something’s weird here. How can a kinder egg, which comes out of an automatic manufacturing facility, vary by up to 10g and still not have a toy inside? The median weight of the candy is about 32g, so how do you get +/-5g, a big difference for such a lightweight candy, so regularly if there’s not a toy inside?

Not sure I fully understand the comment, but the content of the egg is either some kind of toy or a figure. So what varies is the content of the egg, not the chocolate. For some example pictures see https://mhoehle.github.io/blog/2016/12/23/surprise.html.

so the chart’s kind of misleading. A reasonable person reading this (like me) would assume that “figure” is synonymous with “toy,” so we’re looking at whether or not the kinder egg had anything inside. But you’re saying what’s being measured here is whether it has something that you want, personally. So, that’s really confusing without an explanation

Thanks for the feedback and sorry, it could have been clearer that we distinguish between "figure" and "toy". I didn't know how to add any extra explanations to the image in Reddit. Thus the blog post contains further details.
