Nestlé Toto Eggs

-

Whilst browsing Poundland recently I came across these Toto novelty chocolate eggs. They're like a Nestlé version of Kinder Surprise, so I was curious how they would compare to the real thing. For £1 you get 3 milk chocolate eggs with toys inside that have to be assembled.

I must admit, I haven't bothered to assemble them yet because they were too fiddly and annoying!


Unlike Kinder Surprise, these eggs don't contain a layer of white chocolate, they are just plain milk chocolate eggs.


To my surprise the chocolate tasted quite decent. I wasn't expecting much because Nestlé aren't known for the quality of their chocolate, but it was quite tasty for cheap chocolate.


The capsules inside the eggs snapped open to reveal the toy parts. There's instructions on how to assemble them, but I honestly couldn't be bothered. They looked like something you would get out of a cheap Christmas cracker and didn't seem worth the effort.


Overall, if you're a snacks fan like me then these are just a mild curiosity, but if you have children these eggs are probably a good value treat to keep them happy. I'm not sure how they compare in price to Kinder Surprise, but presumably they are cheaper.

Price: £1 for 3 eggs at Poundland.
Nutritional facts: Contains milk.
Made by: Toto is a Turkish Nestlé brand distributed in the UK.

    I bought these for my kids once but they didn't like the chocolate or the toys inside (the latter were truly dire!). I didn't realise they were from Turkey though, I might have to pick up another pack for my Around the World challenge now lol!

    Kinder Eggs are definitely a lot more expensive than they were a few years ago. I remember buying the three-pack in the pound shops quite regularly. They are usually just under the £2 mark now for the same pack. The toys are quite good, although I leave all assembling to my kids, they're much better at that then I am!

      I'm not surprised your kids didn't like them lol! They're certainly nothing compared to Kinder Surprise. I haven't had a Kinder Surprise in years though, a shame they're getting more expensive.

      As for your Around the World challenge I might soon have a Turkish chocolate bar I can send you for that :)

    As a firm Nestle boycotter (due to their appalling human rights record and aggressive baby formula advertising), I won't be buying these even if they were the last nasty tasting chocolate on the planet.

    However, they have proven to be an enormous source of amusement for my immature mind and that of children, as "Toto" is a Nigerian word for a lady's secret chamber/badly packed kebab/vajayjay/fanjita etc. So even if they weren't made by evil corporation personified, I couldn't quite bring myself to share some Toto with my family.

Pringles Salted Egg Review

Another weird snack and this time it’s Salted Egg Flavour Pringles! These are apparently popular in other parts of the word so maybe not as weird as they may seem to us Brits... and they’re actually not so bad! Not as eggy as I expected - I had visions of an awful gaseous pong coming from the tub, haha! - but just a slight salty egg flavour.   If you’re curious, find them from www.gbgifts.co.uk (gifted).

Asda Tinned Banana Blossom Review

-
Image
Recently, I spotted a totally new vegetable/fruit (not sure which it actually is!) in Asda called Banana Blossom in a tin. It was next to the tins of Jackfruit which is a well known vegan meat alternative. I assumed it was a similar thing so happily bought some to try - it’s £1.50 a tin. The image on the wrapper looked innocent enough - battered fish pieces, only vegan! Surely this stuff must be good? Turns out that packaging was very misleading because nothing could prepare me for the horror that was lurking inside...when I opened the tin it was like opening something from a horror film, discovering the mouldy body of an ancient alien creature or other such evil. It looked hideous!! “Surely this is not meant for human consumption?!”, I thought. Heck it’s not even suitable for bird consumption....I think flies would even turn their nose up at this thing, which looked like rotten infested seaweed. When I posted this on my  Instagram  page the responses were predictably

Lidl Way To Go Fin Carre Ethical Chocolate

-

I recently spotted some new funky looking bars in Lidl, and instantly they reminded me of Tony’s Chocolonely bars, the ethical brand that launched last year donating money to helping end slavery in cocoa production. I’ve always loved the Tony’s brand and I think in 2020, more than ever, we need more ethically produced products - it should be expected, let’s be honest! So it’s always nice to see another brand like this even if it’s essentially copying Tony’s. I got the dark chocolate version to try as I was curious how it would be compared to other dark chocolates. In hindsight this was a mistake, as the actual chocolate is nothing extraordinary. It’s nice enough and good quality don’t get me wrong but it has no particular distinct flavour to make me buy it again. I’ll certainly try the other two flavours which are Milk Chocolate and Almond and Sea Salt, and I do like the chunky haphazard block design that mimics Tony’s Chocolonely. It’s a shame through that Lidl don’t just stock
