Saturday 9: The Easter Bunny Bop (2015)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This song encourages little ones to celebrate Easter by doing a little dance. Do you feel like dancing this morning?
A. Not really, no.
2) Everyone in this video is wearing bunny ears. Target, Amazon and other retailers sell bunny ear headbands sized for adults and priced at about $5. Will you be wearing bunny ears, or perhaps a more conventional chapeau, this weekend? Or, because of the corona virus, will your Easter attire be the same as any other day?
A. It will be the same as any other day.
3) This week's featured artists, The Bounce Patrol Kids, are a children's entertainment juggernaut: CDs, DVDs, downloads, and t-shirts. Additionally, they often update their YouTube channel because they want children the world over to have access to their upbeat, energetic songs for free. Besides the Bounce Patrol, what's the last YouTube video you watched?
A. I think it was a video on how to do stretches for plantar fasciitis.
4) According to Forbes magazine, the average American household spends $20.66 on candy each Easter. Will you be consuming candy this weekend?
A. Probably not Easter candy. No one will be out to purchase any.
5) The biggest chocolate Easter egg was made in Italy, measured 34 feet tall and weighed a staggering 15,000 lbs. Do you thinks it's possible to have too much chocolate?
A. I'm sure it is, but I have not yet hit my limit.
6) After chocolate, the top-selling Easter candy is Peeps Marshmallow Chicks. They're so popular that, in 2018, they were the subject of a Jeopardy clue. Do you often watch Jeopardy?
A. We watch it frequently, and play it on Alexa almost every night.
7) Jelly beans are also popular this time of year. In a 2019 poll, jelly bean fans responded that Jelly Belly Buttered Popcorn is their favorite flavor. Sam is crazy about cherry. Do you have a favorite?
A. I don't like jelly beans at all.
8) We've been talking a lot about sweets this morning. The only holiday that generates more candy sales is Halloween. When do you eat more candy: Easter or Halloween?
A. Probably Halloween. I used to really like Cadbury Eggs but they aren't as good as they used to be.
9) Easter is considered the season of rebirth. What makes you feel refreshed or rejuvenated?
A. A nap, a laugh with a friend, or a change of pace.

I didn't know Alexa and I could play Jeopardy together! Thanks for the tip. During quarantine, she and I have become much closer.
ReplyDeleteI never liked the Cadbury Eggs so can't comment on them, but I think a lot of candy isn't as good as it used to be. Reese's peanut butter cups, for one. I suppose they are all cutting corners trying to keep costs down.
ReplyDeleteI forgot Alexa can play Jeopardy
ReplyDeleteI do not like regular jelly beans, but I do like the Starburst kind and the Jelly Belly ones. We haven't bought much Easter candy this year. We did get some of the Reese's peanut butter eggs. Loved your answers! Have a nice day!

I really enjoyed your last answer--a change of pace!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of jellyu beans, but I love Jelly Bellys. Just different somehow.
ReplyDeleteRe Cadberry eggs..isn't it a shame that things are were once so good have been "improved" so they are no longer good?
I love Lindor Truffles, I have been known to eat some and conveniently forget to test my blood sugar in the morning
