Here at The Trading Post we have been checking out some online reviews for some of our most popular products, as posted on the websites of some of the UK’s biggest supermarkets. We’ve then compiled the results, to give us a near-scientific meta-score of these reviews. At the same time we’ve had a look at some of our favourite reviews and tried to make some overall sense of what people are thinking… Here is PART 2 of our very exciting Easter Special!

Sainsbury’s: 5 stars (4 reviews)

Review Highlights:
Great
Lovely just to snack on when you get that chocolate urge!
Sainsbury’s website (5 stars)
TP: This person will eat Easter eggs whenever they get “that chocolate urge.” This seems to be a very specific, and perhaps uncontrollable, chocolate urge. Whilst we think many people would consider Easter eggs to be a very particular type of confection, to be eaten at very a particular time of the year, this reviewer’s intimation that they are “lovely to snack on” present the refreshing idea of Easter eggs as a suitable “snack” at any time… on the train when commuting to work, in the park with friends, or perhaps just at your desk in the office.
Great texture and good price!
I bought this and my children loved it. As always .
Sainsbury’s website (5 stars)
TP: What would you say was the best thing about Cadbury chocolate Easter eggs?
No one:
No one ever:
This one Sainsbury’s reviewer: texture.
WHAT? They have picked “texture” out as their primary plus-point. They have discerned that the texture of this chocolate is extremely favourable, presumably when compared with other chocolate. This person’s appreciation of texture is clearly much more finely-tuned that we can imagine. They are a marvel.
MY FAV
Always the first egg i buy when the eggs come out, love that the buttons are in the egg and not in the bag anymore as that is how I remember them when I was a kid.
Sainsbury’s website (5 stars)
TP: To start, full CAPITALS in the title and, enthusiastically, a possible misspelling of FAVE. Then absolute approbation, borne of nostalgia, of the Cadbury buttons being loose inside the chocolate egg. A technical marvel that also reduces the need for excess packaging in an ecologically-sensitive way. Surely something everyone can enjoy…
Much smaller than last years egg.
Much smaller than last year plus loose buttons inside, not value for money anymore and going back years with the unpacked buttons.
Tesco website (1 star)
TP: Apparently some people think that extra packaging is a good thing. They love to fill that recycling bin. Wasn’t the past great, when we had all that plastic packaging. Here nostalgia is for a presumably more recent past (than the Sainsbury’s reviewer above) when there was abundant plastic packaging with EVERYTHING. These were halcyon times for our Tesco customer. They are clearly the sort of people who go to the airport and shrink wrap their bags with the special machine… not for safety or security… just for the plastic/inconvenience/wastage/destruction of mother earth/addition cost/LOLs.
,Cadbuiry
,Cadbuiry have reduced the size, no way are these mediium, I bought a selection of Cadbury eggs and they are very small. Will have to buy some chocolate bars to add to them, too embarassed to give them on their own
Tesco website (2 stars)
TP: Leading from the front, this Tesco review of the “,Cadbuiry” Giant Buttons Easter Egg refers (like the Mini Eggs ones above) to Tesco’s addition of an “M” to the picture. This customer has size-based embarassment. We were going to say something about the relatability of wanting to give someone a treat but being concerned about it not being big enough, but decided against it in case it was misinterpreted.
Again?
