Do you have a favourite Easter egg that you enjoy each year?
Are you one of those people who can’t help walk past them in the supermarket and have to put one in your basket? Guilty as charged too.
But it turns out Brits have a surprising favourite when it comes to their favourite Easter egg. This is according to Uber Eats which has been delivering chocolate across the UK.
Think of them as another version of Santa. Seeing as in 2023 they delivered over 55,000 chocolate eggs over the Easter period.
Meanwhile, last year Uber Eats delivered 118% more chocolate eggs than hen’s eggs on the first week of April alone.

Elsewhere the capital was crowned as the nation’s biggest Easter egg munchers, ordering a staggering 14,353 Easter eggs between the 1st and 9th of April.
London was followed by Birmingham and Manchester.
At the other end of the scale it seems like Scotland wasn’t so keen with with just 2,272 Easter eggs delivered across Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.
Alex Troughton, Director of Grocery and Retail at Uber Eats said: “Easter eggs never fail to become one of the most popular items on the app during the Easter period.
“We saw massive growth for customers ordering Easter eggs and seasonal items on the app in 2023, and we’re already seeing higher numbers this year ahead of the Easter weekend.”
