The tradition of giving decorated eggs dates back to ancient Mesopotamia, where they dyed chicken eggs during spring festivals. The chocolate version? That’s a 19th-century European invention.
In Bulgaria, they play a game of cracking eggs on Easter Sunday. The person whose egg remains uncracked longest has a year of good luck. So timing matters there too!
Also, the world’s largest chocolate egg weighed nearly 7,200 kilograms. I advise not giving that one on Easter Monday—you will ruin the picnic blanket.
