You like Kinder Surprise?

[Ericthegreat]

Chocadooby!

Quite a commercial there huh?

 

[Sicklyboy]

Well, yes

Here we go:

There's even a bigger one than the MAXI

*Suddenly, raul's expectations on Easter are set higher than normal.*

That is ridiculously huge. I want one.

That's what she said

*cough*

I used to hate those solid figurines you find in Kinder eggs when I was a kid. No assembly, no moving parts, no articulation, nothing, just an ornament. Meh. There used to be transformers in Kinder eggs, actual transformers, that you had to assemble and then they transformed! *10-year-old-brain-asplode* Stupid immobile ornaments, bah!
But nowadays I don't mind them, I even like some of them. I'm turning into a crazy china-kitten-collecting old lady with age.

I will add to the chorus of "older toys- yay....chocolate, not so much". They are not American chocolate levels of bad (before it is said I know not all septic chocolate is Hershey's but the alternatives were not much better) but nothing that will evoke any memories at all which is quite bad when it comes to chocolate.

These are great...I have a huge plastic sack filled with little premuims/figures from these choco eggs, mostly the various Asterix characters.

I had some from Oz, at one point....think they were called 'Yowie', or something like this? (Riffing on the 'Outback Bigfoot', if memory serves.)

Great stuff.

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.)

Yeah, I noticed it afterwards, we do have some like that here too all year round, in some speciality stores, although the ones I know are bigger than the Maxi one shown in the vid.

Well, yes

These are the ones I meant, the Giant ones.
They're found pretty much all year round, although more common during Easter.

 

[Hells Malice]

I always buy the giant kinder surprises right after Easter when they're super cheap.
Soooo muuuch chocolaaaaate

 

[Redeem]

I just moved to Canada, from the U.S. We're all set, and I bought 3. It was so good. I love Canada!~!~

 

[astrangeone]

Lol. I love 'em, but I mainly buy 'em for the capsule inside - the capsule's good for different bento sauces. I like the not so sweet chocolate....too.

 

[Wizerzak]

If you like the chocolate you should just buy the Kinder Bars instead; cheaper and more chocolate / flavour.

I was just thinking the same right now......
I just had one for the first time maybe after 15 years ( to be fair I lived in the States for 12 years and now that I think about it I didn't see any ) and I thought damn, this chocolate is so good but so little !
They should skip the surprise and make it a solid chocolate egg !

Speaking of the surprise, I noticed that the inner yellow capsule now had a different lead that swings open but remains attached to the base.
That's some extra precaution right there ( other then the Not suitable for children under 3 written bold in every language ! ) , that wasn't there when I was a kid.

I distinctly remember that every time I had one , I always ate the chocolate first and then tried to open the capsule with greasy hands, which would inevitably fail.
So I had to use my teeth, and more then once the capsule will shoot open in my mouth and more then once I almost swallowed the lead !
So I recognize that in all fairness they might have been slightly dangerous, but to ban in in a whole nation.....that's quite extreme.

That ruins the surprise, and it doesn't come with a toy.

Recently got a Kinder Bueno after a long time... now I'm addicted D: Must get MOOOOOOORE... why so yummy q-q

 

[Pong20302000]

in Co-Op they do a chocolate ball thing and it is basically just hte chocolate from the eggs
no toy but more chocolate for your money

 

[Jeff Spiegel]

In the US, there's now a legal version of Kinder Surprise. Bigger toys w a different kind of capsule. www.chocotreasure.com.

Totally not the same thing!

Why US foos can't haves them
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder_Surprise#Prohibition_on_sale_or_import_into_the_United_States

So... it means easter eggs sold in the US also doesn't have a surprise inside them? I hate your country!

EDIT: Also, the US think Kinder Surprise is dangerous, but finds perfectly secure letting children knocking at some stranger's door at night to ask for candies at Halloween?

We totally don't have rapists and pedophiles in this country, you know.

It's, like, perfectly safe.

Yeah, I used to buy the Yowies too. The chocolate was nice (pretty sure it was cadbury's) but the toys weren't as good as Kinder's.
You either got a yowie figurine from the cartoon show they were based on (I think there were 6 yowies, each with thier own distinct personality traits), or an native Aussie bird or animal that needed assembly.

The whole deal was to promote nature conservation. Because selling plastic tat to kids would totally save the rain forest...
