WTF America? — Parents Trample Children, Black Friday-Style, for Easter Eggs Filled with Pez

Agoraphobia in modern day America could be considered more of a natural reaction than it is a disorder as a recent egg hunt in Connecticut illustrates.

For the third year in a row, the Pez candy visitor’s center in Orange hosted its Easter Egg Hunt. The event was structured in a way to allow children, grouped into three different age groups, to pick up 9,000 eggs scattered about the area. There were more than enough eggs for everyone.

Instead of allowing the 4-year-olds to go first, however, parents, apparently so infatuated with the idea of crappy free candy, bum-rushed the fields, greedily taking the eggs for themselves — children and Easter be damned.

“Unfortunately, people chose to enter the first field prior to anyone from Pez staff starting the activity. The crowd moved to the second field, waited for only a couple of minutes and proceeded to rush the field without being directed to do so and before the posted start time,” Pez officials said in a statement on Saturday.

Pez officials described the chaos, saying, parents “immediately moved to the third field, took over and removed everything well before the activity was to even start.”
