    My cheap booze/European chocolate/British condiment guy usually has a bunch of these. His shop ain't exactly legal. I try to give him as much business as possible. I'll swing by and see if he has any or if he can gets his hands on any. He's a real good guy. Real good. And he always gives me a real good deal. Real good. :mrgreen:

    Yeah it's stupid but it is what it is for now. Hearkens back to a 1938 law prohibiting embedding "non-nutritive items" in confections.

    I don't get it, they're over priced, you get a crappy toy, and more to the point HARDLY ANY CHOCOLATE! I'd just buy some packs of the kinder sticks - much better value for money!

    Oh facepolution I disagree! I believe they are an excellent value. And while I would argue that the quality of the toy has gone down since the mid 90's they are still fun, charming little toys. The chocolate is still as tasty. I still have all the toys I got from the eggs when I was in high school and had the good fortune to visit Europe and Mexico. That was 14+ years ago and my son now enjoys playing with them.

    I do buy other kinder chocolates like bueno and hippos when I see them but really I'm in it for the surprise. I'm just a sucker for sweet little mysteries wrapped up in chocolate. And really, when you put it like that, who isn't?

    i know perugina used to make (large) chocolate eggs with a "surprise" inside and i still see them being sold here in the states (couldn't tell you where off the top of my head but probably italian specialty shops?)...i THINK these days the surprise toy is instead now a surprise of more chocolate (smaller eggs, or a chocolate bunny, etc)...

    Those Not-Martha homemade eggs are amazing and something I don't have the gumption to attempt. Sadly.
    And Disney Magic I remember those. I received a handful of those before they were banned too. Still have those little character toys too. :)

    oh holy hell...parents that cannot be responsible parents and tell their kids to quit shoving everything in their mouth! I think I got a few of those eggs at one point in time...is this why the 'toys' in the cracker jacks got all cheezy? (now I kinda want a kinder egg for myself...hahahhaha)

    Good luck to you on your search for these wonderful eggs OP!

    I guess if you give this type of candy eggs to kids at school and one of the kids should stuff
    the entire egg in their mouth and "choke" that equals - lawsuit. :roll:

    crazy but anythings possible....

    No kidding. I grew up in a house with two sets of stairs, no baby gates, no outlet covers, baby locks on toilets, none of that crap. My brother and I were fine. Of course when I had kids I got the outlet covers, etc. But you know what was dangerous? My father in law giving my son LifeSavers candy when he was like one.

    I think those eggs look cute.

    I don't think it's all that crazy. I mean, a tiny plastic toy inside of a piece of chocolate seems kind of strange, and there have been a handful of recorded deaths of kids choking on the toy inside the egg. A handful worldwide isn't really huge numbers, but that's still dead kids. It seems like kind of a stupid thing to ban, but it seems like an equally stupid thing to get angry over not being able to have. The toys look shitty and I hear the chocolate is real rubbery and not that tasty, I think it's a matter of people wanting something because they can't have it.
