UK | Were you riled with jealousy watching your children devour their chocolate advent calendar each morning whilst you had nothing?
As we get closer to Easter, chocolate egg availability becomes limited - allowing adults to get priority of the remaining chocolate, age restrictions will now apply to all Waitrose own brand Easter eggs.
When customers scan their chocolate eggs at the tills, they will be met with a prompt and asked for ID if they do not appear to be over the age of 18.
“This year’s Easter range was developed with grown-ups in mind, and as we get closer to the big day and stock becomes limited, we have decided it would only be right to give priority to the adults,” said Maddy Wilson, Own Brand Director at Waitrose.
“With Speckled Eggs hand made by a third generation chocolatier, a Chocolate Croissant which blends creamy chocolate with feuilletine wafer and caramel pieces and Italian Nougat made to a family recipe passed down three generations, it is much too good for children anyway.”
