if you had, recently (as in moments before reading this, look you see) typed in to one of them internet search engine things "is a Barbie egg with toy worth getting" and clicked to come here, it would not at all be unreasonable for you to be present with an answer. for the sake of saving you some time, the answer to such a question is probably not, no. but, if you want a more elaborate, if not particularly expansive insight into that answer, feel free to read on. go on, you are here now, after all.
some background, or if you will scene setting, as to how i came to learn the so-called 'secrets' of a Barbie egg, and indeed how i came to be in such a position to do so. recently it was so that i was on my travels, for verk, and the lodgings (hotel) secured for me had rather little in respect of places nearby to wander around. my choices were limited to a petrol station, a number of American fast food outlets and a reasonably well known discount store called Home Bargains. the latter was where i strolled.
various items (or if you will, wares) were on offer, but oddly not that which i craved. i had hoped to get some strawberry bon-bons to enjoy as i watched a motion picture or two (2, as it turned out) in the comforts offered by my designated hotel room. no luck with that, alas, but i did get some cinder toffee honeycomb stuff (not sure what they call it these days) and, as you have no doubt ascertained, something called a 'Barbie' egg.
yes, indeed this is some sort of endorsement, or sponsorship, by the relatively world famous Barbie range of dolls. ostensibly this has been a toy aimed quite directly at girls, but in this enlightened age no one is allowed to be who they are no more, with everyone having to be absolutely everything. which probably, in the end, means it was just perfectly fine for me to get it, or pick one up.
ostensibly, i suppose, this item is quite the "homage" to the celebrated Kinder eggs, where one gets a toy in a capsule, with the outer being an egg shaped chunk of chocolate. perhaps to stave off any sort of complaint of proprietary breeches (or whatever lawyers argue for), instead of the Kinder outer milk chocolate and inner white chocolate, here (as you can see above) you get one half of each. not bad, if you were looking for a review of that aspect.
but, of course, the real (or at least primary) reason for spending all of 89p on this item was to see the toy inside. mindful of the (at the time i wrote this) brand new, wildly celebrated film based on all things what are Barbie, i was hoping for a little toy Ryan Gosling. admittedly, owing to the size of the egg, such an item would have been rather small, yet still, would have been cool.
no such wonders awaited, alas. it wasn't even a little Margot Robbie (or whoever) one, either. instead i got what them what made this considered to be a quite class toy, which, as you can see above, turned out to be a Barbie necklace. oh, right. going on the "collect them all" strip of paper i got with it, at the least it seems i got one of the more better ones. still, hardly a Ryan Gosling effigy.
exactly what, or which, secrets have been revealed here is something for you to determine. i suppose the title is not the best what i have ever gone done, but it just felt right. presumably the hidden treasure inside the chocolate egg was kind of a secret, since the packaging didn't give much of a clue as to what you might expect to find inside. clearly i was optimistic in this regard.
will i be purchasing (or buying) any further Barbie 'surprise' eggs? no. actually, now that i think, i was hoping that they had some Scooby Doo ones, as the Scooby (and gang) figures in them are quite smart. but, now that i think, i believe i used to pick them up at another shop.
right, well, that's pretty much all i can say on this one.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
