Heh, good to see I'm not the only 'temper who likes Kinder Surprise.
I started collecting them back in the '80s, and just never stopped.

The missus buys me a three-pack of Kinder eggs every grocery shopping day.
I've got about 3 shopping bags full of Kinder toys stashed away in storage.

There's only one thing better than a Kinder Surprise... Kinder Maxi!



The Maxi eggs appear in stores around Easter and Xmas, so sometimes I get 2 a year as gifts. :creep:

its about R$4 here, about 2,1 dollars , or 1,5€
Well, even if it was 1.50€, given the current market prices for most chocolates here, it's not that expensive, although it used to cost 0.50€ when the Euro started.
Granted, it's not something that you should buy several times a day, but once a day or a few times a week shouldnt be a problem (I never did eat them everyday when I was a kid since they were too sweet).

The Maxi, which is called Kinder Joy over here, is available during the whole year, I prefer it's taste to the normal Kinger Egg tbh.

Maxis all year round?!:O

Seriously though, yeah the chocolate is nicer, probably because the "shell" is thicker.
The plastic toys are vastly better quality, too.

I didn't really bother with them when i was younger, but my kids now LOVE them. The chocolate is very good, I eat the chocolate from one of my kids cause he's weird and doesn't like any form of chocolate. The toys are pretty cool too... most of them.

They cost roughly 1€ each, I don't find it that expensive (given, it's the European price which is the original market, so it might be cheaper here).


I gotta say I love swiss chocolate and I buy it often, however there's a lot of good chocolate besides Swiss one, Begian Chocolate is extremely good as well, and then there's other types of chocolates which are also good, personally I can't eat milk chocolate since it's too sweet for me, but I do enjoy the other chocolates from Ferrerro and even Kinder, which aren't Swiss made either.

Yeah at the store I buy mine they're about $1.25, but you can get them cheaper if you shop around. It's just this store I've been going to for years, it's literally like the type of corner store you see in movies where everybody knows each other. It's awesome. Hell I don't even get ID'd anymore there. lol

Exactly what I came here to post.

I remember every toy back in the days was like 50 pieces that you put together to make some really cool thing, now you take it out of the capsule and no assembly required.

Remember these planes that you had like at least 10-15 pieces or something to build them?
There were so many great toys. The cars, planes, boats, and even little figures that needed assembly. It was really incredible when I was a kid.

I still get some cool toys that require some assembly. Except I just got one now that's a little yellow monster thing thats... well.. doesn't do a damn thing.

I also bought another Kinder Surprise and went to go put the toy together, and found out that it didn't come with stickers. So I'm bummed :(

Jesus! Those were the sweets of my childhood.
I promise you I still have a giant chest filled with all the Kinder Surprise toys I've collected as a kid. Those things sold like hotcakes where I live!
But then in early 2012 they completely stopped producing and selling them here, and they were replaced with Kinder Joy, which in my opinion, tastes like shit.
I thought that change was global! Are you guys telling me Kinder Surprise is still sold all over the world? I thought they were discontinued!

That's the stuff Kinder Surprise was replaced with.

I used to love that egg, when i was small i love collecting the toys even sometimes i trade it with my friends. Good old times....
I found that egg last year at a german food shop in my place, cost about $8(fking expensive + it is hard to find it here)
the only kinder egg available in most shop here is the kinder joy, don't like it compared to kinder surprise.

Kinder Joy is the one that's the same size as a regular Kinder egg, but one half is filled with cream and the other has the toy (what Lucifer posted)? What is sold as Kinder Maxi in Europe is a huge Kinder egg. Watch the video. Huge. (Well, relatively.)

I TOTALLY loved 'em when I was a kid.

When it's easter I always try to get this gifted to me:

A HUGE-ASS version of the Kinder Surprise, that only gets released on Easter in Italy :P

I mean, compare 'em:

The chocolate tastes cheap and the "toy" is awful. Ones nowadays are even worse, it was kinda fun back then to build them but now it's just three pieces and to stickers to put together.
