The internet is in meltdown as some Australian supermarkets put hot cross buns in the aisles one day after christmas.

Outrage spread evenly a-cross many social media networks, as shoppers hunting for Boxing Day baragains came across the hot cross buns in the bakery sections at various. Coles supermarkets.

Easter 2019 is 17-weeks away.

Mainstream media pick up the hot cross bun debate

Coles defended the hot cross bun meltdown.

“While some people may object to hot cross buns before Easter, early sales of the traditional treat suggest that most of us clearly can’t get them early enough,” Coles Category Manager Freddie Hancock said.

“Many customers now expect to be able to munch down on a hot cross bun as soon as they polish off their Christmas leftovers, with many social media posts bemoaning that the buns were not available on Boxing Day.”

Coles will roll out their hot cross buns on Saturday, while Woolworths is holding off until January 2.

So far no sightings of Easter Eggs in store.

First world problems.
