Start with the feet. If you bite off the ears, he's disfigured. Makes a problem when you only have the head left but what can you do?
I actually like the hollow ones more. Makes him seem more real. Also you can break chunks off.

Oh, the ears. Absolutely has to be the ears for me. And I do agree that hollow bunnies just feel like I'm not getting what I paid for. I paid for a sugar coma, and I want my coma now!

One thing I learned in childhood -- one must start with the ears, when eating a chocolate bunny. My mother taught me this (she also taught me 'how to drown a cookie' -- Mom's humor could be a bit macabre). Anyhow, eat the ears first, and next step is to decapitate the sucker. ;-)
As for hollow vs. solid, rip-off aside, I think it depends on the quality of the chocolate. I'd rather get a hollow bunny made from quality chocolate, rather than a solid crappy wabbit.

I remember a chocolate bunny my swiss stepmother got me when I was 7. It was far too lifelike (it was piebald milk and white chocolate) and I never was able to eat it. For the Lindt type chocolate bunnies, though, definitely ears first!

What? Nobody eats chocolate bugs for Easter? But they look so yummy. ;-)

I always go for the ears first because they so naturally fit into a jar of peanut butter.
I agree with Rachel about the solid vs. hollow issue. I have had super awesome hollow bunnies (top notch chocolate) and really horrible solid bunnies (the tasteless, chalky kind - bleh). But chocolate quality being equal, solid bunny wins out every time.

Definitely the ears.
I prefer solid bunnies because, yes, I feel a little ripped off by the hollow ones.
I asked my wife why she prefers the hollow ones. For her, they're less messy: all crumbs fall into the reservoir. (She's talented.) - And besides, it always comes with Peter Rabbit storybook.

Hollow Lindt dark chocolate bunny > solid Palmer any chocolate bunny
Still, all chocolate being equal, solid is better than hollow any day.
Ears have to be eaten first. It's the most natural progression.
