Kinder Surprise!



Was reading an interesting post about... Kinder Eggs, haha.
I haven't looked recently but I hear from some distraught people that Kinder Eggs don't come like they used to anymore (at least not in Singapore).

But anyway, this article discusses the product as a designed experience—purchasing the chocolate egg, eating away at the outer layer to get to the toy inside (which one is the primary objective, I wonder?) and finally finding the distinctive yellow pill-like container which houses the toy that requires you to follow instructions to build. The article likens the experience to that of a Matryoshka doll, or Russian doll as is more commonly known.

Hmm now I feel like having a Kinder Egg.
