Gripped by festive bewilderment, social media was abuzz with people sharing their sightings of early-bird Easter treats in stores such as Morrisons, Tesco, and Asda, well ahead of Easter Sunday's April 20 calendar slot. One bewildered customer, @Jingle1991, posted a picture on Christmas Eve showing Malteser Bunnies lined up in Sainsbury’s, wryly noting: "Jesus hasn’t even been born yet." In Margate, local Gary Evans took to Twitter to showcase Creme Eggs on display in Morrison’s on Boxing Day, describing the premature push as crazy and lamenting the commercial rush, saying, "I just think its crazy that everything is so superficial and meaninglessly commercial... (there’s) something quite frantic about it," in conversation with the PA news agency. Stoke-on-Trent's Joseph Robinson encountered Easter sweets spanning Cadbury Mini Eggs to themed Kit-Kat and Kinder surprises at his local Morrisons on Friday, saying: "It’s funny, as they’ve not even managed to shift the Christmas chocolates off the shelves yet and they’re already stocking for Easter." Mike Chalmers, a devout Christian from Chippenham, Wiltshire, expressed a measured view upon seeing a display titled: "Celebrate this Easter with Cadbury." He remarked, "Christmas and Easter are the two centrepoints of the Christian good news story so it’s no bad thing to see the connections," and added, "It’s about more than shapes of chocolate though! " Meanwhile, marketing consultant Andrew Wallis, who was taken aback by the sight of Easter eggs in the Co-op at Kilgetty, Pembrokeshire, considered it indicative of "forward-thinking" by major corporations. Sharing his thoughts with PA, the 54 year old from the Isle of Man, who advises the fitness industry on marketing, said, "It made me reflect on how big brands are always thinking ahead and planning early," He advised retailers, "My message to retailers would be: while planning ahead is important, it’s also essential to be mindful of consumer sentiment.
