Rabbiting On!

One day last week I had cause to be in Woolworth (a grocery supermarket for overseas readers), with a friend, who was looking for a particular item in the frozen food section. Walking around the end of an aisle I came face to face with an amazing sight, that made me laugh and I called my friend to come and look. It was a display of chocolate rabbits. I thought it looked extremely attractive and eye catching and I chuckled to myself, wishing I had my camera with me.

Unsuccessful in her search, my friend and I proceeded to another store nearby, and, yes I was fascinated to find another, smaller army that made me smile again.

Yesterday, knowing that I was going to be returning to the original store, I remembered to take my camera to record for your delight and my on going amusement photographic evidence of the eye catching display.

There is something about repetitiveness that I find appealing, lines of identical objects or people in uniform, for example an army on parade at the trooping the colour at Horse guards parade in London.
So it was for me with these chocolate Easter rabbits, all wrapped in gold foil, facing the same direction in staggering numbers.

So fascinated was I that I came home and did my sums. In that double sided display there would have been 2.048 bunnies. At an individual price of $4, that display was worth a cool $8,192! Just one display in one store. I might add that around this display were others of different size, shape, wrapped rabbits, which in total would have amounted to a very significant dollar value.

Whilst I gained great joy from viewing the army, I wonder what that says about our society regarding our value of Easter? There was surely more to it than chocolate rabbits?

Keep your eyes peeled for delightful sights...
