Hi there,

Kinder-Eggs are around the world.... except in the USA. The idea of 
having a plastic toy inside an edible product is a major no-no at 
Lawsuit-Land (Good'ol US of A).

They are *really* big thing in France and Japan. You'll find them almost 
everywhere (Latin America, Europe, Asia...).

Many adults just buy'em for the toys. In fact, they are prized 
colelctibles. 

The toys come in "series". For example, dinosaur series, where you have 
from 10 to 15 different toys in a series.

The appearance of a new series is a "big event" for the collectors. 
There are websites about it, where rumors spread of "new" series and 
about "revivals" of old series.
