Here's where things get weird. I asked my fellow blog authors what part of the chocolate bunny they eat first and why. I wanted to get a sense of the philosophy behind the decision. Here is what we all said:
- Susan - Ears first because they are sticking out there and begging to be eaten!
- Susan S. - Depends on my mood. Not how cruel I am but how much chocolate I want. The feet are wider so one bite of feet satisfies a gluttonous mood. If I am less needy, I nibble at the ears.
- Tori - Definitely ears. Because bunny ears and bunnies are what Easter is all about! Really, I think I've only had a chocolate bunny once in my life. Don't tell the Easter Bunny.
- Carl - Feet first. I don't want him to be able to hop away before I am done.
Wait. What? Tori has only had one chocolate bunny in her life? Tori is not old like I am (or so Susan leads on that I am) but she is not a kid either. How can you have a whole childhood without multiple chocolate bunny encounters? She is from Richmond, so perhaps some sort of environmental conditions prevent the chocolate bunnies from spawning upstream or whatever they do to reproduce.
According to a survey conducted by NCA a few years ago:
Of 1,000 adults surveyed, 76 percent said they start with the ears when they munch a chocolate bunny. Eating bunnies’ feet first (five percent) and tail first (four percent) were not popular choices.
How do you take the first bite of a chocolate bunny? Do you have a rationale behind your method?
