London - Two men have spent six months eating 350 Easter eggs.
Jeff Pyne and Rahul Patel are professional Easter egg tasters for UK retailer Tesco.
Rahul, 24, from Barnet said: "There were simply too many products to be sampled by one person - so now there's two of us eating round the clock!
"But there was one minor problem, I didn't really like the taste of chocolate before I was offered this job."
During the course of their 10-year careers, Jeff and Rahul estimate they have eaten their way through a whopping 6 000 eggs and 4 000 boxes of chocolate, the majority of which have been tried at this time of year.
Jeff said: "We may be the envy of kids and all of our female colleagues, but there are downsides.
I can never give boxes of chocolates to friends or family who know I get them from work - and trips to the gym have become an absolute must!" - Ananova.com
