Everyone loves a nice Cadbury Creme Egg now and again, right? Despite the fact that - shock horror - it turns out that they're not actually that good for you, it's still nice to have a little treat every once in a while.
Well, even the most hardy Easter aficionado can't possibly love a Creme Egg as much as 30-year-old Jennifer Crockill does.
She reckons that she has spent more than £4,000 ($5,200) on Creme Eggs alone. Oh, and she's got a tattoo of her ovoid addiction on her lower back.
Apparently, her fixation began back when she was just a little girl. Jennifer, from Garston, Liverpool, claims that at one stage of her life she was eating one fondant-filled fancy every single day of her life. That's a hell of a lot of Creme Eggs, and a hell of a lot of sugar, too.
However, who can blame her? They are - after all - delicious. Relatively cheap, too. If you can get away with eating seven Creme Eggs each week, why the hell not?
She said: "I've loved Creme Eggs since I was a child; my mum would always go out of her way to get me some, knowing that they were my favourite.
"At one point, I'd eat a Creme Egg every day. I did this for 10 years which is around 3650 eggs in total."
"I have a few tattoos and was looking for some inspiration for a new one when I asked my usual tattoo artist, Sharron, if she'd do a Creme Egg on me - she of course said yes, and the rest is history.
"All of my friends know about my tattoo, they're forever taking the mick out of me for it!"
Her self-proclaimed 'obsession' with the chocolate eggs isn't just confined to the regular ones, either. She has every single type of Creme Egg that money can buy on top of that.
That's huge Creme Eggs, Creme Egg yoghurts and ice creams, and - presumably - a whole load of the new Creme Egg mayonnaise (still can't quite believe that is actually a real thing).
She continued: "My husband often jokes that if I had to choose between him and Creme Eggs, that I'd pick them over him!
"At one point, I was eating them so much that I'd often hide when eating them or wait for people to not be around because I was so embarrassed of my obsession for them.
"I've managed to calm in down a bit recently though as I'm part of a weight loss group, so can't have as many as I used to.

Sure, it's not the best for a diet, but there are definitely worse addictions to have...
