Kinder Bueno Eggs! NOT!

My lovely postie just delivered a small box which has Kinder bueno eggs written all over it. It had my name and address on a sticky label at the top.
I rushed inside, carefully peeled of the tape holding the box shut (trying not to damage the contents). I excitedly lift the lid to find......

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING (except two holes where my two small eggs should have been) :mad:

There was a leaflet inside, so I contacted Kinder to let them know that unfortunately with the contents being advertised on the box so clearly, someone had probably found the temptation too much to bear (OR it may have been an over-sight on their part). :rolleyes:

While writing this post, I have just received an email from Kinder thanking me for letting them know and that a replacement will be on it's way soon :T:T

Yippeee, I will get my easter choccy after all! :j:j

(Not sure if this was a comp or a freebie as I cannot find anything when searching)

UPDATE: I have received a plain brown box which contained a bag full of small Kinder Bueno Eggs. I am a very happy bunny! :easter_ba :D

    Mine arrived as well & I don't remember when or where I applied for it!

    I only have 1 little egg in there despite the box having 2 egg holes in there. I reckon someone have taken 1 egg & left the other egg there :mad:

    Despite 1 egg missing/stolen, it is still a nice Easter surprise :T

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Got mine on Saturday. I packet = 2 eggs + 1 wife + 1 Son = 1 Packet 0 eggs. They were apparently very nice but very small.

    They did let me keep the Nikwash inner garment wash prize though.

    I must be doing somthing wrong now or in a previous life.
