Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Looks like the reviews on this product are all over the place...either love 'em or hate 'em. So here is the deal. This product is based on the German sold "Kinder Überraschung". (See picture below. The toy came in the yellow plastic container.) During our Army assignment in Germany during the 1980's and 90's we bought hundreds of these. The toy inside became a huge collector craze. We still have 400+ in boxes somewhere. Ferrero Rocher tried to import these into the U.S. some years ago, but were stopped because the toys inside were too small for children under 3 years and an issue of a food product being in close proximity to plastics. So, the company came up with this idea. As for the two main issues people are having with this...the taste of the chocolate and the toy. I never really liked the chocolate, but my kids did. For me it was too sweet, but they loved it. I bought three sets, for girls and boys, one for each of my kids who are now in their mid-twenties. The package was a plain plastic container, but all eggs came intact. They report that the chocolate tastes exactly like what they remember it tasting like in Germany. As for the toy. Basically it's the same concept as the original ones. The quality of toys today are not as good a quality as the ones 30 years ago, but then, what is anymore. Bottom line, if you are familiar with the originals you will love these. If you aren't, it's a 50-50 proposition. Enjoy.
