Easter Eggs!

OK, not the kind you eat. It's the wrong time of year for that.

But, hidden "goodies" in film, software, TV, or whatnot are called easter eggs.

A common example is a hidden menu selection on a DVD. If you find the right button combination, you are taken to the "hidden" content (commonly a making-of feature or some such).

Another common easter egg is a hidden joke or reference. For example, in LOST, "the numbers" often show up in unexpected places, such as the numbers on police cars in a parking lot.
