Easter Eggs: WTF?

Chocolate egg or Easter egg? Or doesn't it matter? Following 'Easter Egg-gate', with even the Prime Minister getting involved, James Waterhouse asks Easter Eggs: What's The Fuss?

It's the Easter-egg-gate row that even the Prime Minister's waded into - what we should call the chocolate ovoids we enjoy at this time of year? A row kicked off after The National Trust and Cadbury's dropped the word Easter from one of their egg hunts - so Newsbeat's James Waterhouse asks, Easter Eggs: What's The Fuss?

Purely in the name of research, he looks at how the big brands package their eggs, and whether it matters if the word Easter features on the label. He also gets a mini history lesson on where the tradition of giving eggs comes from.
