My smuggler carreer is over

[Lemonslice 4,836]

I kind of liked being a smuggler though

It's not the same! Where's the milky chocolate on the inside?

I should add, the toys in Canada just aren't the same as they used to be; they've now branded them with Hotwheels and Barbie, whereas before they were more gender neutral and in my eyes, more fun.

Kinder Eggs have different "Editions" and the toys are different... I prefer toys that you have to build and with some mechanical action.

I was able to find them in Boston at different "gourmet" or European grocery stores (last time here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/euromart-dorchester - they also have cheaper Eastern European eggs)

Oh! I just saw those in World Market today! I didn't realize they were Kinder Eggs, though. But I did think to myself "They look like Kinder Eggs!" lol

[Lemonslice 4,836]

I do not think the brand shown in the article picture is Kinder, not sure though. I prefer the Kinder two-colour chocolate.

So my mom can't sent me kinder eggs in the mail? When she sends the case of KD?

That really sucks... I like the toys!!!

I load up on Kinder Eggs every time I go to Jordan. My husband insists American children are deprived because they aren't sold here

[VeeNDee 44]

Awww you are right. I was hoping to get access to Kinder Eggs but these are just some kind of a ripoff. The real deal please!! It doesn't mean Kinder Eggs are legal - the headline is misleading. Sadness. By the way Boston-Montreal, I agree with you that the toys you have to put together are the most fun!

Remember how disappointing it was to get a puzzle?

[canada_socks 97]

I loved getting the puzzles!

I've never heard of these before and have made numerous trips to Canada. Nothing about it looks good...... wouldn't you bite into the inner shell? On a side note, my wife keeps a constantly stocked glass container of Canadian Smarties in the fridge. Her former coworkers bought her 43 boxes before she left. Yum

No, the two halves come apart very easily and the inner plastic container is much smaller than the outer smaller egg.

If you shake it when it’s wrapped you can feel the container inside rattling.

They were one of my daughter’s favourite treats when she was little.

Seems pretty fun. I'm gonna try one next trip up north. Hope I get a cool toy. Last time I tried one of the Aero bars. Couldn't resist cus they're everywhere and they look awesome. I was happy with it....

[Marilyn. 340]

am I the only one that thinks the chocolate of a Kinder Egg is not that great?

the toy is cool though

[His karma 20]

LOL I am not a big fan of the chocolate either, but my younger kids love them. I could buy them and kep them happy for days ata time. The build it yourself toys are the best!!

Time to add it to the list of not available in the US.
