    Lol, these were actually legit banned until somewhat recently. So this post actually makes a bit of sense!

    Guys it’s a trap! There’s a hard thing in the middle that doesn’t have any flavor, and I nearly killed myself swallowing it!

    Calling my lawyer now.

    Are the toys inside original again or still just stupid marketing tie ins of the movie du jour?

      If you’re in usa, it’s illegal to sell the good ones. You’re not allowed to have inedible, non-food items fully surrounded by food. Items like corndogs are ok since the stick is exposed, but the plastic eggs fully enclosed by chocolate are not ok.

      We can’t have nice things because American corporations couldn’t be trusted to not bake rocks into bread, unless it was against the law

        You can do that here, you just can’t sell it and also call it food. You could sell such a thing as a rock with organic protective covering and be as OK as anyone is here.

    This one actually hurts. Kinder joy is just so devoid of joy compared to kinder surprise.

    I mean we have them just not the ones with plastic in them. I guess they wouldn’t quite taste the same.

        The American version is two packaged chocolate halves. The toy is in the middle. The original is banned by FDA in America because it has the plastic egg within the chocolate egg and there is a clause in the FDA regulations that says non food items cannot be within packaging unless necessary. And the toy is not necessary according to them. The taste is a texture (shape) difference. Ingredients are the same as far as I know.

        If I remember correctly, they don’t even have chocolate in solid form, and the plastic egg splits into two halves, with one having the toy inside and the other some kind of white thing with two balls.

        This is not really a kinder egg tbh, it is too different and loses the cool part about it which is the toy being inside the chocolate egg.

          …. and the other some kind of white thing with two balls.

          The real Kinder surprise is in the comments.

          Guess I will have to buy one of the large ones and test it.

            I prefer the normal sized ones.

            Or do you mean you will buy the american one?

              I am very confused about which one is which. Will test the one that is not normal to me (2 chocolate halves melted together, outside is dark and inside white chocolate, one smaller plastic egg with toy inside).

              Edit: As per the other comment, I have never had one of the American ones.

                What you described is the normal one. The american one does not have solid chocolate at all as I described.
