It's an Easter Mass-(debate)

Muslims radicalising our Easter eggs

What's next?Chocolate Mosques?eh?eh?

...sadly, 'The Real Easter Egg'..or the Christian/religious chocolate egg as it's being called has always struggled with supermarkets and sales and supermarkets are all about the profit baby as we all know...Sainsbury's in particular though, pride themselves in their Fair Trade products and this for me is the reason why they should be stocking it and promoting it to consumers...

'was one of the first retailers to sell Fairtrade products, over 20 years later, Sainsbury’s is now the world's largest retailer of Fairtrade products. *

Sainsbury’s aims to provide customers with quality products at a fair price, sourced in a way that's better for the farmers, growers and workers involved. *Offering a wide range of Fairtrade products is part of this and can make a real difference to the lives of people in developing countries.
Selling Fairtrade-certified products ensures that producers in developing countries are given a guaranteed minimum price, which is especially important when market prices fall. Producers also receive the Fairtrade Premium to invest in business and community development.'

...ok it may have a little Easter Story booklet which non-religious or anti religious may disapprove of, I get that but it's also one of the very few Fair Trade chocolate eggs and a large portion of its sales are donated to charity...those reasons for me have always made it pretty much an egg I've always looked out for when buying them...shame on Sainsbury's really, they should have forgone a little bit of profit to stand by their ethics and made Easter great again...ooops....

Great point Ammi, I'm sure they carry other products at a loss it wouldn't have dented their profits to any great degree

NM hasn't left the forum in a huff yet so I doubt it

[Tozzie]

I've just had a right brainwave, I think next year I will open a shop and sell Christian Easter Eggs and donate some of the takings to my favourite charity, hopefully I'll make a killing hehe

In all my very long life I have never set eyes on a Christian Easter egg.
So some company decided to do it as a gimmick, it appears not to have worked.
Sticking a label on it saying The Real Easter egg doesn't mean it's any more religious than Cadburys, sticking little religious booklets just smacks of Kinder eggs.
The run up to Easter, in primary school, making little palm crosses and talk of Lent was always something to look forward to as a young kid in my day, the same as your new Easter outfits of cotton frocks white socks and sandals.
Easter chicks, Easter bunnies and Easter eggs are for all, religious or not.

You are dead right Smudgie

What the hell is an halal easter egg? It's made from chocolate isn't it?

OUTRAGE! At the Disco.



That's pretty much all I have to say on this thread. Anyone who gets genuinely outraged about Easter Eggs has it far too easy in life .

[Shaun]

The only outrage today is that I only got 1, incredibly small, egg.

[Kizzy]

The good christian people around don't need it writing on an egg and can hopefully see a marketing campaign/gimmick when they see one.

[user104658]

I told my daughter that we have Easter eggs because Easter is the day that Jesus hatched out of an egg.

She set me straight though. Some nonsense about the boulder blocking the Jesus zombie in a cave being like an egg and it rolling away so that he could get out and start biting people to give them the Christianity virus?
