Eggsactly; and by not having the word "Easter" on the packaging of their own brand eggs they can draw in sales from people who want to buy a special chocolate gift for other celebrations, such as birthdays.

I’ve just caught up with this thread and thought for a moment that it might have something to do with men’s shaving habits in the other thread, but no. Phew.

In a hotel a few years back with a group, and on the menu one evening one of the choices for dessert was “Spotted Richard” as the more common name had offended someone a few weeks before. (Sighs and holds head in hands).

The common name is an abbreviation for “puddick”  - pudding in dialect. So they’ve lost the meaning of the name by sanitising it.

Interesting. I quite like plum puddick.

Thanks for that Slightly batty, but I would suggest that rather than losing the meaning, they’ve lost the plot!
