“Wow....they are selling already dyed Easter eggs at the grocery store! Wow wow..”
This was my text that accompanied the picture that I took as soon as I came across these eggs in the dairy section.
It is the first full week of March. Easter is 34 days away. This post is not about so-called pagan practices or such, but about our microwave society. Trust me. I understand about being a wife and parent, amongst wearing other hats, having a super busy schedule and taking shortcuts for certain things in our lives for instance canned vegetables or take-out from time to time. Or for that matter, boxed cake mix versus made from SCRATCH! *Gasp!*
But PRE-DYED Easter Eggs?
Talk about bursting someone’s proverbial bubble!
I thought that was the whole point of dying the eggs. To use vinegar and food coloring and making a mess with our kids while decorating the eggs. Now they have other decorating kits where we can use special markers to write on the eggs or do a tie-dye method so to speak. Easter Eggs Haute Couture.
Who are they targeting with these “Ready Made” eggs? I am curious.
Would you buy these if you were in a pinch? Is this going overboard?
This takes the fun and joy out of spending time with the family and showing your son or daughter what happens when using vinegar and food coloring! Microwave society is right! Sad face over the loss of tradition! :-(
ReplyDeleteIf they're gonna do that, they may as well hide'em around the store, so the kids can find them. lol
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahaha! Good, so good is this comment! Really made me laugh because it is sooo true... Lol! Made me laugh again even if you didn't mean to be funny, I found it quite entertaining...
DeleteThanks
You bring home a poignant point about the direction our society is going. Sad, but true....
ReplyDeleteThis unfortunately is the way we've become. We are all too busy and somewhat lazy to do the simple things in life. Tradition has gone out the window in order to make room for easy and quick. It's very sad. . .
ReplyDeleteAlthough I agree that it takes the fun away - for an Easter egg hunt - it makes it simply - especially when you try to have 100 real eggs. What store and state was this - because they are not available in the stores I have visited.
ReplyDeleteThis was at Super Stop & Shop in Massachusetts...
