    I get that eggs are in a lot of recipes, but people’s obsession with them is still surprising to me. There are so many other foods to choose from.

    Wouldn’t kids prefer to find something they actually want, rather than an egg (or especially a potato)? I know the fertility symbolism but I’d still rather look for candy bars.

      It’s a nice way to teach children to eat something nutritious and healthy. They love the painted eggs and don’t mind it’s not a candy bar. They also do usually get some chocolate eggs as well, there’s really no reason to make the sugar dose even bigger.

      Eggs are easier to hide, candy bars not so much. Plus the Easter Bunny doesn’t lay candy bars so your idea wouldn’t really make sense with the lore and all.
