Oh, man, I ate those things like CRAZY when I was an exchange student in Mexico. And I like the toys, myself.
Then I came back to the States and I couldn't find them anywhere. What a downer!
I finally found some at a Bosnian diner--they had imported them from Europe! Yay! It was so fantastic to eat that amazing Bosnian food and find Kinder eggs on the counter!
MORE KINDER EGGS! The world would be better with more Kinder eggs!

Kinder Surprise, also known as a Kinder Egg (Kinder being German meaning "Children"), is a children's confection in the form of a chocolate egg containing a small toy, often to be assembled by the child or possibly a supervising adult.
Kinder Surprise originated in 1972 in Italy. The manufacturer is Ferrero. The toys are designed by both inside designers and external freelancers, for example the French artist André Roche based in Munich, and manufactured by many companies worldwide such as Produzioni Editoriali Aprile, a small company based in Turin, Italy, run and founded by two brothers, Ruggero and Valerio Aprile.
Kinder Eggs containing toys are not suitable for children under the age of three due to the small parts which may be ingested or inhaled. They are sold all over the world; however, they are banned in the United States where the Food and Drug Administration has deemed the encapsulated toy to be a choking hazard. Kinder Egg-like confections are available, but only in a form filled with small candies and/or stickers. There are some stores in the United States that sell genuine Kinder Eggs, often in conjunction with other imported British or other European sweets, although their importation is technically illegal due to the FDA ban.[1]
In Europe, their popularity has spread beyond their intended market, becoming a minor cult phenomenon among discerning adults. There is even a thriving collector's market for the toys. This is especially true in Germany, where the manufacturer includes higher-quality toys than those available elsewhere. The main subject of collection are ever-changing series of small hand-painted figures (which don't have to be assembled), which are said to be in every seventh egg (ad slogan: "Jetzt in jedem siebten Ei"). Seasonal eggs are introduced around the holidays, such as the limited-edition creche collections (featuring such characters as the three kings, baby Jesus, and assorted barnyard animals) found around Christmas, and the huge ones found at Easter (extremely popular in Italy).

I'm 27 and still love the taste of kinder eggs!
When i was growing up that's all i ever brought with my pocket money i had shelves full of toys, I used to love putting the toys together with the little instructions that were provided. the toys nowadays seem to be already made for you, which kind of takes the fun out of it! but they still taste great.
