Now you can finally enjoy Kinder Eggs in the U.S. without the worry of feeling like you’re engaged in some sort of illicit activity! A chocolate treat with a surprise toy inside—what child wouldn’t be excited? However, there was a significant issue: hiding small toys within food isn’t the safest practice (hello, choking hazard). The beloved Kinder Surprise eggs were banned in the United States during the 1970s, shortly after the Italian brand Ferrero began producing them.
While some adventurous shopkeepers might still stock them, purchasing Kinder Surprise eggs means grappling with a hefty dose of guilt: “Hmm. My kids would adore these, but they’re illegal. What should I do?” Or perhaps you cave and buy them, constantly hovering over your child because you fear becoming the cautionary tale: “That reckless parent bought a Kinder Surprise egg and ALMOST HARMED HER CHILD.”
But now, you can put those fears to rest! Ferrero is launching a new product called Kinder Joy eggs in the U.S. While they might not be as thrilling as the original version, it’s better than nothing. The Kinder Joy eggs come as two separate, individually wrapped halves. One half contains the surprise toy, while the other is filled with crunchy wafer balls and chocolate cream, along with a tiny scoop. So your kids will still be thrilled, and you won’t need to feel like a criminal for bringing them home.
I’ve always had a heightened fear of choking, so I never bought one—odd, considering I was raised in the ’70s, when my aunt would bake a dime into cakes on birthdays for “good luck.” We all hoped to be the one who bit into that dirty coin, hidden in the lemon bundt. Ah, nostalgia! Now I have a safer candy option for my kids without that pesky “choking hazard.” A total win-win!
