Welcome to "5 Things to Know Today," a daily Patch feature that provides five quick tidbits of information in one spot. In honor of the Easter holiday, today's facts are Easter-centered. Here they are:
- According to the National Confectioners Association, 88 percent of adults carry on the Easter tradition of creating Easter baskets for their kids.
- The NCA also reports 16 billion (yes, billion!) jelly beans and 90 million chocolate Easter bunnies and are made for Easter each year. In a survey, 76 percent of people reported they eat the ears on chocolate bunnies first.
- Peeps took an hour to make when they were first 'hatched" in 1953. Now it takes only six minutes to make a peep. Find out more Peeps trivia by taking a Peeps quiz on the official Peeps website (there are over 200 unofficial Peeps sites, by the way).
- And, as always... The National Weather Service is predicting a high near 77 degrees and a low near 46 degrees.
- Moorpark's lowest price per gallon for regular gas is $4.25, according to GasBuddy.com. Find it at the Union 76 station at 13800 Princeton Ave.
