Kinder Surprise Egg Unboxing Day *

* (restored)

 

‘Unwrapping Kinder Surprise eggs is an epic trend on YouTube that continues to increase. Using the Octoly system, we tracked a total of 5.1 billion all-time views of videos about Kinder eggs, and the rate of views appears to be increasing. In November, we tracked no less than 489 million views of Kinder egg videos.

‘99.99% of the views of Kinder eggs on YouTube are on videos made by independent creators, rather than the brand itself. At Octoly we call this a “love brand,” where fans are so excited by the product that they will make videos and watch millions of YouTube views about the products, whether the brand is involved or not.

‘Some observers say that the popularity of these videos is partly due to something called ASMR, or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, which is a new popular term that essentially means that the sound of the unwrapping tinfoil makes you feel good. Or maybe the videos succeed because they a combination of several things kids like: chocolate, toys, and the surprise of multi-layer unwrappings. Here are the steps in a standard egg unwrapping:

‘Examine the original Kinder Surprise wrapped tinfoil. It’s largely white. Unwrap the tinfoil to find the chocolate egg. Break the egg open. It splits easily in half. Discover that it has white chocolate inside and there is a yellow plastic container inside. Eat a bit of the chocolate. Open plastic yellow container. Peer inside to see what you found. Reveal what the toy is by plucking it out. Play with toy. Repeat billions of times.

‘The U.S. makes up more than half of the audience for Kinder eggs, totalling 2.8 billion views. But unfortunately these views are not driving sales. The Kinder chocolate eggs are considered illegal contraband in the U.S. due to worries that kids might choke on the toys. In 2011, U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized more than 60,000 Kinder Eggs from travelers’ baggage and international mail shipments. There is a potential fine of more than $2,500 per egg.’ — REELSEO

Why is everyone hating on him for the way he does videos? He’s supporting a heart disease foundation and does this to entertain children. He acts excited because he wants the children watching to know that he is upbeat and fun loving.

I don’t know if you speak English, but I think if you are going to do a review of old kinder chocolate, you should probably wear plastic doctors gloves.

