Cadbury World unveils world's largest creme egg
Taking chocolatiers nearly three days complete, Cabdury World revealed their giant creme egg that'll be on display for guests in the U.K.
Cadbury has officially revealed its biggest and most chocolatey creation yet.
The world's largest Cadbury Creme Egg, roughly the same size as an emperor penguin, made its debut at Cadbury World in Bournville, a small village on the southwest side of Birmingham, England on Monday.
The unusually large and edible ornament will be displayed in Cadbury World's chocolate-making zone until April 27, giving chocolate aficionados ample time to visit the attraction before Easter Sunday.
Cadbury World's master chocolatiers crafted the super-sized chocolate treat by hand, taking two and a half days to swirl, layer and shape the Cadbury Creme Egg with "delightful detail."
'We challenged ourselves to create something unique and memorable this Easter, and what's more iconic than a Creme Egg?" Cadbury World chocolatier Dawn Jenks said in a news release.
"Creating these showstopping creations is the best part of our job, and we're really excited for the public to be able to come and see it this Easter. Replicating the much-loved Cadbury Creme Egg on an extra-large scale was an ambitious project, and it has been so rewarding to see the vision brought to life."
What is Cadbury World?
Cadbury World is a U.K. attraction that offers several interactive activities so the public can learn more about "the history, magic and making of Cadbury chocolate."
"With an assortment of interactive zones, a team of in-house chocolatiers, the on-site Cadbury World Café and African Adventure play area, plus the unmissable 4D Chocolate Adventure, there's so much for visitors of all ages to see and do at Cadbury World," according to a description provided by Cadbury World.
Cadbury World, originally devised as a marketing ploy, first opened in 1990 and quickly became a popular attraction.
"The vision for Cadbury World was to uphold the value 'Cadbury means chocolate means fun,'" according to the Cadbury World website. "Over the years, our wonderful attraction has grown and stands today as a fun and educational day out for people of all ages."

Taylor Swift's 'Life of a Showgirl' Black Bob Is Her Boldest Hair Yet. Here's How to Recreate the Look.
Taylor Swift just unveiled her most dramatic hair transformation yet, debuting a short black flapper bob during a photo shoot for her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl. She revealed the striking new look on Instagram through a series of elegant, sparkling shots inspired by the glitz of the iconic showgirl—featuring both her signature blonde locks and a blunt bob that we've never seen on the singer before. The style is certainly a wig (she was later spotted with her natural hair during an appearance on the New Heights podcast, filmed afterward), but like her signature Easter eggs and surprise tracklists, we're here for the drama. The look itself is a glamorous box bob in a jet-black hue, paired with a sharp, blunt bangs. A major departure from Swift's trademark golden waves, the bold, graphic cut renders the singer nearly unrecognizable—in the best way. Thinking of recreating Swift's glam bob? Here's what hairstylist Holly Fairley previously told ELLE about the trending cut: 'A box bob is a super clean, blunt bob. For someone with finer hair, it's great because it creates the illusion of thickness—it just looks healthier when it's blunt, rather than wispy. 'A box bob works for most textures, but if the hair is thicker or curly, it can take on more of a triangular shape—flatter at the top, heavier at the bottom. If someone with that hair type still wants the look, I'd just add some texture through the ends to soften it out.' Swift's playful (if only temporary) look will likely make repeat appearances throughout the visuals for her upcoming album—a rollout we'll be eagerly watching until its release on Oct. 3, 2025. In the meantime, we're keeping an eye out for more beauty Easter eggs, like the vibrant orange lipstick she wore during the album's surprise announcement.

