Easter Eggs Are So Expensive Americans Are Dyeing Potatoes
-
Did you know if you leave potato's out in the sun they turn green and create a neurotoxin called solanine? If ingested it can cause illness, nerve damage, even death!
In WWII women forced to cook for Nazis would put green potatos in the soldiers soup and could kill or disable whole unit if done right. And the symptoms are very similar to regular food poisoning so it often was just overlooked as just spoiled food.
And if green potato's start to rot the gas is also lethal, so some rotten potato's hidden in an enclosed space like a bedroom can do the job too.
Know your history.
*potatoes, Mr. Quayle.

You don't dye them, you buy them wrapped in colorful paper.
Not that anybody bothers with an egg hunt anymore over here, people just give these to kids directly now. Sometimes they're chocolate bunnies instead because everybody knows who the real star is and chocolate tastes better than boiled eggs.
Where are you that you don't do Easter egg hunts anymore? They're still pretty popular in my part of the Midwest US. Hell, it's not even a religious thing anymore haha

I pity The Onion's writers.
Time to start reporting sane news instead

Bunny is not Easter tradition. I don't know what is it. Eggs are. At least in Ortodox Christianity, don't know in other versions.
In the US, which this story is about, the Easter Bunny is as traditional as Santa Claus

The whole point of Easter eggs is they are dyed red to represent the blood of Christ, with further symbolism being found in the hard shell of the egg symbolizing the sealed Tomb of Christ—the cracking of which symbolized his resurrection from the dead. Dyeing potatoes is not Christian tradition.
So.. you're saying its blasphemy and we can burn or stone the potato dying people right?

I have to see it before I believe it. Funny as hell though if true.
If you need an egg stand in, there's the cheap plastic eggs. Which are available everywhere. So I too, doubt this story.

Ha ha ha ha. Of course not. I was just stating a fact, it turns out that it's something that offends Americans.

It's not Christian, it was appropriated from other cultures/religions.
Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox - a very pagan way of calculating things.
Compared to the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church calculates Easter differently.
