The Easter Egg

Since the 2000s, Google has constantly added Easter Eggs within many of their products. Stemming from Google's cultural work ethics of Google employees being able to spend 20% of their time for personal interest in projects, the easter eggs became a popular way for google to showcase the developers creativity and humor. Most popular searches do not contain easter eggs as it might affect usability.
