Crooked Candy

NEW DOCS

Opening a Kinder Surprise egg candy involves a small ritual of sorts. With delicate movements you peel back the foil wrapper and carefully split the seams of the chocolate shell. A satisfying pop reveals a small surprise: a package of tiny parts with instructions for assembling a miniature toy. Considered a choking hazard in the U.S., they are illegal to import, but that hasn’t stopped one man from reconnecting with his beloved childhood treat. Crooked Candy introduces us to this dedicated enthusiast through his colorful collection of some six hundred figurines.  ST
