So guess where the indoor Sports centre is... It's interesting to hear from an inside view how the decisions are made to stock the shelves, but you're absolutely right, so long as people keep buying them, the chains will keep selling them. They don't make money by looking after our best interests now do they... Well spotted Paul, Menai it is. So guess where the indoor Sports centre is…

Working for a large retailer i can tell you its all about the sales to them. Easter eggs are a impulse line people buy on top of their usual list, eggs get sent to our stores to fill empty space after "back to school" stock has sold thru in the last week of January. Customers say "oh easter already" but then they pick it up and buy it! I think its to early but whilst people keep buying them stores will keep selling them... Photo looks like Menai?

This must be what goes through the minds of 'junk food junkies' when they walk into a KFC or Macca and scan the menu board. Mind you, Maccas has already clued onto that one. They put out a new fancy frilly burger nearly every week! What's the deal with Weight Watchers partnering with Maccas anyway? What the? I liken this comment you made ….[fourth paragraph]
