Treasure hunting captivates folks of all ages, and let’s face it, kaleidoscope colored eggs are as alluring as any loot imaginable for youngsters.
The largest Easter egg ever created stood more than 25 feet high and weighed 8,000 pounds. The goliath was made out of chocolate, of course, and had to be supported by a steel frame.
