B&M shoppers have been left horrified and urgently requesting the store to remove a popular Easter product from stores. The budget retailer took to Instagram just days after Christmas to announce it is selling Cadbury white chocolate Crème Eggs for just 49p.
However, given how at the time of uploading the post New Year's Day hadn't even arrived yet, many fans were calling the store out for its 'bad timing'. Some even branded the selling of the item 'so wrong on all levels' as several stated they 'haven't even taken their Christmas decorations down yet'.
Sharing a picture of a box of the Easter-themed chocolatey confectionary, B&M wrote: “Do we need to say anything? Probably yes – Cadbury White Creme Egg, in-stores now – in December - for 49p each. If you're still reading this... run to B&M before they're gone! Who fancies one?"

Although Easter isn't until April 9 this year, B&M still thought it would be a good idea to stock white Crème Eggs in December. The majority of commenters made their feelings on the matter very clear and were unimpressed by the decision - while others couldn't wait to bag themselves a sweet bargain.
Lisa Evans replied: “This is wrong way too early. #stillcelebratingChristmas.” Machine Zoe stated: “SO WRONG ON ALL LEVELS.” Henson urged: "Make it stop!!!" Shimere wrote: "No! No! No! It’s still Christmas! At least wait until the 12 days are over."
Lynz declared: "No one! It’s December." Miss Nat reminded the store: "It’s still Christmas." Marie typed: "Haven't even took me Xmas decs down yet." Twin Em added: "Seriously, give it a rest, Xmas was not even a week ago, it's not even the New Year and there's Easter stuff. Just no."
Elaine Fuller commented: “Way too early… get them off the shelves.” Lyndsey Houghton added: “Nope, nope, nope. Easter eggs are for March onwards.” Alison Coombes fumed: "For god's sake, give it a rest, we've not even had new year yet."
Colour Pompoms said: "Love B&M but please keep it seasonal." Dixie admitted: "Love a creme egg....... NOT WHITE ONES THOUGH." Mood For Food joked: " I’m dreaming of a White…Creme Egg."
