After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, French scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the French: in the weeks that followed, American archaeologists dug to a depth of 20 feet before finding traces of copper wire. Shortly afterwards, they published an article in the New York Times saying : “American archaeologists, having found traces of 250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the French.”
A few weeks later, ‘The British Archaeological Society of Northern England’ reported the following: “After digging down to a depth of 33 feet in the Skipton area of North Yorkshire in 2011, Charlie Hardcastle, a self-taught amateur archaeologist, reported that he had found absolutely f&*% all. Charlie has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Britain had already gone wireless.”

That requires forward planning. There are no Easter Eggs in the shops at the moment for some reason
But it would work if you think ahead and buy extra in March/April ready for next year.
Hope this helps

It wouldn't surprise me if there are by Christmas Eve.
As pointed out in another thread, Cadbury's Creme Eggs are already on sale.

I hasve tried them, but I just don't like the taste of them. Far too sweet and sickly for my taste.

I tried one once when they came out, horrible
I checked and it was 1971 when they appeared so I'd have been 9 years old.............sounds about right.
