Kinder Surprise

For Easter I brought my grandaughters and friends children a selection of different small eggs to go with their large Easter egg and one of them was a Kinder Surprise egg. A Kinder Surprise is a shell of chocolate with a small capsule inside that contains a small toy that the child usually has to make themselves. The egg is wrapped in foil and presented to be as attractive to young children as possible. The chocolate used to make the egg is very poor quality and it is very thin so you do not get very much chocolate at all when you eat a Kinder Surprise. The outside of the shell is milk chocolate and the inside is white chocolate. I think the ...  Read the complete review

I have fond childhood memories of Kinder Surprise eggs. Seeing them on special offer in my local store for £1 for 3, I thought I'd buy a few for Easter and hide them in my flat as a mini Easter egg hunt for my girlfriend. Well, the "hunt" went well, and we had a good Easter morning. Then after breakfast we decided it was Easter egg time! Outwardly the Kinder eggs look exactly as I remember them as a kid. Unlike Cadbury's Cream Eggs which now look tiny, Kinder Surprise eggs don't look to have got any smaller. The packaging is the same, still the orange and white wrapping that I remember. The dissapointments started when we ...  Read the complete review

Abit about the kinder surprise! ------------------------------------------ Kinder surprise's first started in 1972 in Italy, by the company Ferrero. They are sold world wide. and are very popular, the only place they are not sold is The United States, as they are deemed to be a choking hazard.

It has the words kinder with a black K and inder in orange letters, below that is the ...  Read the complete review

I could not sit by and allow Kinder Eggs to be put down any longer. Yes, they are ridiculously addictive, the toys are never as exciting as you think they will be and generally are sillilly (it's a word in my world)expensive... ....however, I love them. Althugh I am aware of the above points even before I part with my well earned money I still get the tinge of excitement as I wrestle with the plastic egg trying to prize out my treasure. The chocolate as a point I find quit nice, in fact I prefer it to other brands, so either I'm very strange or it's simply a matter of taste, or both. Either way, one problem I would say is the plastic egg, I still to this day ...  Read the complete review

"The irrationality of a thing is no argument against its existence, rather a condition of it". Thus spake Nietzsche. And there is possibly no greater proof of this than Kinder Surprise eggs. I don't know why I buy these. I don't even know why I even look at them. For the non-addicted, Kinder eggs cost about 50p, are slightly larger than creme egg sized sweets and come horribly packaged in cheap orange and white foil. Whereas creme eggs are full of sugary fake-egg goodness surrounded by thick, creamy milk chocolate, Kinder eggs have a thin shell of crap chocolate that tastes of absolutely nothing. Inside, they are hollow, and contain a small, ...  Read the complete review
