The Kinder Surprise Experiment

Experiment 9 - The Asterix saga continues
and sinks miserably. As if the Gauls had teemed up with Vikings and hadgotten hold of a ship without the ability to govern it, leaving it totouch the bottom of the ocean.
This is the splendid toy I found in a KM (Kinder Merendero).

What is it? are you asking. Let me tell you. It is a "magic" board. and it works this way. There is a screen where you seen an image, and a tag that you can pull out and push in. Images are better able to explain its functioning than words. How lame.

SURPRISE FACTOR: really nice. The first 5 times you do this is somewhatintriguing. It takes about 5 times to figure out how this effect can be achieved without electronics. And it is the kind of thing you want to show your friends to surprise them as well. So it gets a 10/10. For once a Kinder Surprise, really delivered a surprise.

CONSTRUCTION FACTOR: simply 0/10. There is abosolutely nothing to do but"play"with it.

PLAYFULLNESS FACTOR: awful. You have done it 5 times and you loose interest in it, to the point you forget it at home and cannot even show it around to your friends to "mesmerize" them. Actually this is likely a good thing, since they make take you for a looser if they figure out the trick soon enough. So it gets a 1/10

OVERALL: the final mark is going to be really low. This toy becomes unplayable after not even 1 minute and it just adds to the home junk we produce (trust me, I am an expert), just that it becomes junk way faster than anything else, plus it is made of likely non recycable plastic, so here you go with a final mark of 2/10.

Goscinny and Uderzo, if I were you, I would insur. (I know, I know,in all these years, they have done worst to your work...but still!)
