Mmm, Cadbury Mini Eggs…
I couldn’t care less about regular-type Cadbury Eggs. Simulating eating raw eggs isn’t one of my favorite pastimes, so I’ve always opted for the small, all chocolate eggs from Cadbury. If these were sold year round, I would probably never need M&Ms.
Warner Bros. made their fair share of feature length mashups using classic Looney Tunes cartoons and some new filler animation in between. Bugs Bunny’s Easter Funnies is exactly that, a collection of shorts weaved into a new sublot where Bugs has to fill in for the Easter Bunny when he falls ill. I’m a huge fan of the Looney Tunes, and I don’t mind these long-form specials because it lets me sit back and watch a good hour’s worth of shorts all at once.
If you’re like me, you’ve always wondered where the Easter Bunny came from, and most who’s better to explain that to us than Burl Ives? Thats about what The First Easter Rabbit from Rankin/Bass Productions is, and thats fine by me.
I wasn’t around for the first airing of The First Easter Rabbit on TV, and I never remember seeing it in reruns, but I’m sure a lot of you remember it. Basically, it’s a short tale of a girl with a stuffed rabbit named Stuffy. A fairy decides that people need a symbol for Easter so they can remember when it is (no joke), so she turns Stuffy into The Easter Rabbit.
Nothing says easter like Reese Eggs. I usually try to hork down 3 or 4 packages every season, and last night my wife and I found something awesome on a routine snack run. A giant Reese Egg. It was practically calling our names from its display. We grabbed one and hit the check out.
We decided to be somewhat reasonable and split one instead of each getting one and being dead today. I let her do the honors. It looked like a pretty standard Reese Egg, just jumbo size.
It does taste a little different, just because the ratio of chocolate to peanut butter is different. I think the regular-type Reese Eggs have the perfect ratio going, this one had to have a lot thicker chocolate. All in all, it was a good snack, don’t know if it was worth the $3 plus we paid for it, but hey, Easter candy only comes around once a year.
