B&M shoppers want 49p product that is 'wrong on all levels' removed from shelves immediately

High street discount store B&M has horrified shoppers by stocking a 49p product which people are calling 'so wrong on all levels'. The 49p snack has horrified people so much, they want them taken off shelves immediately.

Shoppers first spotted the 49p treats last week, but found themselves horrified at the thought. B&M shared a picture of them on Instagram, where shoppers quickly made their feelings known.

On the social media platform, B&M shared a photo of a collection of 49p white Crème Eggs on its Instagram page. The photo was accompanied by the caption: “Do we need to say anything in stores?

“Probably yes – Cadbury White Creme Egg, in-stores now – in December - for 49p each. If you're still reading this... run to B&M before they're gone! Who fancies one?"

Easter is not until April 9 this year, but B&M thought it fitting to start selling white Crème Eggs in December. The reaction to this was varied, with some customers unimpressed by B&M’s decision, while others seemed as if they couldn’t wait to try the chocolate delights.

Lisa Evans wrote on Instagram: “This is wrong way too early. #stillcelebratingChristmas.” Instagram user @machinzoe wrote: “So wrong on all levels.”

At the time, Alison Coombes said: “For God's sake, give it a rest, we've not even had New Year yet.” Instagram user @michk44 commented: “Push push push… more marketing for Easter."

Instagram user @vhenson1 wrote: “Make it stop!” User @shimere_84 said: “No! No! No! It’s still Christmas! At least wait until the 12 days are over.”

User @marie_birbeck wrote: “Haven't even took me Xmas decs down yet [sic].” Stacey Twinem said: “Seriously, give it a rest, Xmas was not even a week ago, it's not even the New Year and there's Easter stuff... just no.”

Elaine Fuller commented: “Way too early… get them off the shelves.” Lyndsey Houghton added: “Nope, nope, nope. Easter eggs are for March onwards.”

However, user @mood4fooduk wrote: “I’m dreaming of a white Crème Egg.” User @jeanette1236 seemed to agree. They said: “Yummy!”

User @mrsclarkescleaning commented: “I’m on my way.” Meanwhile, user @sarahs_sw_diary added: “Love them..”
