'What the hell is a gesture egg?!' Cadbury store erases Easter as it launches chocolate 'gesture eggs'

more idiocy from the DEI types maybe

Gesture Egg

Yeah, it’s almost as idiotic as Bunny’s and eggs and celebrating an imaginary jew on Ishtar…

Well eggs and bunnies have nothing to do with Jesus’ resurrection. Those were taken from a pagan fertility religion and merged with Christianity. Clean up Christianity and actually celebrate the resurrection which consists of an empty tomb. Not candy and fertility. Jesus actually said to remember his death which saves us.

A Cadbury discount store is facing backlash as religious groups accuse the shop of erasing Easter by advertising chocolate eggs as "gesture eggs".

A display in the Springfields Outlet in Spalding, Lincolnshire offered customers a deal on "gesture eggs".

A children's event at the outlet store - which is an independent retailer run by Freshstore but licensed by Cadbury - has also sparked uproar as its advert includes no reference to Easter.

The removal of the word "Easter" has provoked anger among the Christian community.

Reacting to the "gesture eggs", one social media user said: "What is a woke gesture egg?! It’s an EASTER EGG given to celebrate Christian tradition in a Christian country."

Another added: "What the hell is a 'Gesture Egg'??? Time for a boycott."

A third said: "For the record @CadburyUK this is an EASTER egg!

"We buy them to celebrate Easter, a Christian holiday to celebrate Christ's resurrection. It is not a 'gesture egg'!!"

It is understood that every Cadbury Easter shell egg sold in the UK references "Easter" on the packaging.

The chocolate firm say that "Easter" is still used in Cadbury’s advertising and the promotional poster was created by the outlet store itself - which Cadbury had no involvement in.

Won't buy renamed anti Christian things, Cadbury!

A jester egg would have been better than a gesture egg.

Easter is a pagan holiday anyways. Easter eggs represent an offering to the fertility goddess Eoster. If you Christians participate in this garbage you're worshipping satan. It doesn't matter if you're "doing it for the kids" so they're not left out. YOU'RE WORSHIPPING SATAN AND LEADING YOUR KIDS TO THE PITS OF HELL. I hope your precious easter eggs are worth it.

The eggs and bunnies were never Christian things. Easter is named after Ishtar. A pagan fertility goddess.

No it's not, "Easter" evolved in English from a mix of old English and German/Dutch words Ooster, Ostern or Eastran. It's the english transliteration of the Greek "Pascha". The word and celebration itself has zilch to do with Ishtar. There may have been a spring pagan celebration of Ishtar, but Easter/Pascha has nothing to do with it. This was always the celebration of Christ's resurrection after great Lent.

It's WOKE terminology to boost sales, it's for all the other people that do not buy into or are offended by Easter.

The paganism of Jesus’ resurrection should offend Christians.

Jesus was real. There are secular accounts him being alive. And being crucified.
