The long wait is over! You can now purchase Kinder Eggs in the U.S. without the anxiety of feeling like you’re sneaking in contraband. A delightful combination of chocolate and a hidden toy—what child wouldn’t be excited? However, the inclusion of small toys in food products has raised concerns due to choking hazards, leading to the ban of Kinder Surprise eggs in the U.S. back in the 1970s after Ferrero introduced them.
While you might still find them in select shops thanks to daring store owners, purchasing them comes with a hefty dose of guilt: “Should I risk it? My kids would adore these, but they’re illegal. What should I do?” Or perhaps you bought them, only to hover protectively over your child, fearing you could become the cautionary tale: “That negligent parent bought a Kinder Surprise egg and almost harmed their child.”
Now, you can put those worries to rest because Ferrero is set to launch a new product here—Kinder Joy eggs. Although not quite as iconic as the original, they offer a fun alternative. Kinder Joy eggs are split into two separate compartments: one contains a surprise toy, while the other is filled with delicious chocolate cream and crispy wafer balls. Your kids will still be thrilled, and you can enjoy them guilt-free without the fear of smuggling.
As someone who has always been overly cautious about choking hazards, I never indulged in Kinder Surprise eggs myself, despite growing up in an era where such risks were commonplace—like when my aunt would bake a dime into birthday cakes for good luck. We all secretly hoped to be that lucky kid who discovered the coin in their slice of lemon bundt. Now, with Kinder Joy eggs, I can offer my children a treat without the worry of potential hazards. A definite win-win!
