Isn't that the Canadian version, avec l'emballage bilingue?!
We have multi-lingual packaging here too. Where I’m from it’s usually quadrilingual, but it could have more or fewer.
Well at least the ones we usually get here say Kinder Überaschung
That word looks like "over-ashing", like a teenager overreacting to something their parents said by burning down the house.
It's actually "Überraschung", two r's. Overreacting by developing several rashes?
über - over, above
rasch - rash (adverb), quick, hasty
So a literal translation of Überraschung would be something like overrashness. Something that happens very quickly and unexpectedly.
That just means Canadians are better than Americans too then.
😮
A joke, building on OP. No human is inherently better or worse than another.
There are US states who’d do well to become Canada’s 11th province.
4th territory
And they can fuck off. America is completely incompatible with Canadian values. The Democratic party is so far right leaning that they're almost a 1:1 to the Canadian Conservative party. Combine that with the demographics and Canada would immediately be thrown into a rightwing spiral.
No thanks. If they want to join Canada they can emmigrate like anyone else.
So Trump is not worse than your mom?
But Kinder chocolate sucks. It's not even better than Hershey's.
Kinder chocolate isn't good, but Hershey's is straight trash
Hershey, what if chocolate tastes like vomit?
I'm not disagreeing with you
You are entitled to your opinion. I even am known to enjoy Hershey's from time to time. However I don't always want noticeable levels of Butyric acid in my chocolate.
In which country are you making the comparison?
Because that matters to chocolate
Im USian. I prefer Lindt chocolate when I get chocolate at all. I don't eat many sweets these days.
Loved these as a kid. They're the same in Canada
Came here to say the same thing. My kids love them into their teens. Proud Canadian who can have toys in our food, without fear of accidentally eating the toys.
Any day of the year.
These are so disappointing nowadays that I don't bother trying anymore.
Two or three decades ago, the inside was gooey and runny. Eating one of these was a messy but delicious affair. Now every time I buy one, it feels like a dried paste that has nothing in common with what I was eating as a child. For a while I thought they were just old or bad but apparently it's just how they are now.
and to any americans wondering why someone would even eat a cadburry creme egg outside of easter: in britain they're made of this magical substance called "food" and it really elevates the experience
Wow cool, shitty chocolate with a cheap piece of plastic inside.
in europe the kinder chocolate is much higher quality than in the us
What's the difference between the European version and the us version
The European version has the toy directly inside the chocolate egg, like you see in the photo.
The US version has the egg split in two inside. Both sides are plastic shells. One side has the toy, and the other side has a weird creme that you scoop out with an included plastic spoon.
Europe (at least Germany, primarily in Summer) has that very same kinder joy though?
For a long time there was no US version because one dumbass kid choked somewhere sometime or the other. Rather than accept the kid was foolish they banned them outright.
Well can't argue with that
True! I used to buy these every time! The gifts inside where insane for the time.
There was a place down the street selling these and we bought a few. We felt naughty.
The true reason
I guess in US you can't name something Kinder and not have all the government trying to fuck it.
