back to article Drug-smuggling granny's vagina holds Kinder surprise

A 73-year-old Spanish woman has avoided jail for a failed attempt to smuggle drugs to her incarcerated son by hiding them inside a Kinder egg plastic podule, wrapping that in a condom and inserting the contraband into her vagina. The septuagenarian mule visited Fontcalent prison in Alicante on 1 July 2013, with the intention …

    So my thoughts about a dildo bomb aren't so far-fetched. They must've threatened a complete strip search to make her surrender like this (as that would be the only way you'd find it).

    I always thought that Kinder Egg chocolate tasted horrible and had a funny texture and mouthfeel. I guess it must be due to the KY Jelly coating

      Was it, by any chance, your GrandMother that gave you those eggs ?

        Presumably after she was taught to suck them too.

      Yes. And it helps make this a Kinder gentler world.

            They're banned for the same reason those "mini-gel" fruit gel cups are banned: they're a serious choking risk.

              Choking Risk

              Except they're not. The ban is on any food item with an inedible part embedded in it (unless it's functional like a popsicle stick). Obviously that could be dangerous in some cases, but no one is going to try and eat a Kinder Egg whole so it really isn't a problem. I understand a few children have choked on the toys after taking them out of the egg, which is tragic, but don't make them any more dangerous than other small toys.

              Regardless you can buy them here fairly easily. I don't know how they're smuggled in... and after reading this story I'm not sure I want to.

        Why should it be? ISTM that the container is no bigger than the size a tampon swells to. In fact, had she attached a string and wad of cotton-wool to it, it is unlikely that anyone conducting a strip-search would have looked any ... um ... deeper, and she would have got away with it.

        The ceramic egg-shaped things that some women insert and walk around with to strengthen their pelvic floor following childbirth are also bigger and heavier than a Kinder surprise.

      Maybe she would have taken a toilet-break during the visit, though with suitable clothing (and no knickers) it's also possible it could have been retrieved under the table without being noticed.

    Anyone who watches the late night "cops with cameras" type shows knows that the Kinder Surprise is the canister of choice for people who want to conceal drugs. They feature in pretty much every episode.

    It's the only reason people buy them. The "chocolate" is horrid and the toys are crap.

    1. Mark 85

      Now those can't be the reasons why they're banned in the US is it? Horrid chocolate... we have that. Crap toys... we have that. Oh... smuggling drugs... may be it.

        Living in The Netherlands, home of the kinder egg?, I know that it is the crap toys causing the ban. They are small and therefore a choking hazard...

          The Netherlands? According to Wikipedia, the parent company (Ferrero, of Nutella fame and Ferrero Rocher infamy) is Italian, but the product was originally developed by their German division, which explains why I keep thinking of it as German. (That, and the fact they plaster Aryan brats over their products).

          Not sure where the Netherlands comes into it, though?

    amusing scene once at the Islamic computer company near Blackburn and Burnley.....

    there was a certain fit brunette lady who worked as a liaison between marketing and repairs. One hot sticky summer day as she walked up the steps to the mezzanine where the service centre managers lived she managed to lose / eject both her metal love eggs......which bounced and clanged down the metal steps. She simply picked them up as if nothing had happened and carried on talking.........

      Are you sure that she wasn't actually a hen in disguise? There's a lot of prejudice against avians in the workplace and even today many will try to cover it up.

      It's often very difficult to maintain the work-life-need-to-lay-an-egg balance, and sometimes when an egg's got to come out, it's got to come out.

    Lets see, 73 and bringing drugs to your son in prison. There is a family line to be proud of. Not everybody poor is there by choice but the shit sure floats to the bottom (and sadly sometimes to the top as well).

        If your mom is 73 and you are in jail you are a fsckup. If you ask your 73 yo mom for this contraband you are a double fsckup. Having mommy do it sure helped pay off the debt huh? Southern Europe where mommy is next to God (and a significant portion of the population are mommies boys) but your spouse is for beating on.

          Yeah, cos no-one is mistakenly jailed for crimes they didn't commit, and there is no link between poverty and crime
