Hot cross buns have been on sale continuously for some years. At all the supermarkets I've been in. (Not the same buns - they do change the stock.)

Someone needs to be brought to task for that.

It's only a couple of days until the chocolate bunnies and eggs are out in the local supermarket, if last year is anything to go by.

{Sticks a sprig of holly in Comrade Doc Tor's heart.}
There, that's better. Very festive.

There's a market for this stuff all year round, just as there's a market for fruit and vegetables all year round so that people are gradually losing their awareness that certain foods are naturally available at particular times of year.
If you're going to complain about fake eggnog cartons turning up at what you apparently think is the wrong time of year for fake eggnog, have the decency to also complain about the sulphur dioxide-treated grapes being shipped across hemispheres, trans-Pacific asparagus and all the other stupid things that are based on the philosophy of telling customers that yes, they can have whatever they want whenever they want it like the spoiled children we've all become.
-------------------- Technology has brought us all closer together. Turns out a lot of the people you meet as a result are complete idiots.