Mom's Honest Take on Parenting Goes Viral: 'One Window of Enjoyment'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Parenting comes with challenges, joys and a fair share of chaos—but according to one mom, there's a surprisingly narrow "sweet spot" when it comes to truly enjoying it. In a clip on TikTok, Nicole Collings from the southeast of England (@nicoleisthisme) explained what she called the "one window of enjoyment" in raising children. Her verdict: it's roughly between the ages of 5 and 11, with 12 being the outer limit "and that's being generous." Mom, 40, with blonde hair wearing white shirt speaking to camera for TikTok video. Mom, 40, with blonde hair wearing white shirt speaking to camera for TikTok video. @nicoleisthisme "The baby stage? Hard—cute, but hard," the mom of three said in the video. "Once they get on the move—impossible. Especially when you've got more than one." Collings, 40, explained that things start to get easier around age 3, and by 4 or 5, parents can "see the light at the end of the tunnel." But from there, the real magic begins, until it suddenly vanishes. "When they turn 11 or 12, the magic leaves," Collings said. "Father Christmas, the tooth fairy and the magic of Disney movies vanish. "All those cute little days out that you used to have at theme parks, the farm, the park, picnics? Gone. That is replaced with being a constant taxi driver and an ATM machine." Collings told Newsweek she first came up with her theory during a sleepless night while her three teenagers—two 13 year olds and a 15-year-old—were chatting loudly on FaceTime and raiding the kitchen. "I realized how different things were compared to when they were younger," she said. "It made me reflect on those magical early years, which inspired me to share my perspective on TikTok." For Collings, that 5-to-11 window wasn't defined by a single memory but by a season of life filled with wonder. "I used to go all out for Christmas, Easter and Halloween, transforming our home into a wonderland," she said. "Seeing my children's faces light up with excitement was incredibly rewarding. Family outings to water parks, theme parks, or even simple picnics were such special times." But as her kids approached their teens, the shift was swift. "They became less engaged in family activities and more focused on friends," she said. "The bedtime stories and cozy movie nights faded away, and I felt like the magic had slipped through my fingers." Collings' clip struck a chord online. Amassing over 350,000 views and hundreds of comments, many other parents said they'd experienced the same bittersweet shift. "You've hit the nail on the head. My eldest is 13. We're currently on holiday and constantly been called cringe, embarrassing and been told this is the worse holiday ever," one user wrote. "Eleven-25 could really have dodged those years. They're lovely after that though," another parent shared. Collings' message to other parents with babies and toddlers would be to savor every moment. "Don't wish it away," she said. "Embrace the messiness of toys and a chaotic house because, before you know it, those toys will be replaced by iPads and iPhones, and you might find yourself missing the noise and chaos."

29 "Weapons" Details, Easter Eggs, And Secrets
Zach Cregger's Weapons is the latest horror film to be a massive hit at the box office in 2025. And, because everyone and their mom is currently obsessed with this critical darling, now seems like a great time to take a deeper dive into some fascinating behind-the-scenes facts, details, and Easter eggs. 🚨🚨🚨 Note: Spoilers ahead. 🚨🚨🚨 The number 217 (as in 2:17 a.m., the time the children ran out of their houses in the film) has a lot more meaning and references you might not have noticed at first. For example, 217 — as many horror fans will know — is a nod to Stephen King's The Shining. And Cregger himself confirmed this. In Stephen King's novel The Shining, Room 217 is the haunted hotel room where Danny encounters a ghostly woman in the bathtub. It was inspired by the real Room 217 at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, which has its own ghost stories, and where King himself once stayed during a visit. In Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of The Shining, the room number was changed to 237 at the request of the Timberline Lodge (where exteriors were filmed) so guests wouldn't avoid the real Room 217; the lodge didn't have a Room 237, so it felt safer for business. However, for "purists" and book fans, 217 remains the 'true' haunted room, while 237 is the famous film version. You may have also noticed that the ratio of people left behind (Justine and Alex) to the number of students who disappeared from the classroom is 2:17. Also, in a more subtle nod to "2:17", there are 7 leads in the film (Justine, Archer, Paul, James, Marcus, Alex, and Gladys) who each have 12-minute "chunks" — which is 2:17 backwards. Finally, there's a popular theory out there that "217" may be a political reference to the 217 votes that passed a ban on assault weapons in the US House of Representatives in 2022. It's definitely an interesting coincidence when you combine the theory with that wild AR-15 rifle (a weapon often associated with mass shootings) hovering above a house in Archer's dream. There are several references to parasites in the film — largely in the background — which subtly foreshadow Gladys's behavior as a parasite herself. For example, in Justine's classroom, you can see the topic of "Parasites" on the whiteboard. Later, during Alex's classroom flashback, Justine briefly asks, 'Who else can think of a parasite?' Then, in the 'Marcus' chapter, a TV narrator describes the parasitoid fungus Cordyceps that takes over ants. You may have noticed a symbol like "⛛6" carved on Gladys's bell. The film never explains what it means, though we can probably jump to the conclusion that it's related to witchcraft, but there are A LOT of theories about its meaning. In witchcraft and occult symbolism, the triangle is a feminine symbol often linked to the Crone goddess, representing wisdom, endings, and magic. While number six has historical connotations in occult contexts—it's associated with witchcraft, devilry, and evil, especially when repeated (e.g., "666") There's also a theory out there that Gladys is much older than you might think and not actually Alex's great-aunt, but in fact a witch (or other supernatural force) inhabiting her body. The main reasoning behind this theory is Gladys's reference to "consumption," a very old term for tuberculosis (just as Marcus noted in the film), which was prevalent in the 1800s. Cregger has also talked about how his family's history with alcoholism informed the film's story. