We filmed Episode 10 of our Easter edition podcast this week and decided to taste test a mix of British (and not-so-British) Easter eggs — Mini Eggs, Caramilk Reptile Eggs, and popping candy chocolate oranges made it to the lineup.Things got a bit chaotic… the popping candy set us off, the reptile eggs were questionable, and we couldn’t stop laughing.
