Extracurricular Experiment: Capsule vs. Capsule
Location: TO-RON-TO, ON
It has already been noted that current/newer series of KSE do not follow the golden rule of extra-surprise notation: Special toys are to be found in specially coloured capsules.
In the golden days of KSE, this golden rule was a rule observed consistently; it was observed nonchalantly at the same time, just like the Sun nonchalantly shines its rays upon us. Yes, variances did exist - full orange of half-yellow half-orange capsule would mark some glorious special surprise in comparison to regular toys within pure, but classic, yellow capsules. Now no special capsules are to be found, at least to the west of the Atlantic mid-point.
But this alarming issue seems poised for topple-effect by another alarming detail: The beloved classic yellow capsule is on the brink of extinction. As much as this is just an aesthetic issue, its importance is unmistakable.
Just like with the real eggs - no right mind would want to crack open a rotten looking egg.
Fresh looking ones, just like the one on the right in both of the pictures, have the inviting nature in comparison.
And before a parting thought, a departing question for all the readers: Is it pure coincidence that this experimentista pulled out worse toys/surprises from "rotten" eggs!? Thus, wonder may be a good state of mind, considering where KSE might be heading.
Signing off with great dispair,
experimentista Danilo
