I'm not familiar. Where are those from?

Japan. Just google Japanese yuri.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought we were having a serious interesting conversation here.

Who said we werenโ€™t?

On a serious note, though, American kinder eggs are sadly different. Theyโ€™re the โ€œtwo halves with tiny plastic spoonโ€ kind instead of the โ€œget banned for choking childrenโ€ kind. I kind of prefer the latter. Iโ€™m lucky enough to have a friend from Belgium who visits every year or so and brings a bunch of โ€˜em over.

I've had those. In Europe, in fact. That's a Kinder Joy, not a Surprise.

If you're American, I recommend you try and find a Yowie somewhere. Apparently they're sold there. I don't actually recommend the productโ€”unfortunately new Yowies are just as bad as if not worse than Kinder Surprise, unlike the vastly superior version they used to makeโ€”but just to see the way the skirt a loophole in America's law. Instead of being a completely enclosed (but hollow) case of chocolate, as both Surprises and old Yowies are, new Yowies' eggs have small "wings"which poke out the side of the chocolate.
