      The American version is two packaged chocolate halves. The toy is in the middle. The original is banned by FDA in America because it has the plastic egg within the chocolate egg and there is a clause in the FDA regulations that says non food items cannot be within packaging unless necessary. And the toy is not necessary according to them. The taste is a texture (shape) difference. Ingredients are the same as far as I know.

      If I remember correctly, they don’t even have chocolate in solid form, and the plastic egg splits into two halves, with one having the toy inside and the other some kind of white thing with two balls.

      This is not really a kinder egg tbh, it is too different and loses the cool part about it which is the toy being inside the chocolate egg.
