# Sci-Fi Movie Chocolate Candies The Alien Easter Egg is More Delicious Than Dangerous By Harris Jay Rosenberg Alterman | Published 2012-04-04 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-easter-egg References: [obviouswinner](http://www.obviouswinner.com/obvwin/2012/4/2/make-this-foolery-real-milk-chocolate-alien-easter-egg.html) & [denofgeek](http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/1305091/exclusive_fox_to_release_limited_edition_alien_easter_egg.html) 20th Century Fox has leaked some picutres that may suggest that it will be releasing a line of Alien Easter Eggs based off of the hit movie starring Sigourney Weaver. The egg itself is quite large and is a near model of the one in the movie. Along with having a [milk chocolate shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filled-chocolate-easter-eggs), the [candy egg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hershey-easter-products) advertises a "delicious white chocolate facehugger" that will pop out and ironically eat you instead of the other way around. These Alien Easter Eggs are a [limited edition piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easter-2025), which only adds to the excitement. It's hard to tell if this is an April Fools joke or not; but for the sake of chocolate and Alien, let's hope it's not. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sci-fi Movie Merchandise:** Opportunity to create and sell unique products based on popular science fiction movies. - **Limited Edition Collectibles:** Creating exclusive and limited edition collectible items can generate excitement and drive sales. - **Cross-promotional Partnerships:** Collaborating with movie studios or other media companies to create themed products can create mutual benefits and audience engagement. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Innovative food and beverage companies can create themed products and experiences based on popular movies. - **Entertainment Merchandise:** Companies specializing in licensed merchandise can capitalize on the popularity of science fiction movies. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing agencies can help brands leverage the appeal of movie tie-ins to reach a wider audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Larger-Than-Life Easter Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snickers-eggs.md) - [Easter Popcorn Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ms-fried-egg-choccorn.md) - [Viral Chocolate Easter Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pistachio-kataifi-breton-egg.md) - [Cereal-Studded Easter Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rice-krispies-milk-chocolate-eggs.md) - [Pyramid-Shaped Chocolate Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edgy-egg.md) - [Breakfast-Inspired Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-egg-easter.md) - [Elevated Easter Treat Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mars-wrigley-easter-2025.md) - [Easter Treat Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easter-2025-range.md) - [Undead Easter Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-plum-chocolate-zombie-bunny.md)