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Cregger said, "The final chapter of this movie with Alex and the parents, that's autobiographical. I'm an alcoholic. I'm sober 10 years; my father died of cirrhosis. Living in a house with an alcoholic parent, the inversion of the family dynamic that happens. The idea that this foreign entity comes into your home, and it changes your parent, and you have to deal with this new behavioral pattern that you don't understand and don't have the equipment to deal with." To that end, many viewers have also noted that the circle/triangle that appears in the "O" in the Weapons title card is identical to the Alcoholics Anonymous symbol. The idea for Weapons actually started when one of Cregger's best friends unexpectedly died. Cregger elaborated in the film's production notes: "One of my best friends unexpectedly died. I think there are times when screenwriters can write from a place of ambition, and that's maybe not the most creatively healthy way to go about it. But I was in such a severe, painful place that I was able to write just out of pure need, without any idea of what it was going to be." Though Cregger has not outright said who the friend was, many believe he's talking about his friend and co-founder of sketch comedy group The Whitest Kids U'Know, Trevor Moore, who died on Aug. 7, 2021. Moore died of blunt force head trauma after accidentally falling from a second-story balcony at his Los Angeles home. Back in 2023, a major bidding war broke out over Weapons between Jordan Peele, through his Monkeypaw Productions, alongside Universal, and New Line Cinema for the rights. New Line ultimately won with a $38 million deal — about $7 million more than Universal's offer. Peele was reportedly so invested that he considered contributing his own backend profits. After Peele and Universal lost, Peele parted ways with two of his longtime managers, creating speculation that it was due to the Weapons bidding war loss. Interestingly, one of the managers Peele "fired" was Peter Principato, who also happens to be Zach Cregger's manager. In case you're wondering, the child narrating the story is no one we meet in the film. The narrator is voiced by Scarlett Sher, who played Lily in Hustlers (Constance Wu's character's daughter). Pedro Pascal was originally going to be in Weapons, but scheduling issues due to the 2023 strikes forced a full recast — leading to Josh Brolin taking over his role. Similarly, Renate Reinsve, perhaps best known for The Worst Person in the World (2021), was set to play the role of Justine Gandy, which eventually went to Julia Garner. Funnily enough, initially, Cregger actually felt that Julia Garner was "too young" for the part of Justine. And Oscar‑nominee Brian Tyree Henry was also part of the original ensemble, though it's unclear in what role. Cregger and Amy Madigan were simply having lunch together at a Greek restaurant when he offered her the part. BTW, if you're wondering where you know Amy Madigan from, you may recognize her from earlier iconic roles as John Candy's girlfriend in Uncle Buck (1989), Kevin Costner's wife in Field of Dreams (1989), or her later dramatic turn in Gone Baby Gone (2007). Benedict Wong, meanwhile, was cast "at the 11th hour." Cregger was "in a despair moment" not being able to get that role cast when he had a Zoom meeting with Benedict, who had apparently just woken up and then perfectly ad-libbed his way through the scene. Cregger offered him the role right then and there. Speaking of casting, fans of Barbarian may have appreciated the cameos from Justin Long and Sara Paxton. Long played AJ in Barbarian, while Sara (who is also Cregger's IRL wife) did the voices of the Nursing Video Narration, Assistant, and Megan in Barbarian. Cregger has cited Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia (1999) as a major influence on Weapons, saying he felt it gave him "permission" to aim to make a "horror epic." In fact, Alden Ehrenreich's character Paul's look, in particular his mustache, was a direct homage to John C. Reilly's (who also plays a cop) in Magnolia. Cregger was adamant that each chapter of the film be told in a very subjective way. So, for example, with Alex, everything is shot from his third-grader height. To achieve the very specific look of the children running, the filmmakers used movement coaches and even constructed an entire obstacle course to prep the young actors for their scenes. In addition to writing, directing, and producing Weapons, Zach Cregger also served as a composer on the film, collaborating with brothers Ryan and Has Holladay. The three grew up together in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. The local families of the subdivision that provided many of the film's locations would turn out and basically camp out in lawn chairs during filming, sharing iced tea and snacks among themselves. Production saved and re-homed at least two dogs and one cat over the course of the shoot. The production office also had Sea Monkeys that started as babies and grew to adults over the course of filming. Cregger actually did the spray painting of "Witch" on the side of Julia Garner's car. He did it during a lunch break from filming. Finally, when Cregger first sat down to write Weapons he didn't have a "plan" for where the story would go. He started with the opening we know — the little girl talking about the kids running out of their houses — and asking himself, "Why?" without having an answer, LOL. Obviously, he eventually figured it out (and it turned out perfect). Obsessed with weird, dark, and creepy things (like horror films!!!)?
