I’ll start this off by saying this. “I’m not a big fan of candy and sweets” – probably because my parents used to scare me by talking about getting cavities and then having to see… the dentist. Like some kids, I am also afraid of dentists and their (dental) drills medical equipment. But every year, around Easter, I, too, like Samantha also see a lot of commercials and in-store promotion
for these…

and these…

There would always be a whole aisle full of chocolatey sweets and sugar-coated candy tempting me.

Aside from that though, I absolutely agree with Samantha that these eggs are intensively distributed when they appear and the stores are able to mark-up the prices for these chocolates due to the limited availability time. The commercials, the nearly ubiquitous product, and the association with Easter serve to remind consumers of the limited time of its existence and create demand.

One day, a friend of mine invited me to try a mini egg. Très délicieux! To be honest though, as adorable and delicious as it was, I can’t justify paying $1.99 for 42 grams. Maybe that’s just me and by fear of the dentist?
