Marks and Spencer launch Easter egg cheese and it's left shoppers divided

Easter is almost here and the first day of spring is just four days away with it set to kick off on March 20 - this upcoming Sunday.

You'll notice that people have been decorating their shops with all things Easter-themed and the shelves are full of chocolate.

It's not only the shops that are Easter central, with social media becoming rife with pictures about what egg to buy this year and where to go to get the best decorations.

But if you don't fancy sweet treats anytime soon and would rather stick to the savoury aisle - this next creation could be for you.

However whilst some people find it a nice idea, others have been left confused by it.

Taking to the Food Finds UK Facebook page, one Marks and Spencer shopper said: "Cheese or Chocolate? Egg-shaped blocks of Cheddar Cheese from M&S!"

In response some said they wanted to head down to the shops straight away with one commenting: "Feel an M&S shopping spree is on the cards."

But one shopper wasn't convinced by the product saying: "Sure makes sense, spend an extra quid on the same cheese they always sell because 'OMG it's EGG-shaped!!!'"

Another agreed, writing: "It's totally pointless."

The Easter themed dairy product states that it is a Easter egg shaped block of "rich and full flavoured mature cheddar cheese" though there is no mention of how much the item retails for.

What's your opinion on this - a waste of time or do you think it's worth buying for Easter? Let us know in the comments.
