Onesie fun: Egg-siting Easter facts we bet you didn't know...

  Woohooo! It's Easter Sunday, which means... The end of Lent! Did you give anything up for Lent? Crisps, wine, cheese, eggs? The most popular thing to give up is chocolate, and today is the the day we can finally crack open those Easter eggs and catch up with all the chocolate we've missed out on! Did you know that on average, each child in the UK receives around 8 Easter eggs every year, and that 1 in 5 children have admitted to eating so much chocolate that they've made themselves ill! What's your favourite chocolate to eat at Easter? Mine has to be the Creme Egg.  The Cadbury's factory in Birmingham produces 1.5 million Creme Eggs everyday, now I love Creme Eggs, but 1.5 million?! I also enjoy having Easter Egg hunts! Did you know that the largest Easter egg hunt on record happened in Florida, and had 9,753 children looking for 501,000 eggs. That's a lot of children...and eggs. Once you've found the chocolate, the obvious thing to do next is eat it. When it comes to eating a chocolate bunny 76% people bite off the ears first, 5% choose the feet for their first nibble and 4% go for the tail. I always like to eat the ears first. The most expensive Easter Egg, to date, is the Diamond Stella Egg which was made from diamonds, came in at a HUGE £50,000. I think I'll just stick with your average Easter egg! Will you be indulging in chocolate today? Or even better, indulging in a onesie?  Our Easter Ears promotion is running until Tuesday 22nd April where you can get Free Ears for Easter.  Just order as normal, then enter EASTEREARS1 at the checkout.
