This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

In my childhood they used to have much better toys. Even whole series of cartoon characters.
The series of cartoon character collectibles were such a disappointment, though. If it's not assembled from at least 7 weirdly bendy plastic parts it's not a proper kinder surprise toy!
Also the old 2-part eggs were the only proper ones. The new ones where both parts are tethered together are probably better in a few technical ways, but the old ones were so satisfying to open! And you could fill them with water and baking powder and use the explosion to launch little pebbles straight up.
