That would be correct.

As the 'Easter Eggs' are modeled on chicken eggs and not turkey eggs I felt that I could embellish and edit a bit.

I hate to say it, but I also immediately thought the same thing when I heard that news story....

Good thing I wasn't in a phrase association test....

"Egg drop"
"As God is my Witness..."

"Holiday"
"Festivus"

"Breath Mint"
"Mentos Fountain"

"Water Heater"
"Rocket Launch"
