Kids’ sanity no match for Kinder Surprise ad Kinder Surprise, a product apparently sold mostly in Canada and the U.K., is some kind of chocolate egg that has a toy inside. Judging by this old commercial, it caters mostly to children who don’t mind having wrenching nightmares starring an insane, unintelligible Humpty Dumpty. Extra points for anyone who can decipher a single word that comes out of this evil egghead’s mouth. Possibly he’s a character from some long-lost TV show that wreaked its own havoc with kids’ brains. They seem to have switched to more staid commercials recently, perhaps after losing share to the local loony bins. Via YesButNoButYes. —Posted by Tim Nudd

There was way too much blow circulating through agencies in the 80's.

Kinder Eggs are amazingly delicious - but apparently they're a "choking hazard" in the united states. Typical way to ruin all the fun!

These eggs are very popular in Europe and Canada and actually adults collect the toys inside them. They are not officially available in the US though because god forbid a kid ate a toy, and a litigation happy lawyer would get their hands on the case.

Ferrero is the brand.
