Kinder eggs are not a good analogy. The market demand is not really for "Kinder eggs" it is for "kid's chocolate." The segment has many alternatives. If all chocolate was banned (or difficult to source as it was in the Soviet Union) we would indeed see a thriving black market (as it was in SU).

- soyiuz 10y agoNot in the sense that other metals can be an "alternative" for gold. Brand name (Kinder) vs. the substance (chocolate).
