surprise egg

Chocolate-wrapped toy container

A surprise egg is a toy or confection designed to be opened and reveal a hidden item inside—typically a small figurine, collectible, or candy.

The term covers both physical products like Kinder Eggs and a genre of online videos where hosts unwrap such items: My kids are obsessed with surprise egg videos on YouTube.

The appeal lies in the anticipation and reveal.
