Kinder Surprise eggs have always been a firm favourite among children and, to be fair, adults.

When you crack the egg open, and the yellow case sits in the white inside of the shell it becomes clear – the toy is a yolk!
For some this may have been obvious from the start. But over at the Mirror they’ve collected some funny tweets from people who are losing their minds at this newly-realised fact:
