     “I always loved the Hershey’s Kisses and [my daughter] Lily Rose likes M&M’s,” Edward Dowling said. “I just take candy from the kids. [As a kid] we used to get eggs from the backyard that had candies and quarters.”

     “I would say the Cadbury filling eggs, they’re not so much my favorite, but they remind me of Easter and my dad,” Krizia Martinez said. “I [also look forward] to Sour Patch Kids and Starbursts and Peeps [from when I was a kid]."
