    The chocolate is to die for, but the surprise is lacking

    For something so good that the US has made it illegal, Kinder Surprise toys sure don't live up to my childhood memories. These Santas each contain a buildable ornament: there is some fun to be had snapping each of the six pieces into a sphere, but inside the ornament are two flimsy (and quite bent: living their lives in a tiny plastic egg has not been kind) pieces of cardboard that are supposed to go in the middle to tell a cute two-panel story when you turn the ornament. The pieces would need to be pressed in order to get them to flatten out, but this still doesn't seem to have the perfect execution of most flip toys.
    That said, the chocolate is the same classically delicious, creamy delight that you remember from your childhood, and though kids won't play with the toy, there is something to build! A better bang for your buck in terms of price per g of chocolate than the classic 20g eggs (but I bet that it will get eaten all in one go anyways ;) ). The detailing on santa isn't horrifying, like some molded chocolates: he's cute and jolly even inside the foil wrapper. Very much worth it in a post-holiday sale, or as a cute stocking stuffer!
