I may end up with both! I'm hoping when I go to make my final selection that one of them gives me some sort of sign
I already have two boys, dragonfly, but I think a trio works the best, hence me trying to choose one more!

Grunk does have some nice ears!
Dipper is the favorite of my coworkers but my friend is likely keeping him for breeding down the road.
Bill is a sweet little thing. You can tell he has a head for mischief lol

They really are although my current one is a non-snuggler unless I put him in a scarf first lol. They are super cute though.

Isn't that the truth! They are strange and mysterious creatures to be sure.
I see you are from Pittsburgh. I'm the only non-native in the family and I think it is an amazing town. How do you like it up there?

I was just having this exact convo with his breeder. He is so delightfully mouse sized at the moment which just adds to the effect

Thanks for writing your post. I too am obsessed with kinder. I'll have to take a look see next time I am in the vicinity of Claire's. Thanks for the tip!

My friend runs a rattery and she is letting me adopt a boy to go with my other two teenage rats who are distant cousins to the babies below. I'm having a hard time picking because both rats are sooooo cute! Will you please vote in my poll and comment to help me decide? Thanks!

Thanks, Carrehz!
Tell me more about this Claire's knock off, please, Khoufu.
The label has nothing to do with it. It really is primarily Mars Co's clout. You can find the Kinder hippos and just regular chocolate and drugstores, just not Surprise. That is interesting about Joy being for warmer climates since I first found them in Malta.

Any locals willing to help me out? I'm not planning on visiting either country again any time soon and I don't have domestic accounts anyway. Feel free to PM me. Thanks!

King Cake is associated with Epiphany and Carnival. It is a round cake with a hole in the middle and can have variety of fillings. There is usually frosting with green, yellow, and purple sprinkles on top. Traditionally, a plastic baby is hidden in the cake and whoever finds it in their slice will have good luck for a year and have to buy the King Cake for the krewe next year. It is a lot of fun!

I mispoke (mistyped?). For sawdust and such, that law wasn't really being heavily, if at all, enforced since there wasn't exactly a way to arrange compliance at the time. I wish there was a book for the candy industry like Upton Sinclair's. Maybe I should write it

True, prior to the lobbying, there wasn't a law banning non-food items inside food and size doesn't matter.

To make a long story short, you are correct.
Kinder is Italian and many decades ago, American chocolate peeps got together and lobbied to protect their domestic market.
At this point years later, I doubt Kinder would be that big of a threat but no one who can change things really cares to; it is the every day person who just wants toys and candy together as God intended who is hurt by the law.

Yeah, nothing to do with choking because how would you explain the baby in King Cake? You don't hear about Cajun children choking to death.
I agree, I die a little inside when I see the Kinder Joy eggs even though I like the flavor of the candy. Oddly I first saw them in Malta and it took over a year for them to get to most stores in the USA at least that I've seen. I got a bunch of Russian eggs when I was there a few months ago and so many of them were just eggs! No toy! Now I know to rattle them first.
Yowie and ChocoTreasure have the toy inside the chocolate but there is a seam that can be seen from all sides of the egg. That is probably the best we'll get until the political winds change but I doubt they will at this point.
I could literally talk about this all day but it probably isn't the thread for it.

Nah, it has nothing to do with kids choking and is all about political lobbying. If you want to bring them back with you, just smoosh the egg so that CBP can see the plastic. You can also get black market ones in many Slavic/Euro shops. I've done a lot of work in this area and there is a fair bit of misinformation going around.
