Interesting Facts

The average child in the UK receives 8 chocolate eggs over Easter. (If they ate them all in one go they will have consumed 8,000 calories. I wonder if there is such a thing as chocolate poisoning.)

The shell of a Cadbury’s Creme Egg is not made from Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate. (It used to be, but they changed the recipe. Dear Cadbury, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.)

Unilever, the company behind the brands Marmite and Pot Noodle have teamed up with chocolate film Kinnerton, to produce Marmite, and Pot Noodle flavour Easter eggs. ( This is for +Xeb eke . Post by Marmite . )

The modern Easter Egg box was designed in the 1950’s by a couple of Americans who noticed how  light bulbs were packaged. (Two designers, Bill Horry and John Waddington were inspired by the open cartons used for light bulbs. As they were cheap and easy to make and they provided space and protection for the fragile eggs. Their prototype was developed by Cadbury’s Design Office, and first used for a Roses Easter egg – it’s the origin of all the Easter egg cartons you see in the shops today. I'm afraid these boxes are wasted on me, as I make my own eggs - the only transport problem I have is from the mould to my mouth.) Source: Cadbury's
