In the UK the ‘fun’ has been removed for health and safety reasons.

Each egg now contains a pre-assembled lump of coal. On the bright side, kids can burn it to keep warm.

The wrapper’s the same – I saw these on the shelf this morning actually, along with other easter products and thought ‘already’? I used to eat a lot of Kinder eggs ; p

I agree. I would have completely screwed it up. I suspect maybe he had more than one egg so he could get a complete wrapper, but even just taking it off without messing it up, then putting that back on believably, I think that would be a feat. Then taking the egg apart and back together – another possible source of total failure. Seems like a thoughtful and personal proposal. Plus, dude, nice ring!!!

It’s been a while since I’ve bought one but I’ve not noticed a change. They look the same on the UK Ferrero website:

The plastic egg changed to a hinged affair some time ago but I thought the foil was still the same.

A nice change from the usual premarital surprise of a positive-reading pregnancy kit.

I brought two cases of the things to SDCC one year for my IRC group, no one said a thing to me, though I’m sure the hotel maids would have a few choice words about all the toys and chocolate bits in our hotel rooms…

Someone was thinking of the children.

There used to be a “Russian” grocery store near me that carried them. Wonder what else he may have been importing?

There’s a petition for that. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/allow-import-and-sale-kinder-surprise-eggs-united-states/K2V8MhsX?utm_source=wh.gov&utm_medium=shorturl&utm_campaign=shorturl

Assault rifles OK, Kinder Surprise, banned.

Unfortunately Kinder Eggs are banned in the USA (Choking hazard in food for kids). If customs see them they’ll take them from you and give you a stern lecture. http://www.cbc.ca/news/offbeat/story/2012/07/18/kinder-eggs-illegal-candy-canada-border.html

Sweet. I also like the fact the robot/figure is one of my obsessions from a few years ago, Stikfas, Mechana Robot FTW, BTW.

Now that they have changed the wrapper (at least in the UK) this would be almost impossible.

His astonishing work simply putting the foil back on without causing suspicion is worthy of great applause. Adding a ring and personalized robot inside only ups my awe.
