Badvertising: Kinder Surprise
http://www.hecklerspray.com/ badvertising-kinder-surprise/ 200814032.phpEveryone likes Kinder Surprise - the fiddly wrapper, the insubstantial chocolate, the crap toy that you’ll either get bored of within thirty seconds or choke to death upon (thereby becoming a playground urban myth for many a century to come, just like that boy everyone ‘knew’ who swallowed a biro lid).
