49 Real-Life Easter Eggs People Found Accidentally

Over the past couple of years, we have been picking up on the Easter eggs that Pixar cleverly hides in plain sight in every movie they release. And one extremely talented singer-songwriter has made it a point to engage her fanbase with ‘Easter egg hunts’ when she’s about to release an album. So, we think we can all agree that there’s a certain level of satisfaction in discovering something that people usually fail to notice. But this little fun game isn’t limited to games or movies – the real world is rife with it, if you’re attentive or snoopy enough. In fact, there’s even a Reddit page dedicated to real-life Easter eggs and it’s currently got over 436,000 members!

The Reddit page r/IRLEasterEggs has been around since 2015 and its rules are simple. When you find a real-life Easter egg, share it! The moderators have made it clear that those found in games or movies aren’t considered as real-life, as they belong under the digital category instead. So, a quick scroll on the page will show you a variety of uncanny discoveries shared by members. And, it seems like a lot of brands enjoy poking fun at their consumer’s bottom-peeking. While many have discovered unexpectedly brilliant messages on their t-shirt tags. We’ve selected 49 of the best Easter eggs from the subreddit for you to chuckle at, so sit back, relax and enjoy scrolling!
