Just an empty egg. I am not happy.

YANBU! How disappointing.

They played a yolk on you.

Sometimes you get an unfertilised one. The kinder cockeral must have been shooting blanks that day.

Outrageous! I'd write and complain - you never know, you might get a truck load by way of compensation!

paddingtonbear1 · 02/03/2009 17:55

I used to love those. Now I still buy them for dd me
Never had one with no toy in it though! Can you write and complain? You might get a month's supply!

thegrowlygus · 02/03/2009 17:58

almost as gutting is when you get the toys that need no assembly/ careful application of stickers.

dd got a small shark in one of hers recently. It gets used in the bath!

ThatShittySmell · 02/03/2009 18:04

Always shake them first

CharleeInChains · 02/03/2009 18:05

OMG that is disgusting!

No toy in your Kinder Egg?! I am shocked and outraged and i have totally lost faith in the confectionary industry.

wotulookinat · 02/03/2009 18:05

complain. That would be enough to traumatise a child (or me) for life.

SoupDragon · 02/03/2009 18:08

If you write and complain, I would say that your small child was devastated and in floods of tears. do not say it was you.

oh totally complain and say it was your small child who 'just can't understand why she didn't get her toy'

ohhh yummy, free kinder eggs

Twims · 02/03/2009 21:49

Yep totally complain - or at least make them aware of the situation.

Longtalljosie · 02/03/2009 21:49

To be fair though - they promised you a surprise. No toy actually is surprising!

random · 02/03/2009 21:51

I would be glad ...I can never put the bloody toys together

poorbuthappy · 02/03/2009 21:51

I would cry and so would dd...

steviesgirl · 02/03/2009 22:00

Poor you. Sometimes it's the simple things in life that make us happy, I know.

I know it's a recession but that's just bloody ridiculous! A kinder egg with no toy? What's the world coming to?

Seriously though, that would be enough to devastate some kids.
