Wonder Balls were hollow chocolate balls initially filled with small plastic toys (like Disney characters), but were changed to candy due to choking hazard concerns, leading to discontinuation by Nestlé in 2004 and later by Frankford Candy, though the brand has seen nostalgic re-releases with candy and stickers/coins instead of toys. They are remembered for the surprise element of finding treats inside a chocolate shell, a nostalgic favorite from the 90s/2000s that keeps returning in new forms.

History & Discontinuations:

Nestlé Magic Ball (Mid-90s): Launched as a hollow chocolate ball with a small toy inside; withdrawn due to choking concerns.

Nestlé Wonder Ball (2000s): Reintroduced with hard candies and themed stickers (Pokémon, Disney), but Nestlé sold the brand in 2004.

Frankford Candy (2004-2007): Frankford acquired it, released SpongeBob themes, then discontinued it in 2007 due to nutritional guidelines.

Return & Re-Discontinuation: Frankford brought it back in 2016 with new themes (Despicable Me, Super Mario) and later versions, but it has faced periods of unavailability.
