That's absolutely mental. So I take it you bought it? Cheeky little 25 days of September?

    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.

    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 sure it’ll be fine four months from now.

    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.

    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.

    Buy a giant bag of Halloween candy and call it a Christmas advent calendar.

  • It's not even Halloween yet, it's like as soon as August rolls around people can't wait for the year to end
