A Wonderful Life

Überaschungseier (Surprise Eggs) is very interesting for me. I think it is not something strange if you live in Europe. If you never see and never hear it before, here is the picture of it.

We were having dinner and then we did not know how and we talked about this surprise eggs. The next day, I found two surprise eggs on dinning table, my parents in law had bought it when they had an evening walk.
Then my father in law told me a lot about this surprise eggs, How it was so popular, how we could get it, what possible figures we can find in them, what kind of company produce them.

Kinder Surprise originated in 1972 in Italy as Kinder Sorpresa. The German word "Kinder" in the name came about because in 1967, Ferrero's German subsidiary introduced Kinder Chocolate ("Kinderschokolade") to the German market, and in 1968 that product was introduced to Ferrero's native Italy, establishing the "Kinder" brand there, prior to the introduction of the Kinder Sorpresa chocolate eggs. Kinder Surprise eggs were introduced to the German market in 1974, and for many years this was the largest market for the product.

People could find them in US market but since 1997 it is forbidden to be in US market.

Kinder Eggs are sold all over the world excluding the United States, where the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act prohibits embedding "non-nutritive items" in confections. Additionally, the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall on the eggs in 1997 (mostly via import shops).

I am so interested in this small figures. I sometimes buy them when I go shopping just to have a little fun to find the figures in them. Few days ago my father in law gave me a series of elephant figures.

I never eat the chocolate because I have allergy of it.

Here are some of other my collections.
