Nestlé Wonder Ball

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 However, due to choking hazard concerns, the product was withdrawn in 1997 [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9801E1DC163DF931A35753C1A961958260] . In April 2000, the Wonder Ball was re-released with candy in place of the toys [http://promomagazine.com/news/marketing_fmi_show_roundup/] .

Theme Song

Wonder Balls 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. For the purposes of clarity, the lyrics of the man singing through the distortion-can are in italic.

What's inside the magic box and,
"What's inside the magic foil?"
What's inside the magic foil and,
"What's inside the chocolate ball?"
What's inside the chocolate ball and,
"(Wacky Sound Effect Plays as the children discover their new toy.)"
What's inside a, What's inside a, What will you get in yours?

When released again they made a new song as well, sampling "Book of Love" by The Monotones. That went like this: 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!
