Easter is this Sunday, we Americans are projected to spend nearly $2.4 billion dollars on candy. Before you bite the ears off that hollow bunny and fill it with Jack Daniels(That's called Bunny Shots Folks), Here's five random facts about Easter candy:

1. Easter is the second-biggest candy holiday of the year. Halloween is first, followed by Easter.

2. 87% of parents will buy or make an Easter basket for their kids. And 81% of them will STEAL candy from their kid's stash.

3. 89% of people believe the proper way to eat a chocolate bunny is ears first. 5% like to eat the feet first and 4% go for the tail.

4. More than 1.5 billion Peeps are consumed each year. And there are 35 flavors of Peeps available each Easter season. Fun Fact... I hate Peeps.

5. Americans eat more than 16 million jelly beans during Easter. That's enough jelly beans to circle the globe three times.
