The Easter bunny came early for the residents of the German island of Langeoog. Residents woke up Wednesday to find the beach full of colorful eggs! They were Kinder Surprise Eggs, or to be more precise, the inner plastic egg that holds the surprise toy. A Danish cargo ship carrying the eggs from China lost five shipping containers in a storm, and thousands of the colorful plastic eggs found their way to the beach of Langeoog. The children of the island had plenty of surprises.

The chocolate wasn't washed off - it was never there. The toys and plastic shells are made in China but the rest is assembled in Germany and it was lost before arriving there.
