Since then, it has become a firm favourite across the UK, known for its crisp wafer shell, smooth hazelnut filling, and milk chocolate coating.
Each pack comes with two individually wrapped fingers, divided into segments, making it easy to break and share.
Over the years, Ferrero has expanded the range to include white chocolate versions and other flavour twists, adding even more excitement for fans.
Many people have happily enjoyed the bars without ever knowing what the name actually means.
According to the Daily Record, a recent post on Reddit's Candy forum sparked fresh curiosity, with users puzzling over the mix of languages in the name.
One Reddit user speculated whether the name reflected Ferrero's international ambitions, and they weren't far off.
As reported by TechEdt, Michele Ferrero, the man behind the brand, deliberately chose names from different languages to help his products stand out in global markets.
According to Kinder's official website, the name Bueno was picked because it highlights the chocolate's delicious taste.
BBC reports confirm that Ferrero wanted to create a bar that felt more sophisticated and indulgent than other chocolate treats available at the time.
The Kinder range doesn't stop with Bueno.
Kinder has been busy exciting fans with a wave of new products hitting supermarket shelves.
Shoppers have been flocking to B&M to get their hands on Kinder's latest snack – the Crunchy Cookies.
Packed with milk and white chocolate chips, these cookies come in a pack of eight and are being promoted as the perfect match with a cold glass of milk.
Priced at just £2.99 per pack, they've been flying off the shelves, with many customers eagerly sharing their excitement online.
Some have already stocked up, while others are planning trips to their local B&M to grab more. Fans online have called them 'delicious' and said they wish they'd bought extra packs.
B&M already carries a wide range of Kinder favourites, including the classic Kinder Bueno bars, Kinder Surprise Eggs, and Happy Hippos.
But Kinder's recent launches haven't stopped at cookies.
Last November, the brand brought back Kinder Bueno ice creams to UK supermarkets, offering two tempting flavours: Kinder Bueno Classic and Kinder Bueno White.
These ice cream cones feature smooth hazelnut ice cream topped with a piece of Kinder Bueno chocolate, wrapped in a crispy wafer cone with a crunchy hazelnut-cocoa centre and finished with cocoa sprinkles.
Priced at £4.95 and available at Morrisons, these treats have sparked excitement among shoppers, many of whom remember loving them from their previous limited release.
Ferrero UK confirmed the launch, noting that the cones had already been a hit across Europe and Ireland before arriving in the UK market.
Shoppers have taken to social media to share their delight, calling the ice cream cones 'amazing' and urging friends to grab them before they sell out again.
