~~The Little EGG Joy~~. Review on Kinder Joy

All of us had heard a said ‘Great things come in small packages’. Recent past I was re-introduced to such a small package:)

I was in one of the nearest chain store, when my eyes caught the heap of white-orange JOYS! TRING! The thought splashed – how did I manage ignoring it for so long? I loved the JOY specially the magik part! Wham! I have changed so much! Those small wonders are still dazzling on my book-rack. I do clean them regular and I won’t lie. I even do play with them at time. Still I managed staying away from the joy. Well, I am talking about Kinder Joy - magik egg chocolate.

Open the white-orange egg shaped JOY… Undrape the halves to find the little wonder inside. One half of the egg contains the yummy part and the other revealing the real catch! It contains plastic pieces, paper [looks like some instruction sheet] and sticker. Follow the instruction sheet and assemble those small pieces – and that’s a small JOY oops a TOY! With the help of those stickers the toy is made more attractive. I didn’t think twice before picking up couple of JOYS. I mean Kinder Joy.

Some info collected form net on Kinder Joy – originated in 1972, the word came from German – mean children. Popularity had gone beyond the intended market. [Am proud that am part of the extended target market:D]

Now let me talk about the edible part – it has two round chocolate coated wafers in milk cream. There is a small spatula inside the egg to enjoy the combination [chocolate with milk cream]. Need not to use our finger to take care of cream [I bet all choco lovers would agree with me that we are not satisfied even if a bit is left]. The choco-wafer part just melts away once put inside mouth & the cream leaves a long effect to relish. The contrast of chocolate & [not too sweet] milk makes this one a real JOY. But the span is too short by the time we finish the edible part. And being a ‘grownup childlike’ – I keep looking for ‘thoda aur’ [little more].

And that’s where Ferrero [manufacturer of this wonder] sensed the pulse of their customer. The small toy inside other half makes one to forget the yuummmm choco-creamy effect & get occupied looking into those parts. Except initial 2-3 times, one would tend to play around with the pieces to complete the toy making [and that’s fun too]. Me & Sam still vie the toy making task so that we can relish the choco-cream part afterwards while rolling around the toy. And don't blame me if you get addicted in collecting those small one or to complete the set.

The funny part is the egg chocolate doesn’t contain egg.

Ingredients: Sugar, edible vegetable oil, skimmed milk powder, hazelnut milk powder, wheat flour, cocoa-mass. This is manufactured in Pune [Sajith / Carol – if you get to read this, please ensure you get the information if there is a factory outlet in Pune:D] I am able to provide this info as I have it with me right now [and am desperate to undrape the egg].

Now comes the price part – INR 30 for just 20 gm? Doesn’t his JOY sound un-economic? No way! We can’t associate a price tag with JOY! And trust me – this little wonder actually brings joy in all. Let’s forget the calorie intake for a moment & cheer for Kinder Joy! And needless to mention, it is difficult to stop flaunting those small toys on office desk or computer table or book rack.

*Warning:

*1. The toy size being small, it is advisable to keep away from kids under 3 years of age

1. The egg to be placed in a dry place to retain the taste

Happy RRCing, when am actually enjoying the choco-cream err busy making the TOY:D
