Easter by the Numbers

This year, Easter is on April 5^th. Get ready for its arrival with some fun Easter facts.

• Chocolate eggs were the original Easter candy. They were the first introduced in the 1800’s. Prior to the sweet addition, hot cross buns and pretzels were popular Easter treats.
• Peeps were first created in 1953. At the time, each peep took a lengthy 27 hours to produce. Today, the process is quite rapid, allowing millions of Americans to enjoy peeps with the snap of a finger.
• Chocolate bunnies are today’s most popular Easter candy option. A recent study indicated that 76 percent of people start with the ears when they enjoy their chocolate bunnies.
• Every Easter, Americans eat about 16 billion jelly beans. They are a favorite for stuffing into plastic eggs, and if you lined them up end to end, they would circle the globe almost 3 times.
• The traditions involving boiled and dyed eggs and chocolate eggs date back beyond the origins of Easter celebrations themselves. Eggs have always been associated with spring as a symbol of rebirth.
