G'morning Aleksej, 

 ARS> Thanks. You too. :-) I'm not sure I have, though. Maybe it
 ARS> is shifted a week. ;) And what are the "chocolate Easter
 ARS> Eggs"? Never saw such. ;-) Just usual colored eggs.

Usual colored eggs ?  Hand-painted hard-boiled eggs ?

Here in New Zealand,  they have a Cadburys factory down in Dunedin 
that floods the place with rich, milk chocolate.

Over the years, Easter eggs made out of Caburys chocolate have 
become the tradition,  and now we get buried at Easter time in 
chocolate eggs of every possible size,  filled with marsh-mellow 
or nuts or smaller chocolates or sweeties or whatever.

They come boxed, foil- and plastic-wrapped in all manner of 
different ways - and they are displayed and advertised for six 
weeks or more.

Our corner-shops and supermarkets fill up with the things  -  and 
by Easter Sunday they have all gone ! All sold !!  And all eaten 
!!!  (Ironically,  the health authorities here are jumping up and 
down about our very fat children - and even fatter adults !)

In my English youth,  the odd painted hard-boiled egg appeared at 
Easter-time (out of the WW2 rations),  but there wasn't much  
chocolate at all, let alone turned into eggshapes.  However, 
living in NZ,  one can easily imagine the rest of the world 
groaning under chocolate eggs at Easter.

Wrongly, it seems !

Sorry about that...

:-))
