I cannot open the link.

What is a "gesture egg".

As a kid I painted faces on them but I feel that is not what is meant.

I can’t open it either KKOB. Thought it was maybe something I was doing wrong, but apparently not....,!

Cadbury no longer sell Easter Eggs. So as not to offend non-christians they are now marketed as Gesture Eggs. No doubt it's also a ploy to enable them to market them throughout the year.

               I will continue to buy Easter Eggs, and make an appropriate gesture to Cadbury's P C Products.

"Not to offend the non- christians".

Who could these be, I wonder?

Let's ban meat and therefore not offend Hindus.

Ban bacon and not offend Jews. (I'd rather that than ban foreskins, please).

Ban alcohol and not offend the Muslims.

Ban electricity and not offend the Amish.

Will we be closing the churches next?

Ban the crucifix?

I'll never, ever be allowed to be cross again. I'll have to be angry or miffed.

Churches. Crucifixes. Cross. Christian.

There's only a few "C" words I can think of that are left and they include words to describe Cadbury.

What a crock of crap.

Of course, the owners of Cadbury are American and they don't care.

They don't really "get" Easter over there. It's not even a public holiday.

Christmas next. Winterval or whatever it is to become.

I feel a bit miffed and I shoudn't because I'm a blooming athiest!

........and I like Cadbury's chocolate, especially the Bourneville Plain.

My principles are not strong enopugh to exclude Cadbury chocolate from my diet but I am miffed at their decision.

Have you been living in a cupboard?

There's no longer a Christmas !

It's the Festive Season during which we are 'encouraged' to offer Seasons Greetings.

Maybe they are concerned about offending non-Christians. The truth is, the non-Christians nearly always couldn’t give a toss.
