Despite thinking about “throwing it in the bin” when she moved house four years ago, Ann couldn’t go through with it
A Scots gran believes she has the world’s oldest unopened Easter egg. Ann Gibb’s 90-year-old chocolate egg is still in its original packaging.
“But she never got it because she died in hospital just a month before her fifth birthday. My auntie took the egg and hid it in a cupboard so my mum, who was obviously distraught, couldn’t see it.” “I didn’t know what to do with it, so I put it in a shoebox and out of sight. When I was moving house four years ago, I came across it and wondered what I should do with it. I thought about throwing it in the bin but I couldn’t do it. I just had to take it to my new house with me.”
“My granddaughter has looked into it and thinks this is definitely the oldest unopened Easter egg in the world. All of my family know the story behind it.
