A store licensed to sell Cadbury chocolates in the UK changed the name of Easter Eggs to Gesture Eggs. The post went viral when The Telegraph posted it.
Cadbury responded when Snopes contacted them. They said they were not changing the name of the eggs, and it was only one store. The store in question is a Cadbury outlet.
Freshstores Limited called the eggs ‘gesture eggs,’ whatever that means. It sounds like it’s coming from the Marxist left attempting to take down our culture, but they say they simply didn’t want to offend people of different faiths. Meanwhile, they offended Christians. That’s ok. The store hasn’t responded to inquiries except by saying they took the signs down.
The owners thought enough of the name to print signs up professionally. I’m guessing they’re Woke nuts.
Legal Insurrection reports:
it is being reported that this was not done at only one store.
This wasn’t the only shop selling the “Gesture” Eggs. Many other Cadbury outlet stores in Cheshire Oaks, Wirral, and Alfreton, Derbyshire, were also promoting them.
The BBC reported that parent company Mondelez issued this statement:
Cadbury has used the word Easter in our marketing and communications for over 100 years and continues to do so with our new Easter product range. To claim anything otherwise is factually incorrect. …
We have contacted Freshstore, the independent retailer who put up this poster in a very limited number of stores, and we understand they will be taking these posters down.
Cadbury’s Chocolate store slammed for renaming Easter Eggs ‘Gesture Eggs’ to avoid upsetting those of different faiths.
The chocolate company is selling the eggs at a branded Cadbury discount store in Lincolnshire, UK.

The name is ridiculous since it makes no sense. It was probably a trial balloon. Would these stores do it without checking with Cadbury?

Keep in mind that Easter is a pagan holiday anyway – with some serious anti-Christian details in the celebration. It isn’t something we are to celebrate, anyway. So, if people who call themselves Christians would look into Easter, they would drop that whole thing anyway. Get the book Two Babylons by Hyslop – it shows IN undeniable DETAIL that Easter AND Christmas should NOT be celebrated by a true sound doctrine Christian.
My religion prefers that Cadbury shoves its products where the sun don’t shine. I understand that’s where you can find their management enjoying themselves where not reading to five year olds while dressed as Queen Elizabeth.
If I see one of these in a local store, I will smash it. If I see any of the Cadbury eggs in my supermarket, maybe I will scramble them. Haha.
