easter gift.

Poison? Explosives!? WTF

Having said that, I wouldn't eat it.But that's because I don't enjoy chocolate!

Or, and I can't believe I'm still awake, a body part of a loved one inside the egg with a ransom note... You need to crack open that egg, OP.

We got an Easter egg left on our doorstep. we ate it 3 days ago. Waiting for the 🐀 poison effect to kick in

Yes, (silly me) or that

@Doona
Of course, eat it! Unless your family has suffered assassination attempts in the past, in which case you should contact the police

Where’s Poirot when you need him?

This really is a cracking mystery @LazyDoll truly eggceptional. If you’re not eggspecting anything chocolate based from any bunny I’d bin it but I’m a bit of a chicken. 🐇🐣

I have eaten (wrapped) Mars bars I found lying on the ground so probably not the person to ask.

Offer it on social media to others, OP. I gather there is a national chock egg shortage at moment.

This reminds me a while ago someone sent me a chocolate medal. It was so odd! No reason for it no idea who did it. My boyfriend ate it and he is unhappily still with us with no ill effects.

Sorry unlike JesusIsAnyNameFree I needed to sleep .....in no particular order-

I totally missed the Alien reference - sorry.

Green and Blacks.

Very home printed label and swathed in parcel tape. Definitely not sent from Amazon etc.

I am not a Russian double agent.

I work for a very small company. If anyone did Easter gifts it would’ve me (it wasn’t me).

No postmark on Royal Mail printed labels now. It has a branch code but after extensive googling I still can’t find out which branch it is.

I’m not on social media so can’t ask on there

No I haven’t upset anyone lately ...that o know of 🤔

It’s a normal weight for an egg.

One egg between 5 is (almost) the oddest thing about this scenario.

Oh and HAPPY EASTER

Isn’t it infinitely more likely that someone meant to send it to a neighbour and has written the wrong house number on?
