Kinder Eggs

[disneycruise05]

I LOVE Kinder Eggs!!!! I would get them all the time when I lived in Germany. They usually had the most obscure toys inside, but it was always so fun just to crack the chocolate open and find what was inside.

Now I'm off to see if I have any Kinder Eggs stashed away somewhere...

My DD loves them, too!! There is a little European market near our house, and they sell them there.

Not had a kinder egg for years! Used to love munching the chocolate whilst assembling a small plastic car :lmao

My kids love Kinder eggs.
It's not easter without the egg hunt for the Kinder eggs.

I got Kinder Eggs in St. John, New Brunswick. I heard the aren't sold here because little toys inside might be eaten by children.

We usually get them at Mr Dunderbak's here.

I love love love Kinder Eggs but I to heard you could not sell them in the US and web stores could not ship them to the US.

I looked these up last night on Wikipedia. They are beyond cool! I'd love to get one, but, like Tara said above, they are not allowed to be sold in the US. Grrr. Dang Food & Drug Association.

I remember Nestle's version, The Wonder Ball, a few years back. Those were beyond cool and even had little Disney toys in them for awhile. They then got caught in the fire as to whether or not they are safe and changed the toys to candy pieces. Obviously those were not as popular and they stopped making them.

I had always heard you couldn't get them in USA either but like I said you can usually get them at MR Dunderbaks. Check there around the different holidays

I love Kinder Eggs too! I think I still have a workinng ferris wheel that I got in one once. By the way it was the hardest toy I ever put together from a kinder egg....

When Kinder Eggs were mentioned on the show this week, I near fell out of my chair. I've never eaten one, but the commercial from the 80s is one of my favorites (in a 'huh?!' kind of way). As long as there's a thread about them, I have to share the disturbing oddness of this commercial with you all Enjoy...

We can buy them here in NC- there's a little European grocery store that has them. Unless they are illegally importing them, they must still be available to buy in the US.

All right...that was by far one of the creepiest commercials I have ever seen. Bar none.

SHOCK-A-DOOBY!!!

They have changed the way you open Kinder Eggs in the UK, before they used to be two completely seperate parts to the egg to open it, now it is one with a catch on it so it opens in the middle. When I was younger I used to almost inhale one of those small half pieces all the time, and it taught me not to put small objects in my mouth and run around!

What I thought was funny was them saying how good the chocolate was. Kinder eggs are ok, but they are pretty low grade chocolate, but then again compared to Hershey's anything tastes good! (Sorry I hate the stuff, has a puke like aftertaste to me!) They should try some real chocolate like Cadburies!

We get Kinder chocolate and Kinder eggs shipped to us every year because my husband is from Germany and his family sends it. I let him eat it all because he is obsessed especially with the little chocolate filled sticks (I still don't know what the white filling is..?).

They also used to send gummy bears (Haribo) and we didn't have the heart to tell them they sell those at Cost Plus, but they discovered that on their last visit, but we said we still eat them gladly

Kinder egg chocolate is nothing to write home about, but the toys inside are little marvels of engineering.

Yeah they are illegally importing them. I think a few years back a bunch of European stores in New York got busted for carrying them. Technically I don't think you aren't even supposed to bring unopened ones here in the US even you don't want to sell them. I think customs can take them if the agent is aware of them.

Really?! Well, we'd better get over there and get some before the cops catch on. DD loves them, and would be disappointed if she didn't get one in her Christmas stocking as usual.

You can order them online at http://www.dutchmarket.com/kinder.html

We've gotten boxes for the nieces and nephews and they love them!

There's a local Italian Grocery store here that sells them. I couldn't believe I found them!!

I've also seen the Nestle version called Wonder Ball...those have candies inside similar to sweet tarts...they have a round ball inside instead of a capsule. Not as good as the toy though.
