Easter is coming this weekend, and I thought that it would be fun to share weird, but interesting facts about Easter that you may have never known. So here are 8 weird facts about Easter.

1. The tallest Easter egg chocolate was made in Italy in 2011. It stood at 34.09 ft and weighed 15,873.28 lb. Italy had a huge Tiramisu festival and gave everyone the chocolate on Easter.

2. Americans buy more than 700 million peeps every year during Easter.

3. Seventy-six percent of people eat the ears off of a chocolate bunny first.

4. Americans eat more than 16 million jelly beans a year. That is enough jelly beans to circle the  

  Earth 3 times.
