Kinder Joy Eggs

Kinder Joy or Kinder Eggs are a chocolate novelty popular in Germany and Austria. Each egg is made up of two halves. One side has two crunchy chocolates submerged in a creamy sauce. The other half contains a surprise toy that could be of popular licenses such as Star Wars or Barbie mini toys or of other types. The tiys are usually in need of assembly and since these are German-designed, usually involve very clever assembly and use.

My first two eggs yielded a big dragster with extremely "rolly" wheels and a mirror-image tracing/drawing tool. Neat!

I still have a few eggs in the ref for later :)

Unlike Frankenstein who takes no responsibility for his creations and disowns them almost as soon as they are completed (much like the original Dr. Frankenstein), Finklestein takes full responsibility over Sally and acts as an over-protective father and in some ways an overbearing husband (thus explaining Sally's attempts to run away) by keeping her under lock and key under the pretext of shelterin...

Migrating to Facebook

After a tragedy in the family and a slow return to my hobbies, I've realized that I've been posting more on Facebook. It's easier, faster and the audience response is faster. So, posting here might be spasmodic at best for the time being. Bear with me as I decide what to do with my blogs, thanks!
