- A giant (14.5ft by 9.5ft) solid chocolate Easter billboard was created on April 3 by Thorntons, a UK chocolate firm. Placed in Covent Garden, London, it was made of 10 chocolate bunnies, 72 giant chocolate eggs and 128 chocolate panels, each weighing 2kg. It took three months to plan, 300 hours for a team of 10 to build and was expected to last a week. "As the billboard was unveiled, 50 girls from the Brownies turned up on a chocolate finding mission." Three hours later, the billboard was gone. Via the BBC. More photos of the event can be seen on the yumsugar blog, too.
Happy Easter!
