    I used love these as a kid. Very varying quality of toys in them though it needs to be said. Sometimes you’d get like a 10-piece mini jigsaw puzzle and feel absolutely robbed.

    Always thought it had weirdly delicious chocolate, too.

      In my childhood they used to have much better toys. Even whole series of cartoon characters.

        The series of cartoon character collectibles were such a disappointment, though. If it’s not assembled from at least 7 weirdly bendy plastic parts it’s not a proper kinder surprise toy!

        Also the old 2-part eggs were the only proper ones. The new ones where both parts are tethered together are probably better in a few technical ways, but the old ones were so satisfying to open! And you could fill them with water and baking powder and use the explosion to launch little pebbles straight up.
