That's absolutely mental. So I take it you bought it? Cheeky little 25 days of September?
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 sure it’ll be fine four months from now.
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.
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.
Morrisons has mine pies for sale. Not sure if they’re last years or this years.
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.
Mince pies are made all year round and then stockpiled for the season. Same for Christmas puddings and cake and Easter eggs.
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.
What are those numbers for?
It's an advent calendar, the numbers are for little doors.
You open each of the 25 little doors each day leading to Christmas day, and there's a treat behind each door.
Ours only has 24 (as we don't celebrate on the 25.) I feel cheated now, eventhough I'd never buy one of these. XD
It's an Advent Calendar. You open one door every day during Advent, in the run up to Christmas.
No.
That's it I'm cancelling xmas in protest.
I learnt the other day that in the Philippines, they start christmas celebrations in September.
