People's 'minds are blown' as they discover the secret to Kinder Eggs

There's a lot of discoveries to be made during lockdown but we bet you didn't think it would be this.

Kinder Eggs have long been a top choice amongst kids - and adults if we're honest - as who can resist chocolate AND a toy to play with afterwards?

But it turns out there is a very specific reason for that little yellow capsule inside the hollow milk chocolate egg with an inner layer of milk-flavoured cream.

The Mirror reports that Sullivan Poulter took to the Children of the 1980s Facebook page to share his latest discovery and it has left many realising that every day is a school day.

Shared a picture of the egg-shaped chocolate treat he wrote: "I was today years old when I realised..."

Before explaining that he found out the yellow toy capsule is meant to be the yolk inside the egg.

The post has since received more than 20,000 shares as other people couldn't quite believe it either.

"Mind officially blown!!!!!!" commented one.

Another said: "45, who knew??? Apparently you're never too old to learn something new!!"

"Well I never, neither did I and it's so obvious now you point it out," added a third.
