They've probably kept the receipt and are going to take them back to the store to get a refund.;)

God help you if, like round our way, you get snow after Valentine's day, because all the ice melt is gone, replaced by barbecues, Paddy's day and Easter.

All the Easter stuff is discounted already :confused:

Little marshmallow-y ducklings/chicks. Yellow/blue/pink spongy things covered in sugar. Quite nice really!

You'll have seen them in the shops I'd be prepared to bet.

That is corned beef out of the can. Typically from Brazil, Uruguay or Argentina. You can get that in the Caribbean or hispanic section in supermarkets in the US. Traditional staple of 1950s era British cuisine.

(EDIT: Yes it has LOTS of flavor. So much you could vomit after eating the whole can on your own.)
