Surprise eggs / Ferrero: How do collectors find the figures in the chocolate eggs?
There are special collectors , the so-called "shakers", who have developed methods to get to the figures in the egg more quickly. Martin is one of them and passes on his tricks.
The first important tip is to pay attention to the batch number under the barcode. From this you can see the production period of the ice cream and narrow the search. Either you look for the number on the special promotional stands in the supermarket or you search the internet for forums for collectors in which this information is shared.
Then the Ü eggs are weighed. A household spoon scale is a suitable tool for this. With approx. 20 grams of chocolate plus packaging, the potential Ü eggs with a collecting figure weigh at least 30 grams. Chocolate is also the reason why eggs are not sold all year round. The weight of special collectible figures is also discussed on the Internet. This information can also be used to infer the collectible figure .
Then the actual shaking comes. According to his statement, collector Martin creates around 10,000 pieces in one day. He pays attention to special noises, such as the clattering of wheels in cars. His rule of thumb is: "A toy rattles, a compact figure hardly makes any noise." Often the packaging sticks to the chocolate egg too, then it has to be released by tapping and shaking.
Why are collectible figures in the chocolate surprise eggs?
The shape of the ice cream is actually based on that of a chicken egg. Incidentally, the same hygiene and production standards apply. Because in developing his products, the Ü-egg inventor Michele Ferrero always had one person in mind - Signora Valeria. This fictional Italian housewife is the embodied target group of the Ferrero Group. It was always thought of what this woman would like and then developed it for the big market. In addition to the desire for chocolate , Signora Valeria was given a special delight in the search for Easter eggs. She should be able to do this all year round - and the surprise egg was born. However, there were also women who experienced nasty surprises with the eggs.
The egg is also said to protect the valuable content. The most expensive figure is worth 14,000 euros. So much was offered to collector Denis Walecki for a night watchman smurf. This consists of a plastic that was later replaced in production. It is the only copy of this material. As with all collectibles, the rarer the more valuable.
