WE swear the same thing happens every year but we never learn, and here we find ourselves again. Yes, Creme Eggs are now available in shops, even though it’s January and Easter isn’t for ages.
Forget Brexit: this really is the issue that divides the nation. Is it a good thing that we can enjoy the chocolatey goodness in January, or is it just too darn early?
Some people are loving it – hey, the start of the year is a grim time, and many will grasp at happiness wherever they can.

Well, a good thing about January is that Creme Eggs are back.

Some are even so bold as to suggest that Creme Eggs shouldn’t be seasonal.
Creme eggs should be an all year round thing. Not up for debate. Case closed

How mad is it you can only get creme eggs at a certain time of the year
— Rachel Murray (@RachaelMurrayX) January 7, 2017
Others have a love-hate relationship with Creme Eggs: happy they’re back, but sad that they’ve now eaten a few too many.

Whereas purists are outraged – it’s just to early!
Mini Eggs and Creme Eggs are on shelves… Already?!?

It's too early for Creme Eggs.

And then some people are opting to exclude themselves from this Creme Eggs narrative entirely.
Feel like I'm the only person in the world who HATES creme eggs
