Ok I am sure many of you know about the Kinder egg.. This is a small chocolate egg that you can buy which comes with a toy and is normally for kids.. See below.
![[image loading]](http://thegreatestmonth.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/08_kinder_egg.jpg)
This magical invention (chocolate and a toy) has delighted kids for many years and me and my mates all used to love them when we where kids.
We recently came up with a game that you can play with a friend/co-worker called the Kinderegg cup.. You basically buy 2 kinder eggs, you each pick your own egg and then you rate the toy on the below critieras.. Whoever has the best toy wins and is the new Kinder Egg champion
Rules 1) Toy Cars win.. Like a top trump card the toy car is the king of kinderegg toys, if you get one.. you win.. it has to have 4 wheels and colours but basically if you get a toy car you win
2) + points for the following + If you have to put it together + if it has lots of colour + if it does somthing + if its the best toy out of the range it is in. (you get a leaflet showing the others etc..) + for stickers :D 3) and again negative points for the below - for not having moving parts - for not being able to put it together.
4) you add your + points up and debate the worth of your toy, if the person your playing with agrees your toy is better.. you win. If a choice can't be made, either agree a draw (lame) or get an idepentant person to say which is better!
Eg. A spining top which you have to m ake which contains stickers and colours would beat a plain statue of a character (like sherk or sumthing)
It might be a bit sad .. but it makes lunch at work a little bit so often once or twice a week when we play it so i just thought i'd share it with you all !
Edit: we can also use this as a kinderegg appreciation thread so please say the wonderful toys you have got :D

Americans can't have these AFAIK (toy inside food vs lawsuit against everything = banned from stores)
I will play this vs my GF tonight however. Great game
|
I remember when I was a kid I used to put some baking soda and some water inside, shake them and throw them and they would explode. Fun stuff 
Nothing to do with the topic tho lol.
|
These are the best things ever. The above poster is right though; they're extremely hard to find in America. We had an international market that sold them despite the ban, but they finally started cracking down on it, and they don't carry them anymore.

I had a giant Kinder egg for Easter. It was joyous.
|
Heh. I should have a basketful of those little plastic eggs left form my childhood as well. Should buy some indeed, haven't had those for like a decade.
|
Man, now I really want to go out and by a kinderegg
|
When I buy them for my kids now I am disappoint because the toy quality seems to have dropped from when I got them as a kid.
I once got a small Pig, it's back opened up to reveal paints, it's head was a water holder, and it's tail a pull out paintbrush. It would have won your Kinderegg Cup 3 times in a row, it was a glorious day.

It is so sad kids from USA never had opportunity to enjoy pure happiness that comes with Kindereggs.
Kindereggs were through my entire childhood some kind of cheap and easily accessible happiness machine. -,-
I still have more then thousand toys in bunch of boxes somewhere in old garage, I might go and look for them one of these days and I will surely buy Kinderegg first time I go out... oh memories, sweet memories. :-)
Btw, nice game!

I miss living in Berlin so much...
|
It seems that the only way to get them now is through relatives in a European nation. Some of my family came by to visit and I got some. I hope I haven't eaten them all by now, I'd like to try this game...

We're actually not allowed to have them because of choking hazardous parts. Which is ridiculous, considering the egg is pretty large and hard to choke on in my opinion. I mean. Who puts the whole egg in their mouth and not chew??
Either way... THERE are some places in New York City that sell these eggs... So I might just try this.

Man I've never seen one of these in my life..... I feel so robbed..
|
used to love these as a kid, it has been far too long since i had one.

I'm pretty sure the harzardous parts are the ones the "surprise" is built by. There are often fairly small plastic parts that you build together into a mini transformer or something.

That really is more than unfortunate and a joke to be honest, they taste pretty good... choking hazardous parts? I mean that might be something new - but there are not only children in the US who potentially could choke on small parts(god forbid stupid adults who try to swallow that egg)... where is the battlecry for self responsibility?
