Chocolate Rabbit- What part do you eat first?

United States
April 10, 2009 3:53pm CST
As we are selling Easter candy at the store now daily, we got an email today that told us the stats on what part of the rabbits are eaten first. All most 70% of us eat one part before we do the others, do you know what it is and what do you eat first? I never really thought about this but yesterday my daughter actually told me that one part tastes better than the other. I laughed as it is all the same, but after reading this email today, I guess there are others who think the same thing. Isn't it funny how we think about stuff like that? I have seen some crazy stats before but this one made me laugh!

I haven't had one in years but if memory serves me, I used to eat the ears first. I always felt bad for eating the poor little bunny but I still did it :) [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Well, it looks as though you fit in well with the rest of the population. The majority of the people eat the ears first.

Well I'm right there with the popular people! I eat the ears first for two reasons.....Here goes trying to explain something that makes no sense! LOL First the ears are sticking up when he is held upright so naturally it is the first part you get to! LOL Second the chocolate is thinner on the ears and not as hard to bite off! There you have it...a lame excuse for why I eat his ears first! Happy Easter!

It seems funny to me that you even know why you eat the ears first. To me, it is chocolate and I will eat it in any order.

I go for the head first. I mean after that it is no longer a bunny and the rest disappears soon after. I do not know about taste. It is all the same. It is just that the head always goes first.

Most people eat the ears first. I don't know why that is but that is what the stats say.

That is a very funny statistic, I never thought about that before. The first part I eat is the ears and then I make my way down to the head, I think the head has the most chocolate in it. All of a sudden I feel morbid for talking about it lol.

That is the most favorite part of the rabbit. Most kids eat the ears before they eat anything else. A friend of mine at work says that she eats the candy eyes first. However, my oldest daughter says that the ears are better than the rest of the rabbit.

Hello carolscash, I always ate the ears first. I think most people eat the ears first because of the way they stick up. If you eat them first you don't have to worry about them breaking off. I didn't ever notice that one part tastes better than the other, it all tastes the same to me. Happy Easter!

It all tastes the same to me too. I think that they are crazy,but others have said that the ears taste different too.

Yes, normally I do bite the ears off. I had never thought of me being a statistic though! That's too funny. I went to Wallyworld (walmart) Thursday night looking for Robins Eggs. I couldn't find any except in a little bitty carton about the size of a half pint of milk that you get at school, and those were a dollar each! I didn't feel like driving all the way to Kroger, even though I knew they had larger bags of them for $1.50 because I knew the storms were coming in.

I work at Kroger and we had the little cartons too. However, we did have big bags.

It is interesting to have all sorts of make for ester candy and it definitely attract the children more. Maybe your daughter is only fantasizing while eating the candy, just for the fun of it.

Well, it seems that everyone thinks so as there are many people who have a favorite part or a part that they tend to eat first,. Humans are a funny bunch of people aren't we?

Hi carolscash...I buy chocolate rabbits for the kids, and also for me and my husband. I've noticed that the children bite at the ears first, but I always go for the bottom teehaa. My husband on the other hand just breaks it all up What bit is suppose to taste the best then?

The ears are what gets eaten first by most people and that is what my daughter says tastes better. I can't imagine!

I eat the ears of the chocolate rabbit first, I don't think they taste better than the rest of the rabbit, but it is good to have the ears first, and way down to its head. So do this show anything special if one eats the ears of the rabbit first?

All it shows is that you are in the normal bunch of people. Like I said 70% of the people polled said the ears.

I always just eat the ears first.. mainly because they are on the top and its just easier. I think its kind of weird if you started in the middle or something.. Ive got a rabbit in front of me and im going to try the different parts!

I guess you are right about the placement of them makes the ears the first part to get eaten.

I think most people eat the ears first. They are big and and good! I think the ears taste better because they are easier to bite into and you get the real taste. I think it's really funny! NICE POST!
