What the hell are Kinder Surprise Toys?

For those out-of-the know, Kinder Surprises are tasty chocolate eggs that contain inside of them a capsule, not unlike the ones from Dragon Ball Z or Kirby.
Inside that capsule, there is generally a 4 part toy that you have to assemble. It ends up being a cool racecar, or a caveman. It even used to come with stickers. Customization!
The last Kinder Surprise I purchased had a 1 part toy, and it came with instructions on "how to shake" it.
Instructions on how to shake an object. Because I did not now how to.

This is one of those times.
We have a news thread
Nobody uses it
I'll consistently be a stick in the mud until it gets used
It's not drama

I've never heard of Kinder Surprise either. Ever. It must be a regional thing.

Speaking of the kinder surprise I know and love:
They are an egg-shaped, chocolate candy that comes in a white and orange foil wrapper.
You peel off the foil as you would an egg shell to discover a milk chocolate egg. If you break off a piece, the inside of the egg is white chocolate.
Inside the egg (it is hollow, and the shell is quite thin, but still satisfying) is usually an orange or yellow plastic cyclinder. You would pop it open, and inside, there used to be a multiple-pieced toy with a small sheet of instructions.
They weren't hard to put together, a child could still do it. But usually you did need the instructions to figure out what the fuck your toy was supposed to be once it was created.
And yes, it usually came with stickers. Most of them also usually had some kind of button or press that would make them move or make noise.
Keep in mind these were tiny plastic toys, you could hold them between your thumb and index finger easily. They were pretty fucking cool regardless.

I think they are banned in America because they are supposedly not child safe.
Too many small parts for a child to young choke and suffocate on.
