3. Timeline
1990s
Nestle Magic Ball Invented
Nestlé’s Magic Ball launched with their product slogan, “What’s
in the Wonder Ball?” Wrapped in foil and packaged with a collectible
sticker, the Magic Ball contained small figurines from Disney and
Pokémon. With a spherical shaped shell of milk chocolate, the
product contained 80 calories per ball, of which 54 came from fat.
Nestlé decided to re-launch the selling of Magic Balls. However, due to
the concerns previously presented, the company changed the concept of
the ball to something less hazardous. They re-released the Magic Ball as
Wonder Balls and instead of small toys, the inside was replaced with candy

The product was taken off the shelves in response to
parents claiming the toys inside the chocolate shell
presented choking hazards. Although Nestlé insisted
the toys were safe, they decided to withdraw the product.
The new and improved concept of the Wonder Ball only
lasted four years with Nestlé, until they decided to sell to
The Frankford and Chocolate Company. However,
Frankford later discontinued the product.
