A FEW THINGS ABOUT... Cadbury Creme Eggs

Creme Eggs are produced by Cadbury UK in the United Kingdom and by Cadbury Adams in Canada.

They are sold by Mondelēz International in all markets except the US, where the Hershey Company has the local marketing rights. At the Bournville factory in Birmingham, in the UK, they are manufactured at a rate of 1.5 million per day.

The Creme Egg was also previously manufactured in New Zealand but, since 2009, they are imported from the UK.

How they are made:

So if you thought all that gooey fondant was injected into Cadbury's chocolate Easter eggs - think again. Turns out the white-and-yellow filling is in fact, placed inside two halves of the egg, which are sandwiched together to make a whole (check out the video below).

A FEW THINGS ABOUT... Daylight Saving Time (DST)

Not everyone agrees with DST. Here are some experts' tips on making the transition easier:

• Move your clock forward early, say 8 or 9 p.m. then go to bed at your normal time. You're giving up an hour during the day but will stay on schedule sleep wise.
• Skip the snooze button. Keeping a good routine when going to bed and waking is key to an easier transition. One day a year of change isn't enough to mess up your schedule as long as it isn't routine.
• Get plenty of sunlight once you are awake. Daylight is a cue to your internal clock to stop producing melatonin, the hormone that makes you feel sleepy.
• If you're sensitive to the time change, don't overschedule yourself the first few days. Doing too much can make those feelings of fatigue even worse.
• Be extra careful on the road. The darker part of the day now falls in the morning hours and people may be tired. It's a good time to play it extra safe on the roads.
