Я обалдела, что некоторые не читают внимательно и дают в рот детям то, что нельзя есть. Купила в "КБ" игрушку из-за любопытства и чтобы предостеречь невнимательных.

Editor's Summary
I'm warning you: this 'Kinder egg' toy isn't for kids to eat - it's just a clever marketing ploy. I bought it out of curiosity, but honestly, it's a waste of 50 rubles.
Specifications
I've gotten used to people buying Kinder eggs for kids way too young and giving them random toys, but today's shock was at the "Red and White" store. While my husband went to the dairy section, I stayed at the checkout and browsed through all the attention-grabbing products. I saw a box with "New Year's Surprise. Toy in an Egg" and immediately knew what it was. A lady with a kid walked by and said to me, "I wouldn't give this to a kid, it's a really unappetizing egg." I was taken aback a bit, thinking it was a toy, not food. When I started looking for reviews and couldn't find any, I went to the store's website and saw another review saying someone gave it to a kid to eat and felt weird afterwards. Meh.
I bought this toy out of curiosity, and after hearing and reading all that, I wanted to warn others that it's a toy, not a chocolate egg. You can't eat it.
The price is up to 50 rubles.
Made in China.
Small packaging. You can feel the oval-shaped egg inside.
Bright, festive packaging.
The back has product information and a small instruction on how to open it.
It also has information on the materials used for the toy and egg, as well as precautions, like not giving it to kids under three.
The instruction is pretty straightforward.
Let's open it.
It's weird that nobody immediately notices the chemical smell. It's pretty strong and obvious that it's not edible. Plus, you can see this soft plastic and the egg's color matches. By the way, I'm not sure what's supposed to change color and under what circumstances. And it's clear that there's some chemistry going on:
"You need to air out the toy before using it."I had some issues with the packaging, to be honest. I managed to wrestle it open, but my thumb is throbbing now. Inside, I found a poni. The toy itself is cute, with a mild rubber smell that's not off-putting. The egg, on the other hand, is a different story. The concept is cool - a non-edible Kinder Surprise with various toys inside. I'd recommend it, but with a four-minus rating. Check out my previous reviews for more info on the K'B company's products, like the K'bag and the K'poni.
