Kinder Eggs

I posted about this the last time I was in Prague, but then some of you didn't know me. So I've decided to post tonight about something cool from the European novelty culture. I submit to you... Kinder Eggs. Here's how they work. You buy the chocolate egg sealed in tin foil. You unwrap the egg, eat the chocolate, and remove the plastic pill from inside the egg. You open the plastic container in the egg to reveal a hidden toy. Now, the one I'm going to show you on this blog is pretty basic, but I've had some in the past that were extremely intricate and took quite a while to assemble. Whether difficult or not, they all come with basic instructions. You put the pieces together as illustrated and–voila!–you've got your Kinder Surprise. I've documented the entire process below.
