Oh for pete's sake, lol. I know everyone learns in English or Composition class that your first paragraph should grab the reader right away. But there are good and bad ways to do that. This one is an example of the bad way. Candy companies wanting to teach mistrust and disillusionment? The author of this mini-article should feel embarrassed. I know I am for him/her, lol.

Not once in my childhood did I--or anyone else I know--feel cheated that the bunny was hollow. That is what makes it so tasty! And what kid didn't giggle snapping off an ear? And there is also the obvious point that a solid bunny would be impossible to eat. You would either have to gnaw on it like an animal or cut it into bite-able sizes. (And besides, solid bunnies just don't taste the same)

The disappointment I saw in kids is when they got a SOLID bunny in their Easter basket. And weeks later, what Easter chocolates are on markdown, the retailer trying to offload what inventory they have left? SOLID chocolate bunnies, or the Captain Crunch-filled kind, and very often the marshmallow-filled ones as well.

But all this chocolate talk has given me a hankering for a hollow bunny, since I went through mine faster than a politician spends campaign money. Unfortunately, all the hollow bunnies are gone, long-sinced scooped up by chocolate lovers who know hollow bunnies are the best!
