Agreed, Kinder Joy are just sadness and everywhere, Kinder Surprise are fantastic with a cool little toy inside. Kinder Surprise are still banned in the US, even in whatever state you're from. Usually it's the Canadian border where you hear about them being confiscated and fines of $300+ per egg for trying to import them because the FDA is worried that some idiot is going to let their baby, or some drunken fool is going to swallow the toy capsule and will choke. Sometimes you can find them in a store where people somehow snuck them in for super inflated prices, but standard import for Surprise is a no.
That's ridiculous. If Kinder Surprise is illegal only the criminals will have the eggs and the toys. Everyone should have them so they can all surprise each other.
They don't really call them "kinder überraschung" do they?
Though at this point nothing would surprise me. Do you know what they re-named "Home Alone" as?
"Kevin ist allein zuhause" Which translates to "Kevin is home alone". I asked my german friend why stop there? Why not make it:
"Kevin ist allein zu hause (und dann kommen Diebe und er muss kämpfen, es ist schwer, aber er ist klug und gewinnt am Ende)",
Which translates to "Kevin is home alone (and then thieves come and he has to fight, it is hard but he is clever and wins in the end)"
Oh yes, can confirm Swedish "Kinder överraskning". Some of my favourite translations for movies are : "The Man from Elysian Fields" translation "The Escort", "Angel’s Dance" trans "Lethal angel", "Dream of an Insomniac" trans "Blue eyes" and many others. The funny part is I didn't translate any of those titles, they were given new titles in English.

Not that unusual though, seeing as y'all call them Kinder surprise :D
