The good man gives the bad man the Kinder egg, and while he is assembling the toy or comparing it to the rest of his collection, the good man boots him in the nuts...

When you outlaw Kinder Eggs, only outlaws will have Kinder Eggs

We have them, it just doesn't have the toy.

I was born in a Kinder Egg. Now that they are banned I can never go home again. But luckily i got my grannies Leggs' Egg.

We have them, we just don't have the toys.

It's because even though there is an age warning on it, some Americans are stupid and don't see it!

Is any other cheap plastic toy sold inside a piece of candy?

To be fair, odd to us as Americans too. Americans safety laws are pretty schizophrenic

They actually have these!!! Just like a kinder egg but instead of being size of your palm they're half the length of your forearm!! But still illegal in USA.

There are two types of kinder eggs. The original ones that the entire world has, and the version that has been altered so that is legal to sell in america. It's got the same name, it's by the same maker, and the packaging looks similar. But they're not the same. The one sold in America are legal to be sold in america. They're just not the same as the rest of the world's kinder eggs.

Nope. They're just not Kinder Eggs, they're Kinder Joy. Not the same product.

No, they changed the cracker jacks about maybe 15 years ago (?) so there's no toy inside anymore. What a disappointment!! I bought a box and it had no toy, just a code on a piece of paper inside a striped red and white wrapper and the 'prize' was to go online and play some games. Ugh!!!

Kinder surprises(chocolate egg, splits in two, toy in capsule inside) are banned in the USA, while kinder joys(the chocolate/crème on one side, toy in a separate packaging on the other) are not

The name is the same (kinder egg) and they look similar (egg shaped, orange/white package) but USA kinder eggs are completely different from the kinder eggs the rest of the world enjoys. I can understand your confusion.

There are two different varieties sold worldwide. The original "Überraschungsei" (surprise egg) seems to be banned in the States. It's hollow with the toy in a yellow capsule in the middle, surrounded by two half eggs, white on the inside, milk chocolate on the outside. The other one is sold as "Kinder Joy" in Germany (and apparently available in the US). It's made of plastic. One half is filled with a chocolate milk cream, the other half holds a little spoon for the cream and a toy.

They aren't the same thing. Same name, similar but the difference between steak and grilled tofu. It's a long set of comments to scroll through but there's several explanations as to the difference, if you care, which really....it's no big deal.

Kinder chocolate is freaking delicious, I just ate a 3 pack :)

Although people will disagree, I agree with you. when I was a kid (under 10) I didn't mind the chocolate. The next 20 years (yes ...I'm an adult buying kinder eggs) I would unpeel the foil and straighten it out, crack the seam and leave two egg halves of chocolate untouched, put in a baggie and given to someone who liked the chocolate) To be fair, I don't like all sweets anymore not just kinder egg chocolate

The chocolate is AMAZING what do you mean? They sell the chocolate bars (Kinder Buenos) and I love those things. (Maybe the chocolate is different slightly but idk)
