Tony’s chocolonely egg is not an egg

Aibu to feel ripped off. Square box makes you think you have a normal egg. Actually you have a flat egg. An ellipse. A squished egg. All the pictures are face on so you don’t get to see the profile from the side, which would show it’s not a proper egg.

Kids asked why they didn’t get proper eggs.

Oh bugger. Bought DP one, he gets back home tonight and was hoping to help him eat it.

I was very underwhelmed with it. Tastes like 1980s Yorkie.

I agree. There's absolutely nothing special about it.

JJathome · 31/03/2024 15:52

I also can’t see the issue, it looks fine to me too.

Yep, you'll have to bin it now. It's the wrong shape !

My kids did this too! Couldn’t bite it or break it so they gave up which is very unlike them.

Surely a couple of bashes with a rolling pin would have sorted it?

I could just eat the wrong egg evidence.

DramaLlamaMumma · 31/03/2024 17:02

Doesn’t surprise me since the advent calendar fiasco a couple of years ago 😂

Floralnomad · 31/03/2024 17:11

That’s not flat it’s just not the traditional shape , I can’t see the issue .

Oblomov24 · 31/03/2024 17:12

Not heard of this before. Shame.

WelcomeMarchwithwintrywind · 31/03/2024 17:14

It was featured on The One Show on BBC1 a few days ago, IIRC. I think the people they chose to interview were very disappointed.

Newsenmum · 31/03/2024 17:17

Has anyone got a better picture? Looks like a normal egg to me

Mynewnameis · 31/03/2024 17:21

Not buying the brand again after advent calendar disappointment

I’m sick of Toneys.

Have all the ethics you like, but when your chocolate is crazy-paved, you can’t break it into bits and it spoils the experience.

I have recently thrown some away because I just couldn’t be arsed with it, and that’s unheard of.

Overlooking that I've had no issues breaking them up, are you aware of why the pieces are unequal?

CherryBlossom321 · 31/03/2024 17:28

Agree it’s not a proper egg shape, but that’s the least of the problem - their chocolate is rank.

PuppyMonkey · 31/03/2024 17:34

It’s really not very nice chocolate. Rather unpleasant aftertaste imho.

HoneyButterPopcorn · 31/03/2024 17:36

I haven’t forgiven them for the advent calendar a while back were they had one empty window with a preachy comment…

AhBiscuits · 31/03/2024 17:38

The kids Freddo egg was flattened too. I read that it's gone from 122g to 96g.

Hellocatshome · 31/03/2024 17:45

Well you bash it up before you eat it so can't get bothered about the shape. But if my kids had moaned after getting perfectly good chocolate for Easter they would have been told to stop being ungrateful.

BoudiccaOfSuburbia · 31/03/2024 18:19

The chocolate looks good and thick

That's low-key the laziest thing I've ever heard 😂

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 31/03/2024 18:27

Tonys is waaay overrated. Far better chocolate to be had out there.

WhatFlavourIsIt · 31/03/2024 18:31

@Nudgethatjudge - I like your style. I've eaten the egg I got for my husband while he's been out golfing. there's not a scap of evidence it ever existed.

BobnLen · 31/03/2024 18:33

I bought the Tonys mini eggs and they were nice, DH doesn't like it much but he always manages to eat that large bit in the bar that I can't bite very well, he probably crams it in all at once

Excited101 · 31/03/2024 18:43

Im not getting the problem, it’s still a bit hollow egg shape, it’s just not perfectly round. It makes no difference- like all Easter eggs the weight is on the box, if you expect it to be different then that’s on you.

the orange tonys bar (or Easter egg) with the salted caramel is amazing. I’ve never been fussed by their other flavours.

What a load of moaning.
