>(The Germans have "Kinder eggs", which seem to be similarly local...)

Do you not have "Kinder Surprise" on sale in the US? Small chocolate eggs
wrapped in foil, about the same size as a small hen's egg. Inside the Kinder
Surprise is a small toy, occasionally fully built up, but generally a clip
together kitset of half a dozen bits.

Kinder is German for "Child", and in New Zealand, what Americans call
"Nursery School" is known as "Kindergarten", as in "children's garden". Not
sure how wide spread this term is though, through the rest of the world.
