A content creator from Pretoria couldn't stop raving about the giant chocolate smash egg from Woolworths, created as a delicious centrepiece for Easter celebrations.
The clip was shared on her TikTok account @alysha_jaid on 28 March 2026, where it went viral, gaining 497K views and comments from divided viewers.
The woman noted that she had gone to Woolies to get her weekend top-up things and a chocolate mousse, which she called the best, when she spotted a giant chocolate smash egg. She was immediately drawn to it and explained that it has a white caramel mousse with a sponge cake oozing with caramel, while showing the giant egg. She then promised to show viewers how the R500 giant egg looked.
The Woolworths giant easter egg
After lifting the egg's top, she showed a levelled bottom filled with chocolate mousse and caramel. In awe of its beauty, she said it had all the chocolate mousse a person can think of, with the cake layers at the bottom. TikTok user @alysha_jaide was also impressed by the cake's smell and noted that she wasn't going to smash the egg until her daughter Ava had woken up from her nap. When the little girl was up, she smashed the egg, and they tasted the cake with the mother saying it tasted like peppermint crisp with mousse.

"I will not spend R500 on this. I can afford it, but no."
User @Grecian Langeveldt commented:
"I will spend R500 anytime on this because if you can spend R500 on a bottle of wine, then that's nothing. I'm just saying."
User @Bri🇿🇦 said:
"When you find out that Checkers and Woolworths use the same supplier for the chocolate mousse👀, and yes, I did a blind taste test. I couldn’t tell the difference, hey😅."
User @The executioner added:
"Not worth the R500 expense 😳."
User @mothowamotho commented:
"I see lots of people saying they can't spend R500 on this egg, but they can spend R700 or more when going to a restaurant. We need to enjoy life while we can and not complain about how expensive Woolworths is. We only live once."

"R500, yoh! 🙈 It looks delicious, but the price, eish."
