I picked up a US version Kinder Joy egg today. Unlike the original Kinder Surprise Eggs, this egg is in 2 sealed halves, one containing the toy and one containing some sickly sweet chocolately goo, some white goo and 2 little crispy balls. I did not enjoy that side. The other side contains the toy, which I did enjoy.
I would rather see the “treat” side contain a couple of wrapped candies, like Hershey’s kisses or similar.
I picked one up the other day. The goo was as disgusting as something called “goo” might be and the toy sucked. It was 3 pieces of plastic that snapped together to make a bunny emerging from an egg. Kinder toys used to be cool random things, like they were Cracker Jack toys ramped up a bit, not just seasonal pablum.
I give a huge thumbs down to this incarnation of Kinder eggs.
There is at least one more brand I have purchased at Walmart, they are in the checkout line. It does have a chocolate egg. It’s been awhile so I forget how they got around the “hazard”.
