GDPR: Removing Monal from the EU

Actually, I'm pretty sure they still stick the toys inside the eggs everywhere except the US. Perhaps a European can correct me on this assumption.

EDIT: Turns out the US-style kinder eggs are indeed available outside the US.

In Canada they definitely still put toys in the eggs. http://www.ferrero.ca/our-brands/kinder-surprise/moments-of-...

I’m in Canada and can confirm that the toy-in-the-egg version was always sold here. As far as I know, this hasn’t changed. E.g. http://www.canada.com/life/Kinder+Surprises+Banned/2353187/s...

I've seen this variety sold in Poland

But I'm not sure it's typical.

Yeah. That's the US version also, not sure how common it is outside US.

They marketed it as a new thing beside the original here in Germany.

Most people seem to prefer the original, though. They lost a lot of charm by going from toy+edible+tinfoil to plastic+toy+plastic+edible+plastic spoon+plastic.

The new one is even more sweet and rich than the eggs (more like a dessert than a snack) and harder to eat for a young child, so not surprising.

Looks like this now http://fortune.com/2017/05/22/kinder-egg-usa-debut/

I have seen this outside of US also (pretty sure it was doing a Europe trip)

it's just a different product, which shares almost nothing with the original, and is simply sold besides it outside the US.
