Isn’t there supposed to be a chocolate bunny in the bottom half of the box where the cut out is?

Not only that, but the egg on the box is actual size too. It just looks smaller in that picture because most of it is covered in cardboard. Here’s the same box in good lighting.

Seems the asshole here is OP.

Or the person who gifted this to OP after eating the bunny

Unlikely. The simplest explanation is generally most plausible, either:

  1. OP got an already opened box from someone, failed to notice the box was already open, failed to read the text in the box, failed to notice the prominent chocolate bunny on the box, failed to understand the purpose of the cardboard in the box, accidentally obscured text on the box with poor lighting, unintentionally took a misleading picture, and posted it into the internet as a genuine complaint.

  2. Or, OP saw protective cardboard around a fragile hollow chocolate egg and decided to lie on the internet.

The box was clearly designed for a larger egg. The fact they made the image the same size doesn’t neglect the fact that shrinkflation has occurred.

The only reason the box size hasn’t changed is to fool buyers on the potential size of the egg. If it was box was correctly sized, most people would have selected a different egg.

The bottom right of the packaging seems to imply so

(Checks notes…) looks like Lindt. And if they get away with it, expect to see it happen a lot more often, from them & others who follow their lead. :-(

OP took out the bunny before taking the pic. There is both an egg and a bunny in that box and they are both similarly sized as advertized on the packaging.

Not defending anytime that this crops up in other products, but it’s a gift packaging for an Easter egg… hardly the kind of NFSF that’s going to impact your life every day

Speaking as a designer, someone who is not getting paid enough to feel their soul chip away one project at a time.
