Alexa Easter Eggs

This Sunday is Easter. It’s a special holiday that gives us time to reflect and be thankful. It falls during a time of rebirth: when the grey days of winter fade into the greener days of spring and summer.

Easter is a big day for churches in the United States. Typically it boasts the year’s highest attendance rates which help with donations.

The holiday is also a chance for companies to cash in. Last year, total Easter-related spending was $170 per person celebrating. $3 billion was spent on candy alone.

Speaking of candy, if you happen to get a chocolate bunny and take a bite out of its ears first, well then you’re not alone. 78% of people bite chocolate bunny ears first.

If you’re an empty-nester but you still want to send baskets to your children, well then you’re also in good company. Six out of 10 parents send baskets to their kids after they’ve moved away.

If you’re looking for another gift to send to a loved one this year, consider forwarding this email with Alexa’s Best Easter Eggs.

What Are Easter Eggs?

In the world of software, “Easter eggs” are secret responses that developers sneak into the product. So, in this case, the developers who work on Alexa have tucked away some hilarious responses that you can trigger by asking the device simple questions. Here are some of our favorites.
