That's a very good point - it doesn't actually say "December" on it anywhere :)
Even if it did, I think we'd be safe; the Christmas police don't start their shift til December.
I'm a chocoholic and I've always found these things to be pathetically inadequate for satisfying my love of chocolate.
To be fair, nothing on the face of this box indicates any relation to chocolate anyway, except the company brand by implication. My only other clue as an outsider was that the wording "Dairy Milk" was just a little too weird to be taken at face value.
Man, can you imagine just 24 sachets of curdled milk...
It's the cheapest bottom of the barrel shit batch they can crank out because kids have no idea, all they taste is sugar.
Seen similar locally. Went in a B&M and the Xmas aisle dwarfs the Halloween aisle. It used to be little Xmas stuff until after firework night (November 5th).
It's a funny old world but I'm not always laughing.
Morrisons has mine pies for sale. Not sure if they’re last years or this years.
Mince pies are made all year round and then stockpiled for the season. Same for Christmas puddings and cake and Easter eggs.
I bet they are the bomb!
Sorry couldn't resist that.
Probably doesnt count but my local Tesco (Hertford) still has 2 packs of Christmas marzipan on their 'bargain/reduced' shelf. They've been there since January but have a sell by date sometime in 2026 - don't know why they didn't just kept them on the shelf for this year.
I’m sure it’ll be fine four months from now.
Broke: Advent calendars are for December only
Woke: Advent calendars can be used every month
Except February for not being a woke month
With the economy the way it is, you’d be surprised just how many people need to pick up bits and pieces slowly over the next few months as they can’t afford the December markup and big spend on everything Xmas.
It's not even Halloween yet, it's like as soon as August rolls around people can't wait for the year to end
I learnt the other day that in the Philippines, they start christmas celebrations in September.
No.
That's it I'm cancelling xmas in protest.
Buy a giant bag of Halloween candy and call it a Christmas advent calendar.
