Food or games?

[redbird]

After putting together the toy in my Kinder Egg, using instructions entirely in pictograms, I found that I had something whose purpose is to fall off the edge of the table: and it isn't even very good at it.

However, we had fun identifying the languages on the warning label: having gone effortlessly from English through español and Polska, and been briefly sidetracked by Hungarian on the way to Hrvatska*, I faltered at MK (in Cyrillic) (Macedonian, maybe?) before coming up triumphantly at Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.

Then I noticed the real oddity: not the inclusion of Romanian and Russian, but the absence of French, Italian, German, and all the Scandinavian languages. Do they sell no kinder eggs in Scandinavia? How many are they selling in Bulgaria?

Still, it's a lot better than the alleged toys that come in Cracker Jacks these days.

There seem to be a variety of different runs of instructions (and one would assume manufacturing) for them. The German ones I've seen have most of the languages you are missing on yours.
