50 Times People Accidentally Found A Real-Life Easter Egg
Fact is stranger than fiction. The real world is stranger than movies. And life is full of mystery. I believe it, but it sounds a bit cheesy when you say it out loud, doesn’t it? Well, fortunately for all of you mystery-loving, secret-adoring, hidden detail-worshipping Pandas out there, the phrase turns out to be very true. And we can’t wait to share this with you.
Sitting in a nook on Reddit, there’s a very special community called r/IRLEasterEggs. Created back in 2015 and now housing over 433k members, it’s dedicated to documenting, sharing, and celebrating all of the tiny (and not so tiny) Easter eggs hidden in real life that people happen to stumble upon. As it turns out, it’s not just movies, TV shows, and video games that have delightful secrets stashed away for only the most perceptive and the incredibly lucky to find. Human beings and real life are much more interesting than some of us give them credit for.
Check out some of the most brilliant IRL Easter eggs that people have lovingly crafted below, give the tastiest finds an upvote, and be sure to let us know which ones were your faves and why. Found any Easter eggs in real-life yourselves? We’d love to hear all about them, dear Pandas.

I love this company - Who Gives A Crap. They make recycled toilet paper and tissues and 50% of their profits go to building toilets and proper sanitation for communities that don't have them. Plus the rolls are wrapped in paper, not plastic. The rolls are bigger, last longer and look cute too! I strongly recommend them!

I used to draw CAD construction plans for a retail chain... one store was in downtown NYC and the building had an enclosed truck dock. Rooms are always named/identified on the drawings and no one told me what to call that room, so I named it Docking Bay 94. It went out for permits like that. And years from now when they pull out the old set to make more changes, it'll likely still be called Docking Bay 94! :) For an extra kick, I included in the CAD plan on a layer that doesn't print, a tiny version of the Millennium Falcon! Double easter eggs!

nice! we use CAD for our robotics team and we put smiley faces everwhere haha :)
