Easter Egg Scenes
   |
I saved “It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown” on the TiVo to watch tonight. Snoopy was running around the store while the others were shopping and he stumbled upon the sugar Easter eggs with scenes in the center. I had forgotten about those lovely, delicate treats from my youth and wondered why I had not seen any in ages. Like most of you, I start with Google when I am seeking some information. I stumbled onto this story that explains the good ole US Government created a law that said all elements of a sugar egg must be edible, thus rendering the paper created scenes of bunnies, ducks, and springtime illegal. How disappointing. They came in all sizes but the smallest ones were the most incredible because as a child, you could not believe this tiny staged setting could exist inside an egg that sat in the palm of your hand. Like most things of yesteryear, I am not sure the kids of today would appreciate something that didn’t fly or jump or become alive but I know I sure loved them. |
