Dear Dish on Mini Eggs
Dear Dish:
Now that all the questionable SAD-related activities are behind us, we can move on to bigger and better holidays: specifically, Easter.
As with every North American holiday, we are pummelled with boatloads of festive merchandise. Enter the mini egg. God bless those little things. But now, now there's the mini-mini egg! Behold! It's extra-tiny! Batman discussion aside, there are now two different types of mini eggs to choose from.
Which is better Dish? Please report back.
Sincerely,
A Chocolate Fancier
Dear Fancier:
Dish thinks that Micro Mini Eggs are a crock. Who wants a smaller treat with less chocolate? If anything they should be enlarging the Mini Egg into a Macro Mini Egg, although that takes us into oxymoron territory. Dish also warns you not to fall for the Popping Mini Eggs, which are your regular old school Mini Eggs with pop rocks in them. Instead of acheiving a "together at last" scenario, Cadbury ended up with a "why didn't I just get regular Mini Eggs" disappointment (much like the Coke with lime scenario).
Readers should also note that Mini Eggs aren't just for Easter any more. Christmas Mini Eggs are now also sold. Dish is just one victim. Who can resist a Mini Egg? Yet clearly this is just a money-making scheme since eggs have nothing to do with Christmas. Don't even get me started about egg nog, especially given that the French equivalent is lait de poule. Chicken's milk? Could a more repulsive name for a beverage possibly be found?
In any case, Dish strongly advises against the Micro Mini Egg. We live in North America. Bigger is what we do best. Why try to change that?
