Kinder eggs!

My Kinder Surprise Adventure, by teacake

OH MY GOD. HELLO KITTY KINDER SURPRISE.

THE EGG. Despite my best efforts it was melted and flattened somewhat as it was 35 yesterday. Oh look, a cat hair

OPENED. Melty dents

As you can see the chocolate is thin and the toy case is huge and, as Miss Chicken pointed out, tightly sealed.

HELLO KITTY! There were two parts to this figure, the wings and the kitty

The egg also contains instructions (shown) for putting on the wings lol, AND a paper that folds into a background setting for Hello Kitty.

A nice toy. However, I wonder how easily the bow and magic wand break off and how the toy is put together. Once it comes apart, it could present a choking hazard. Kids are rough on their toys (more so than adults).

Truly Hello Kitty is an agent of death.

As was mentioned upthread Aged 3 and Up is clearly marked, in more than one place, if I recall. Keeping the smaller bits from becoming choking hazards is the responsibility of the supervising adult, not the Kinder Surprise company.

that reminds me a bit of that fairy oddparents episode where the universe is being taken over by gigglepies: furry cute creatures that come in fruit loop boxes and hypnotize their victims by cuteness into surrendering their planets to them

Hello Kitty in her setting

The fiancé got a four-pack the other day (2 Hello Kitty figures guaranteed, which sorta feels like cheating to me - there were no guaranteed figures back in my day, we were way more hardcore about Kinder Eggs back then).

She got this one.

I got this one (I told her not to pack one of the eggs in with my lunch, she did not listen ):

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I have now bought 8 of them one at a time and each one was Hello Kitty and each one was different. In all the years I've been buying them I've never had a featured toy not be in every egg. Maybe in some other sad place this is the case.

My favorite is the snow one with the little antlers

 

[SPCTRE]

Yeah, Hello Kitty apparently likes to feed deer. I had no idea her character had that much of a backstory.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Did you know, and I hesitate to bring this up but.. Hello Kitty is not a cat?

*record scratch*

What's next, Sonic not being a hedgehog?

 

[MacLeod]

Well have you ever seen a blue hedgehog?

 

[SPCTRE]

The worst part is once you realize that he's actually a cyclops. I mean, look at him. One giant eye with two pupils.

My ex won this cute jade box on ebay for a dollar.. when it arrived we found out shipping was 54 bucks... she forgot to read the small print.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Yes that it is exactly what is like getting seduced into Hello Kitty collecting at 112 calories a pop.

THREAD WHY YOU MAKE ME EAT SO MUCH CHOCOLATE WHY WHY

Well just because you buy the toy comes in a chocolate egg doesn't mean you have to eat the chocolate.

Well just because you buy the toy comes in a chocolate egg doesn't mean you have to eat the chocolate.

Years ago, a cereal company had this promotion going on where they included a computer game on a CD in each box. I remember one time when I really wanted the game but didn't like the cereal. So as soon as we got the groceries home, I opened the box, grabbed the game out of it, and handed the box to my dad. He asked what he was supposed to do with it.

"Eat it," I told him. "I just wanted the game, and you can have the rest of it."

Since my dad liked that kind of cereal, it was a mutually satisfying solution.