p.s. Hey. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi. Panicking is certainly completely understandable, and I’m so happy to hear that your Dad turned out to be doing okay. Stay as strong as you can be, man. Which is very strong, knowing you. Love, me. ** David Ehrenstein, Your linked-to video was not available, but I’m going to guess it was PSB related? ** Misanthrope, Are we? Or are they fakers who couldn’t fake your discerning eye? We will never know. Or you won’t least, ha ha. Do your own shit, man, what the hell. How’s the book with Callum coming for instance? ** the real G, You’re the real G. Thank goodness. I’m sure I will (enjoy your antho. entry)! Oh, wow, thanks for foisting ‘Oliver Twink’ off on your people. If I manage to pull a book together, it’ll be a lot shorter than ‘Ugly Man’. But the shorter the better in my weird book. I’m good, thanks. Enjoy the week off. I did do a Claude Cahun post, I think on my old blog, which I haven’t restored yet, and which I will go hunt down and gussy up. Yeah, she’s great. I’m happy you liked this month’s rentable guys. All credit to them, I’m just their sheep herder and line editor. OrderyourBitch is impressive, yes. Hm, I haven’t looked at Chalamet closely enough to see him in others. But I believe you! Thanks, thanks! ** Dominik, Hi!!! Yeah, I know it’s weird that I don’t like Nutella. I’d never eaten it until I came here, so maybe that’s part of it. Whenever I eat it, I’m kind of like, ‘Why are you so afraid to just be chocolate?’ Ha ha. Yeah, I think jib is about clothes/appearance. My mom used to say that. I think it must have come from some ancient TV show. She was always using phrases that had been trendy to say at one time in the past, and they inevitably came from TV. Like she always said, ‘T’aint funny, McGee’. And I was like, ‘What?’ But then I looked it up, and it was from some now-obscure TV show called ‘Fibber McGee and Molly’. That yin and yang comment was so complicated, no? I liked it, natch. You unboxing love on TikTok, G. ** David, Still haven’t seen the ‘Matrix’. First I need to see ‘Moonfall’. I don’t think there are Wait-Roses here. What a strange name. Anyway, touche on the gotcha. Waiting in line to suck some guy’s dick seems so quaint or something. But I’m used to the crazy slaves. ** wolf, Wolfie!!! Oh, wow, how cool that my Pollard worship made it into the Quietus. Wow. Thanks for clueing me in pal. Everyone, You probably don’t want to read me detailing why Robert Pollard is such a genius, but, if you do, my Pollard-lionizing verbiage is quoted in an article about Guided by Voice in The Quietus right here alongside similar paiens by Steven Soderberg and Ric Ocasek. Hubba hubba! How are you, my buddy? What’s up, what’s up? Love, me. ** Maria, Isabella, Camila, Malaria, Gabriela, I don’t know what sonata is. I just did a search for ‘pizza Sonata’, and all I got was a whole bunch of pizza restaurants called Sonata Pizza. I’m assuming it has nothing to do with the musical Sonata. Anyway, fuck those people for ruining your pizza! Who did they think they were?! ** TJ Sandel, Hi. Good question. Suckers maybe? Just a guess. How’s your Wednesday, TJ? ** LC, Hi. Yeah, they’re good at amusement parks, and their parks have a particulate kind of, mm, flavor (?), that’s hard to describe. I think the Zipper is a gorgeous entity, but one couldn’t pay me enough to get in one. I have an obnoxious motion sickness problem. Not on roller coasters, etc. but on any ride that goes in circles horizontally or vertically. Sucks! I love carnivals, or, as they call them over here, ‘fete foraine’. ** Brian, Hey, Brian. That explains it, and how funny or something that on your explanation day you end up second to last! Which film did you watch? What happened to brain when you watched whichever one you did? I think I’m watching ‘Drive My Car’ today. We’ll see. I hope your Wednesday knocks it out of the park, and ‘it’ can be whatever you want to have exit the park. ** T, Indeed! TomSawyerAdventurer should have won some kind of prize. Maybe I should start awarding prizes to the best escorts. But they would presumably never know, so what would be the point. Never mind. Those ‘weird faces made with punctuation symbols’ are Japanese emojis. You can find dictionary-like websites that have zillions of them. Yeah, they’re very cool, but then, you know, Japan = def., cool. I think you made a wise decision in your ultimate Wednesday wish. And now mine has to try to live up to it. Interesting dilemma. May your Wednesday shrink the Louvre down to the size of a sugarcube and throw it at a cop and then run away like mad. xo. ** Okay. I restored today’s formerly dead post because I find it kind of weirdly soothing, and I thought you guys might like to be soothed by my blog for a day. But I could be wrong. See you tomorrow.

    Hey! I am loving the chocolate eggs!
    My grandmother once had a hen that is laying these.

    Maria, Isabella, Camila, Malaria, Gabriela, loves! Hey!

    Ref: Sonata it’s a red vegetable small sometimes medium sized you get it as ketchup sometimes Coops

    I go

    • Verity Pawloski

      It is tomato Maria, you mean tomato??????

      All this chocolate has made me want some! mmmmmm!

      • Maria, Isabella, Camila, Malaria, Gabriela

        Thank you Verity,
        for pointing this out,
        this is now explaining things: when I am asking for the Sonata to be removed they are changing the music,

        It is a ‘tomato’ in future I will know,

  2. David Ehrenstein

    This Friday I will turn 75.
    And yet, I don’t feel a day over 64

  3. Misanthrope

    Dennis, You know who loves the Kinder eggs and gets them all the time and collects all the little sets? My mom! She gives the chocolate to David, haha.

    So, a little hiccup with the novel with Callum. Seems the publisher we were looking at has suddenly closed up shop. However, we’ve got our eye on another one that might work. Fingers crossed. Thanks for asking. šŸ˜€

  4. Dominik

    Hi!!

    Do you think the comments in todayā€™s post areā€¦ real? I mean, written by actual human beings watching these videos? Some are justā€¦ what the fuck, haha.

    Haha, thatā€™s a perfectly valid question when it comes to Nutella, I have to admit that.

    These long-forgotten phrases your mom used to say mustā€™ve been pretty confusing. But alsoā€¦ now you have a whole collection of them, and you can just sprinkle us with them whenever you feel like it. I enjoy learning about them.

