Well, if I would have read it that way, I wouldn't have made this post. However, I (and many Dutch/German people with me, I think) automatically associate this with "Kinder" as in kindergarten. It took me some time to even realize what the name really meant.

The fact that other people here associate it with Kinder Surprise and such (German company making chocolate for kids, hence the name) shows, imo, that other people associate it with the wrong thing as well.
