Kinder surprise egg, a quite astonishing commodity, the surprise of the kinder surprise egg, is that this excessive object, the cause of your desire, is here materialised. In the guise of the object - a plastic toy, which fills in the inner void of the chocolate egg. The whole delicate balance is here between those two dimensions: What you bought - the chocolate egg, and the surplus (probably made in some chinese gulag or whatever), the surplus that you get for free. I don't think that, the chocolate frame is here just to send you on a deeper voyage, to what's the inner treasure, the, what Plato calls the "agalma", which makes you a worthy person, which makes a commodity - a desirable commodity, i think it's the other way around. We should aim at the higher goal, the gold in the middle of an object, precisely in order to be able to enjoy the surface. This is what this, the anti, metaphysical lesson which is difficult to accept.
