    I like quizzes and I have found several Easter quizzes online that I would like to share with other BC members.

    Here is some interesting trivia about American kids, candy and Easter:

    * In 2000, Americans spent $1.0 billion on candy for Easter.

    * Sixty billion chocolate Easter bunnies are created each year.

    * Most American children eat the ears off a chocolate bunny first.

    * Every Easter, 600 million Peeps (marshmallow candies) are created.

    * During Easter season, Americans consume 15 million jelly beans.

    * The jelly bean was created in America by a Boston candy man.

    * Most children like to eat jelly beans one at a time.

    Meh I got frustrated with the answers because they were not accurate.

      Which quiz did you try?

      Erm, one of them - the easter one. It's not that the answers were incorrect - it's that they're factually misleading. I'm too cranky for that right now

      I know what you mean. I try to overlook these things but they are annoying.

      My scores were:
      (1) 80%
      (2) 90%
      (3) 100%

    My daughter doesn't have the heart to eat anything cute. I learned the hard way after buying her a giant chocolate Rudolf one Christmas...so I buy her regular chocolate.

    Peeps are made here in PA. Most people bite the heads off first!

    We eat jelly beans all year long. Toured the Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield, California. Excellent tour. It's just off the highway btwn Sacramento and Napa. There, we learned to combine flavors. Example- 2 apple, 1 cinnamon + 1 marshamallow is apple pie ala mode (and it really is!)

      I eat the ears first ... lol The jelly bean factory tour sounds like a fun tour to take. I'm amazed jelly beans are so popular. I'm not really keen on them myself.

      I'm not surprised that you did well in 3. Almost everyone has been indoctrinated in Christianity. I also got 100%.
