Hi Reader!
If you’re waiting until Easter Sunday to dig into your sweets, you only have 48 hours to go! Even if you’ve already nibbled on your stash (I plead guilty), eating Easter candy on Easter Sunday feels eggstra-special. This week, I dug into the history and science behind my two favorite Easter treats: jelly beans and chocolate bunnies. When it comes to these candies, all’s fair in bugs and war!
In this issue:
🪲 Watch to see how bugs make jelly beans

bug you?
Why are jelly beans so shiny? Because they’re coated in the secretion of a special bug!

Solid chocolate bunnies forever!
Chocolate bunnies weren’t always disappointingly empty. So when, and why, did they become hollow?

What’s your favorite Easter treat?

That’s all for this week, but I’ll see you next Friday. Remember to feed your mind!
