Celebrate Easter with Super Mario eggs

Published by Jim at 1:16 pm

080319marioegg.jpgWith Easter right around the corner, what better way to celebrate than with a chocolate egg wrapped in Nintendo awesomeness?

These little guys could be found in the UK last spring for 50p. Under the wrapper and chocolatey goodness you’d find a toy in a little yellow capsule that had nothing to do with Nintendo. Yep — these were pretty much just rebranded Kinder Eggs. Still — who doesn’t want to see Mario smiling back at them at the register?

    Well, some company in the UK has never heard of Yoshi.

    You know, that would be a cool idea. But what would be cooler that if it said, “Yoshi Eggs” with a Yoshi egg design. But superluigi would love it if they had Luigi….

    Hey, matthew, when I tried to write you guys the mailbag, I typed in the verification. The question was;10 minus 5 equals=, you know, 5. But when I wrote that, It said that I was wrong! I’m gonna try again. How much is 50p?

    50p is 50 pence. 100 pence is a British Pound. Which is about 2 US dollars. So 50 pence is about 1 dollar.

    Also, while we always prefer you use the form, you can alternatively just e-mail submit-at-thetanooki-dot-com. We only use that address for Mailbag submissions.
