Bunny Wars

Easter bunnies. Chocolate easter bunnies. Yummy yummy. We all know that the Easter bunny comes and gives all the good children chocolate eggs at Easter, and recently in the UK, there has been an increase in the number of golden chocolate bunnies sold. You know the ones - with the dinky red ribbon and bell. Well, Lindt, the huge chocolate conglomerate has taken the hump and says that only THEY are allowed to produce golden bunnies with a red ribbon - leaving a small Austrian firm who have made golden bunnnies with a red ribbon for 50 years, having to give theirs away. Surely, when you sell 60million bunnies a year, you can let a small firm sell theirs - most of us know what a Lindt bunny looks like, so if we choose to buy a Hauswirth one, we will doing so knowing it isn't a Lindt one! They don't just do bunnies either, in Paris last week, I saw Lindt eggs and bells, so we should expect to see them on sale here in the near future...
