Easter is the holy Christian holiday celebrating Jesus Christ returning from the dead.
● The world’s tallest chocolate Easter egg was made in Italy. It was measured at 10.39 metres tall and weighed in at 7,200 kg. The egg was taller than a giraffe and heavier than an elephant.
● The average time to start on your first easter egg is around 11am on Easter Sunday Morning.
● However, 43% of children admit giving in to temptation before the big day.
● The world’s most expensive edible Easter egg was made in 2006. It was created by La Maison du Chocolat and had over a hundred half-carat diamonds encrusted into the shell – it had a whopping $100,000 price tag on it.
● About 180 million eggs are purchased for Easter annually. On average, a child in the US receives 8-10 easter eggs. That’s double their recommended calorie intake for a whole week.
● Enough Cadbury’s Creme Eggs are made in Birmingham every year to make a pile ten times higher than Mount Everest if you put them on top of each other. Over 1.5 million are produced every day.
● 58% of children consider chocolate to be the most important part of Easter, with 30% eating their egg instead of breakfast.
● That lovely crocodile pattern often seen on chocolate eggs comes from Germany and was designed to cover any imperfections during production – not just to make it look pretty.
● Easter chocolate sales make up 10% of the annual spending on chocolate.
● The largest ever Easter egg hunt was in Florida, where 9,753 children searched for 501,000 eggs.
● When people eat a chocolate Easter bunny, 76% bite the ears off first, 5% go for the feet and 4% opt for the tail.
The custom of giving eggs at Easter has been traced back to Egyptians, Persians, Gauls, Greeks and the Romans, for whom the egg was a symbol of life.

Interesting chocolate and Easter egg information. I’d like to shorten that pile of chocolates that could reach ten times higher than Mount Everest! 🙂
