Eggs = fertility and the new year makes sense

Likewise bunnies and baby chicks.

it just feels like whatever the equivalent of a backronym is

I'm weirdly angry about this. Mainly about being forced to become a soul-less caricature of humanity, mr average, mr quiet, mr passive, mr diplo-freakin'-matic.

I hereby request my name be changed to Winston Smith, for it is that which I've been forced to become.

Cheers GrayhamS, and you're right it's a commercial simplification, however I support their mission wholeheartedly, as I believe most people would....if only they were aware of the reality of the situation.

Fair enough GFS. I appreciate your stance, not sure I share your optimism though. ๐Ÿ˜•

I'm weirdly angry about this.

Angry about what exactly?

A loony-lefty, minority-pandering, PC-garn-mad, ban on the word "Easter" by chocolate makers...

And I've got a non-denominational chocolate ovoid on my desk that says "Your Easter egg has been made with Cadbury Dairy Milk" on the packaging. So Cadbury aren't hiding it very well.

They're too busy hiding the reduction of milk and cocoa and the increase in sugar and vegetable oil (including palm oil) in their products to hide Easter.
