Love the ones from Big W!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it like all things we had as kids, they got smaller as we grew up (bigger hands), but really just stayed the same size? No, I agree, they did keep shrinking them. They sold "48" in a box... didn't matter what size they were...you still got "48"...-G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the ones from Big W!!!Glad I am not the only one who thought that the flavour and size had changed of the beacon marshmallow eggs. I always used to peel the layers one at a time, but they are just too small now to do that. I still cannot resist buying them when I see them, but am disappointed when I eat them.

The ones from NZ are better anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rozellem Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Slightly off topic.....I wonder if those real looking, white easter eggs you get in RSA is a home grown invention, as I have never seen them in any other country. We get it here at the RSA shop and last year I went after Easter, and they had boxes of them that had been dropped, so they sold them off cheaply.

zoot Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 And now that you have shared that exciting news with us there wont be any again they will all have been bought out. I got onto my friends in Perth to let them know the good news and they were going to make a special trip there to get some. The eggs are definately not as good as they used to be - I find the marshmallow is very sugary and grainy but I still cant resist them so will have to get my friend to keep me a box.Does anyone know if it is only the Big W in Perth that is stocking them or are they in Big W in other cities?

And I don't think the other poster is upset with you.We're all just Beacon marshy addicts and we need our fix...

Leon Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Not upset at all, just found it very funny (entertaining) that after I said I saw it there a whole expedition followed on whether it was actually Beacon eggs or not. The Big W I bought mine is the one at Karrinyup (north of the river) have no idea if it is available anywhere else but I would expect it would as I don't think Big W will only be selling this in one store? Probably a Saffer working for them driving this.The problem is if you start eating them you can't stop. To much sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordy Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 The problem with forums is that one cannot guess what the tone of reply implied by simple looking at the text the person typed. I myself am guilty of this and have assumed incorrectly on ocassion. For this reason there are things called emoticons which can help with expressing the tone. For example:read the following replyThats what I said to start off with! versusThats what I said to start off with! versusThats what I said to start off with! Now for out loud, use the emoticons so that we dont with each other, otherwise someone's feelings are going to get . Now kiss and and lets move on.
