Easter eggs talking to me

I bought 2 easter eggs for relatives today. I left them in the car so I wouldn't be tempted (I have no willpower when it comes to chocolate) but they are talking to me.

The tubes of smarties I used to get for Christmas stocking used to nag me ALL THE TIME!

However the Easter eggs have been sitting on a bookshelf for weeks now and they are still intact. I have asked DH not to get me one this year, so I will be entirely chocolateless.

Hahaha 😆 😂 😆 😂

I have replaced the children eggs twice
I have eaten mine, DP his 😅
This year they have been so talkative

Just gone to sneak a mini mini kit kat one to ease the voices and found some &@#_#>#&#^@<##^^ has eaten all the mini eggs for the egg hunt 😱I am not guilty of this

There’s something wrong to be said about giving up chocolate during lent. Unfortunately this year it’s not religious but a diet so not sure what I’ll do at Easter 😭

BunnyLake · 01/04/2026 18:49

They’re not just talking they are loudly demanding my attention! I have eaten three eggs since last week! I think I’m comfort eating as I became an empty nester last year. I’m planning on buying another couple tomorrow. They have become my happy place, sitting on the sofa watching a kdrama and eating an egg 😳 It’s weird because I could easily leave them alone when the kids were here. I don’t even know when Easter is.

They are saying, "Don't do it ! Resist, resist......"

Everydayimhuffling · 01/04/2026 18:55

I've given up chocolate for Lent (despite atheism) and reached a point in succeeding where I have to continue out of sheer bloody mindedness, so they're safe from me this year.

DP, on the other hand, has had to replace the creme eggs and caramel eggs many times this year. Thankfully he has, otherwise he'd be in big trouble: they're my favourite and I have waited a long time for them this year!

Adelle79360 · 01/04/2026 19:02

Another one here who has given up chocolate for lent so I can’t eat the Easter eggs I’ve bought for people. I admire all of you who have stayed strong and resisted and am jealous of all those who have succumbed 😋

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 01/04/2026 19:04

So eat them then! I don’t see the issue

Bikergran · 01/04/2026 19:06

They are saying...."Eat us, so we can take up permanent residence on your backside!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

TheBeaTgoeson1 · 01/04/2026 16:55

Can’t you just buy yourself one?

Everyone knows they don't taste the same. It's a scientific phenomenon.

TheEasteregg2 · 01/04/2026 19:32

Eat me.... I am delicious and choclately.. eat me

Bedheadbeachbum · 01/04/2026 16:44

Two of 'our' Easter eggs talked to me earlier, they are no longer in existence! 🤣

Definitely will need to replace before Easter.

This is abusive. Those poor eggs

IwantToDatePicard · 01/04/2026 19:41

So was mine ... I've just opened it 😋

MyOliveStork · 01/04/2026 19:42

Just eat one, they can share the other one

Riapia · 01/04/2026 19:58

I am certain that easter eggs were never intended to be bought for other people.
😉😁.

GloiredeDijon · 01/04/2026 20:06

This is why if I buy anything chocolate related as a present I choose something with a flavour I don’t like or even the hell that is white so called chocolate.
Other wise it will never survive.

Springtime54 · 01/04/2026 21:21

I ate one 🤣🤣 now I need to replace it quickly!

Please belive me when I say that Easter eggs are in no way the lovely joyful eggs they used to be, in fact I would go far as to say they taste pretty much NOTHING like chocolate. And this is coming from a very disappointed chocolate addict (after eating and replacing one of my sons just to check) not worth it!

dollyblue01 · 02/04/2026 07:50

I can’t buy them until tomorrow or Saturday or they disappear, I get them late and they stay 🫤

LydiaFunnyGums · 02/04/2026 07:54

The Easter eggs sure ain’t talking to me. I saw them on display and picked up a bar of Green & Black chocolate instead which is way more appealing and satisfying. And cheaper too!
A four bar dark chocolate Kit Kat cost me £1.19 the other day. It didn’t taste great and certainly not worth that price. Bloody rip off.

mrschocolatte · 02/04/2026 07:59

Mine was very chatty last week and I gladly chatted chomped back. A most delightful ‘conversation’. DP suggested I get another one but I fear for its safety.

scalt · 02/04/2026 08:12

When I was a child, Easter eggs used to talk to me. For the egg hunt, we children were blindfolded, and we would crawl to find our eggs, listening out for a sound, which might be a squeaky “I’m over here!”.

HoraceCope · 02/04/2026 08:13

i have a bag on mini eggs in front of me
i bought them for dd
painful

Woe betide all of you thinking about Easter eggs during Lent - Jesus hasn't even been crucified yet! Easter Grin

It reminds me of the thread about Easter eggs appearing in shops in the New Year. "Jesus has only just been born, and we're nailing him up already!"

I’m holding out until after the service tomorrow for a hot cross bun (or maybe a few). I feel I deserve it even though I can’t fast nowadays.

A benefit of church is that Easter starts at the Easter Vigil on Saturday so eggs a day early!