    Yeah, the yin and yang comment was pretty well executed, haha. Iā€™m pretty sure Iā€™d gain a million followers overnight if I unboxed love on TikTok! Thank you! Love buying his first Kinder Surprise egg in 20 years, and itā€™s fucking EMPTY, Od.

  5. _Black_Acrylic

    My dad Pete passed away peacefully last night and he was in no pain, being looked after by the excellent staff at St Gemmaā€™s Hospice. Just a few weeks since he first saw the doctor and weā€™re all still getting our heads around it. Thank you again for all your kind words x

    • Toniok

      Oh, Ben, Iā€™m so sorry, a big hug.

  6. David

    Moonfall sounds interesting wouldn’t mind seeing that myself…
    This cholate post has made me very hungry! I’ve been dieting the past month, and recently been running 11 miles every day… I’ve got off 9 pounds so far…. it’s killing me…

    I’ve bagged 17 shitloads of crap from my flat so far, to be thrown, and there is so much more to sort out… I’ve been going there every day and going through everything…

    It’s been very windy here in London…. think a storm is on the way!!

    The random hostility in these comments is pretty typical, but still quite funny. “Nuke Norway” is my favorite.

    I finally seem to have broken through my writers’ block on my monologue. It’s only 500 words at this point, but I wrote 200 of them in the last few days, and I’ve spent so much time ruminating on it that my ideas are clearer. I have an actor in mind, but he’s a complete stranger, so who knows how approaching him would go? But I’d like to shoot this against green-screen of blurred-out Instagram pages.

    I watched Radu Jude’s short SEMIOTIC PASTIC a second time for an article, and I think I really underrated it the first time. (It’s up on worldscinema.org.) The kind of adolescent sarcasm that delights in staging dolls having anal sex is definitely present, but the level of video and audio detail really came through this time.

  8. wolf

    Dennis! Ha, you did not know about that GbV/Pollard article, glad I told you! Marc was all “you should tell Dennis” and me “nah, I bet he’s seen it already”.
    I’m, uh, I dunno, a bit weird? Ok I think. Just… odd. Just spent a few hours on a Tim Buckley – Scott Walker – Brel bender, which I think is a pretty logical sequence, and now that I’m on Brel really where the fuck do I go. Piaf? Maybe. But I think I’ll leave it on that note. Mh. Now that Scott is gone, is there any male singer with that level of craft and intensity and dedication and, well, perfection left out there? I don’t think so. Damn. DAMN!

  9. l@rst

    D-

    Maybe it was your original airing of this kinder day that made me randomly desire a kinder egg a few years ago. I have zero memory of eating it or of the toy. Guess it’s time for round too.

    I love the Quietus, I love Propeller, and as for you Mr. Cooper…

  10. Brian

    Hey, Dennis,

    I remember when these things were plastered all over YouTube. Oddly fascinating, in a sort of cultish way. I wound up veering wide of my aims with a very unusual and unplanned double feature: ā€œSalĆ², or the 120 Days of Sodomā€, which I hadnā€™t revisited in a little over a year now, and ā€œGentlemen Prefer Blondesā€, which Iā€™d never seen before. Totally incidentally, I found after that they were right next to each other on Fassbinderā€™s top ten list, in fifth and sixth place respectively. Shows the range that guy had in him. Anyway I highly enjoyed(?) the experience, so it wasnā€™t a wasted Wednesday. How was ā€œDrive My Carā€? Iā€™ve been wanting to see it. I almost went to a showing with Hamaguchi in attendance way back in November but it didnā€™t pan out odor a number of reasons. Hope it proved a worthwhile way to spend your Wednesday, if you did get around to it. Onto Thursdayā€”the next two days are really crazy and stressful for me, but I can almost glimpse the weekend waiting on the other side! Full steam ahead…

  11. TJ

    Iā€™m alright, just trying to channel my OCD the right way. If you donā€™t mind, I wonder what youā€™ve found helpful when a story/novel goes wrong. All the suggestions Iā€™ve found relate to character-based fiction (developing characters, rethinking motivation ā€¦). Lately Iā€™ve been salvaging old drafts by turning parts into micros, but Iā€™m not sure if this is best or more desperation!

  12. Bill

    Two soothing days in a row! I’m in the middle of a busy work week, so they’re appreciated.

    Just watched Werner Schroeter’s Willow Springs, also oddly soothing.

    Bill
