So imagine my surprise when, in the closing “can’t stop thinking about” section, the urbane Scott Detrow, who wears grown-up glasses, mentioned the dying days of this year’s Creme Egg season. But I suspect the Creme Egg is the only product whose sale is regulated by the appearance of a full moon after the vernal equinox. But no specific brand has anything like the resonance of the Creme Egg.) We don’t need to go into these again, but, suffice to say, the coincidence of Lent with Creme Egg season adds another layer of transgression to their consumption. I want my Creme Egg in June.
