Gargamel strikes!

I bought another Kinder Suprise chocolate egg when we did our groceries.  Alas, I did not get another Smurf.  Instead, it's Gargamel!

Looks like I'll have to try again!  Perhaps Jo-Lo should choose the egg this time around, he might be luckier.

Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs, that is.
