Thornton's have come up trumps again with egg-cellent Easter PR Story.

They have created five [Easter eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easter-2025) bearing the faces of Gordon Brown, Victoria Beckham, David Beckham, Lily Allen and Prince Harry. These people were chosen as they "represent a spectrum of British culture." Yeah, yeah but we are just talking about [chocolate eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gnaw-chocolate-eggs) with famous people's faces on here, folks!

They did however get some pretty awesome people to do their eggs as it were:

Giving the whole chocolate thing street cred they worked with design duo Id-Iom, best known for their graffiti-style art.
Designer Henry Holland decorated an egg using his trademark colours
Tattooist Louis Molloy did a swallows and bluebirds tattoo design
Patissier Eric Lanlard made an egg lavishly decorated with [gold leaf and sugar crystal pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-chocolat-easter-chocolate).

Predictably E Bay is involved (YAWN) and the eggs will be auctioned for charity. Quite why anyone would want to eat Gordon Brown's face is beyond me though.
