Nestlé Wonder Ball
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nestlé Wonder Ball is a type of candy, sold in the United States.
Wonder Balls are a spherical, thin shell of milk chocolate with candy inside, wrapped in foil and packaged with a collectible sticker. The product's slogan is "What's in the Wonder Ball?" Originally called Nestle Magic Ball, the product used to contain small figurines of Disney characters, similar to the Kinder Surprise which retails in Europe. However, due to choking hazard concerns, the product was withdrawn in 1997.[1] In April 2000, the Wonder Ball was re-released with candy in place of the toys.[2] In 2004, the brand was sold to the Frankford Candy & Chocolate Company.[3]
[edit] Theme song
Wonder Ball's commercial was a jovial tune, featuring alternating lines of lyrics between children singing and what sounds like a man singing through a tin can, with distortion.
