What are your views conversing



‘TWAS the day after Christmas, when all through the shops, hot cross buns began materialising on shelves.

Shoppers are stirring at the sight of the Easter treat in some Woolworths stores before Christmas trees have even been taken down.

The premature arrival of the baked goods has caused mixed reactions from customers, who have praised and pummelled the supermarket chain on social media.

“You have never been more wrong. It’s a ... travesty that hot cross buns are been sold in December,” tweeted one.

“I’m all for hot cross buns being sold year round. I’d have them every day if I could. Kudos,” wrote another on Twitter.

Milan Smith called for a boycott in a post on Facebook.

“HOT CROSS BUNS: on sale already (Boxing Day) by the supermarkets that have CONSUMERISM VALUES instead of adhering to TRADITIONAL VALUES!,” her post said.



“Hot Cross Buns should not appear until one month prior to Easter — each to their own, but my recommendation is to ‘BOYCOTT’ purchasing Hot Cross Buns until 4 weeks before Easter and let the supermarket early-bird buns go UNSOLD!!”

Chris Smith was bemused by the wave of reaction.

“Gotta love people getting angry at Hot Cross Buns being on sale already,” he tweeted.

“I’ve never quite understood the anger, just don’t buy them?”


Woolworths responded to the fuss on Twitter to say they were selling them due to “overwhelming demand from our customers”.

A Coles spokeswoman said hot cross buns would not be sold until the new year.

But Target has already jumped on the Easter bandwagon, and has put out its Easter egg display a little early.

Nice target, people have more money at Christmas time, what, with holiday pay to stock up, rather than the effects of a hard out Christmas by March many are broke.

Yeah the other side of the coin, I bought a whole frozen turkey for five bucks last year. I see they've dropped from 55 to 50, I'll wait a month or two before investing. Meh, I don't really eat chocolate eggs, they'll be heaps cheaper April and may.

Eventually the true meaning of Easter and Christmas will be lost due to commercialism. blues

Hiya K wave hug

Re: Oranges,lemons,grapefruit etc.. for example...

A lot of peeps buy by the bag full ... they get home and whenever crave for an orange g/fruit etc ... only to find out they're all dried out and tastless.

How can we know what fruit and some veg is like until paid for and taken home. Who really takes fruit & veg back to the store after weighing up the cost of time fuel etc?
