How many rolos can the average man fit in his mouth?

Advertised with the slogan "Do you love anyone enough to give them your last Rolo?" you'd have to be completely head over heels with the guy to even consider this!

Still the course of true love can often be bizarre so I reckon an average man could manage to fit about 30 or so rolos (3 packets) in his mouth.

I warn you though, it won't be a pretty sight and could turn your heart's desire into a repulsive mire.

Of course this could be a deliberate ploy to stop his incessant whinging. If so, well done, get yourself a Bounty bar and head off to silent paradise!

Why does the Easter bunny carry eggs? Rabbits don't lay eggs.

What is the origin of the Easter bunny and why would they be connected to eggs? It just doesn't make sense, please help me Just FAQMe!

We ought to say don't question it and just enjoy the chocolate, but that's unlikely to satisfy your FAQing appetite so we'll burrow deeper and aim to offer an egg-ceptional answer.

The Easter Bunny in fact originates from the festival's connection with the pagan goddess Eostre. Eostre (sometimes spelt Oestre) was a fertility goddess from whom we derive the word "oestrogen" and she is closely associated with fertility symbols such as eggs. The rabbit is known as a highly fertile creature (read rampant rabbit) and hence an 'obvious' choice for Easter symbolism.

Some have suggested that the Easter 'bunny' is more likely to be a hare; these are considered the sacred creatures of Eostre. This theory dates back to the ancient Egyptians who believed them to watch the moon at night. Some refute the suggestion of a 'man in the moon' and believe there is in fact a hare in the moon. Have a close look at the full moon, you'll be surprised. The 'modern' Easter Bunny appears to have originated in 16th Century Germany - the bunny was known as Oschter Haws and brought gifts of chocolate, candy and eggs to well-behaved children.

Us FAQers love the idea of a giant supernatural bunny laying billions of chocolate eggs in one night. We've learned not to question it, in case he gets wind of any disbelief and deprives us of our choccie goodies.
