It's a simple idea, but one that has proven highly popular since its invention 40 years ago.
Fans of the eggs were in for an extra special surprise this week when vast quantities of them washed up on the island of Langeoog which is situated off Germany's northwest coastline.
Sadly the actual chocolate eggshells are missing, but that hasn't stopped visitors descending on the beach in their droves to collect the small plastic capsules.
It turned out that the eggs had been dropped by a Danish freight container during a recent storm.

A firm favorite with children all over the world, Kinder Surprise is essentially a chocolate eggshell with a small plastic 'yolk' ( containing a toy or puzzle ) hidden inside.It's a simple idea, but one that has proven highly popular since its invention 40 years ago.
