Candy?[edit]

I thought Wonder Balls always had candy in them. I should know, I went through countless numbers of them looking for a tattoo and all I got were those crummy stickers. =P --Kiwi 15:50, 25 March 2007 (UTC) -Nope they had a toy at one point I remember.[reply]

Lyrics[edit]

Despite not being able to find the actual commercial, I am certain the lyrics are wrong. It should have gone

What's inside the sparkling foil is

What's inside the chocolate ball

What's inside the Nestle's chocolate is

What's inside the ball that pops

What's inside the ball that pops is... *pop*

I remember the lyrics being as follows, but they may have changed after the sale of the brand: Oh I wonder wonder what's in a Wonder Ball Who knows what surprises a Wonder Ball may hide? Yummy nestle chocolate with candy shapes inside... Oh I wonder wonder what's in a Wonder Ball!? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.240.218.113 (talk) 23:26, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How was it legal?[edit]

This article says wonderballs originaly had a toy in 1997, but the Kinder Suprise article says "In 1993 the Ferrero Group (the maker of Kinder eggs) applied to have the eggs sold in the USA, but was turned down because of a prohibition against having an inedible item inside an edible object." So they weren't allowed to use a toy in 1993 but Wonderball could have a toy in 1997? --24.94.251.19 (talk) 04:43, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that struck me as weird too. Plus, this page also claims that there were Pokemon figurines in them. Pokemon wasn't introduced outside of Japan until 1998, so how could a product sold in the USA that was discontinued a year earlier contain them? -TBustah 15:37 , April 3rd 2015 (UTC)

Return of the Wonderball[edit]

I do not believe the youtube video is a credible source. I suggest the removal of the quote at the very least. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greedo8 (talk • contribs) 19:13, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edit on 4 November 2015[edit]

I removed the jingles and moved the information from the criticism section to the history section. I found the URL for an archived version of the "The History of the Nestle Wonder Ball" article, but the original article is on a blacklisted site. I kept it in, but the information may not be very reliable. Clarinetguy097 (talk) 07:08, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nutrition[edit]

The nutrition information on this cannot be correct, if 6 grams of fat (9 kcal / gram) is 54 of the 80 calories then at most only 6.5 grams of sugar (4 kcal / gram) could be included. Does anyone have correct information for this section?. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.60.192.187 (talk) 04:02, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
