We have multi-lingual packaging here too. Where I’m from it’s usually quadrilingual, but it could have more or fewer.

Well at least the ones we usually get here say Kinder Überaschung

That word looks like "over-ashing", like a teenager overreacting to something their parents said by burning down the house.

It's actually "Überraschung", two r's. Overreacting by developing several rashes?

über - over, above

rasch - rash (adverb), quick, hasty

So a literal translation of Überraschung would be something like overrashness. Something that happens very quickly and unexpectedly.
