The 7 Most Annoying Things About Easter
Easter is great and all — brunch, cute animals, charming pastels — but there are just a few facts that don't add up when it comes to the springtime celebration. Giant bunnies hiding eggs? Disgusting bird-shaped marshmallows? A perpetual seat at the "kids" brunch table? You're going to need more than your share of bunny-shaped chocolate to get through this family get-together. Here are the most annoying things about Easter.
Bunnies Don't Lay Eggs
I don’t even care if there is a legitimate explanation behind this pairing. It just doesn’t work that way.
Hollow Chocolate Bunnies
I, for one, remember the stifling disappointment that came with my first bite into a hollow chocolate bunny. But, hey, it’s slightly better than biting into a hollow chocolate religious figure — which was the original (and much more disturbing) Easter chocolate treat.
Easter Food
Ok, lamb and ham pass the test. But other than that, Easter doesn’t really have any stand-out cuisine traditions. You’d think the opposite, seeing as lots of people deprive themselves of their favorites until a few days before Easter Sunday. Might as well liven the menu up a bit with some Easter/Passover meal suggestions from ”Bob’s Burgers.” (For real.)

Finding a Cracked Plastic Egg
You’re hard on the search for those candy filled eggs amongst throngs of toddler and pre-pubescents. Oh, there’s one! Wait, it’s cracked and its jelly bean innards have decorated a patch of grass. Just like the rest of the ones you’ve found. That’s what you get for trying to steal candy from a baby.
Peeps
There aren’t many ways to make the sticky marshmallows appetizing. Best to forgo eating them and instead celebrate the fact that Easter falls on 4/20 with…Stoner Peeps!
Never-Ending Easter Egg Hunt
There’s no doubt that if your family hosted the Easter get-together, you’ll still be finding eggs around the house come Christmastime. Since Easter candy never (really) goes bad, you probably won’t die if you eat it months later — which actually makes this much less of a pet peeve.
