In Orange, Connecticut the Pez candy company rolled out a free Easter Egg hunt for hundreds of people, and adults – with their size advantage, rushed the field and left kids holding broken baskets in their wake! Organizers – er bunnies, placed more than 9,000 eggs on three fields, and planned to stagger starting times to allow children a fair and – as it turns out, fighting chance. While children obediently waited for their age group to begin, parents ‘jumped the gun’ rushing ahead, pushing and shoving and scooping up candy.
No visible injuries were reported, and I suppose there is no point in asking, what is wrong with people. Maybe this is an off-season warm-up for Black Friday shoppers, but I’d like to see Bunny Foo Foo bop a few of ’em on the head just the same.
