Here’s a weird, universal truth: Easter Sunday is the best day to buy discount chocolate. By 4 p.m., every open store slaps “50% off” signs on Cadbury Creme Eggs like they’re radioactive. You can load a cart full of pastel-colored sugar bombs for pocket change.
But here’s the catch: The selection is terrifying. You’ll find only the weirdest eggs—the ones shaped like a duck, or the “Easter Bunny with a Unicorn Horn.” These are the rejects. But hey, after three glasses of holiday wine, they taste like victory.
What About Restaurants and Fast Food?
Fast food is a mixed bag. McDonald’s is often open, because the Golden Arches fear no holiday. But don’t expect your local fancy Italian bistro to be serving linguine. They’re closed, likely having a personal Easter with their families, leaving you to eat a McFlurry in a parking lot. That’s your holiday feast.
Chinese restaurants, however, are legendary for being open on Easter. It’s a known secret: If you want kung pao chicken on a Christian holiday, the Chinese takeout joint is your savior. They don’t care about bunnies; they care about dumplings.
