Sacramento Tried to Set the Record For the World's Biggest Easter Egg Hunt . . . But It Fell Into Chaos
Sacramento, California tried to set a world record for the biggest Easter egg hunt ever on Saturday, but they FAILED . . . in more ways than one.
First off, they put down 500,000 eggs, which is a lot . . . but wasn't enough to set a world record….And second . . . the whole thing turned into utter CHAOS.
There was no organization, so the bigger kids started trampling the little kids for eggs. Then the PARENTS got involved, and started trampling EVERYONE to get eggs for their own children.
Kids were crying, getting hurt . . . and parents were pushing and swearing at them and each other.
One mother who was there summed it up, quote, "It was horrible."
