A California woman is left stumped after realizing that Australian Easter eggs are very different from the eggs served in America.
Tate Waynne said she was “shaken” after learning Australian eggs are made from chocolate, not plastic toys filled with sugary candy.
She explained that one of her boyfriend’s friends was having an Easter egg exchange and asked her to get an egg.
It confused her because the plastic eggs filled with candy are “small” and don’t seem like enough fun.
“I asked why we only bring one, these things are kind of small,” she said.
