Kinder Pinguí is a yummy chocolate bar made by the Ferrero Group. It first came out in Germany in 1994.
It's made with a light milk filling, covered in chocolate. Each bar weighs about 30 grams. It has about 9.9 grams of sugar and 8.9 grams of fat. Years ago, Ferrero changed the recipe. They stopped adding a tiny bit of alcohol to Kinder Pinguí and some other Kinder products.
What is Kinder Pinguí?
Kinder Pinguí is a popular treat. It's designed for families, especially those with children. In 2004, almost half of all kids aged 6 to 13 in Germany ate a Kinder Pinguí at least once a week. That shows how popular it was!
What's Inside?
Like other Kinder products, Kinder Pinguí ads often talk about its milk content. The company wants people to think it's a good snack because of the milk. But the milk part is mostly butterfat and skimmed milk powder. This is about one teaspoon (5 grams) of milk ingredients in each bar.
The energy in Kinder Pinguí is about 1,870 kJ per 100 grams. This is about 450 kcal per 100 grams. This is a bit less than some other Kinder treats like Happy Hippo or Kinder Bueno.
Advertising and Fun Facts
Kinder Pinguí ads often use a cute penguin character. This character helps kids remember the product. But the ads are also made to appeal to parents. They suggest that Kinder Pinguí is a tasty and easy snack for kids. And it's a nice treat for parents too!
In 2005, some people felt the ads made the snack seem healthier than it really was. They thought the ads focused too much on the milk.
Different Flavors
Sometimes, you can find special flavors of Kinder Pinguí. These include Strawberry and Raspberry. Since 2018, flavors like Cocos (coconut) and Caramel have also become regular options.
In 2004, the Kinder Pinguí commercial was shown a lot on German TV. It was the third most-broadcast ad that year, with 3,301 airings!
