I just found out that Kinder Surprise eggs are banned in the US
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder_Su ... ontroversy
"In January 2011, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) threatened a Manitoba resident with a $300 (Canadian dollars) fine for carrying one egg across the U.S. border into Minnesota.[14] In June 2012, CBP held two Seattle men for two and a half hours after discovering six Kinder Surprise eggs in their car upon returning to the U.S. from a trip to Vancouver. According to one of the men detained, a border guard quoted the potential fine as US$2,500 per egg."
But it's chocolate. Tasty chocolate.
and now I want a Kinder Surprise.

Yeah...that has several hazards for choking, so it's no surprise it's banned
I still forget to take the inner wrapper around a Reese's cup. I don't need to risk biting into or swallowing plastic.

I found that out a while ago and I tell everyone I know, in tones of horror, and they respond, in tones of horror. Kinder Eggs are the bomb although not as good when I was young *shakes cane* Also I heard that America doesn't really have aerosol deodorant?

Literally the only way to choke on a Kinder Egg is if you are a child young enough to not know what things are food. The toy capsule is massive:Unvoiced_Apollo wrote:Yeah...that has several hazards for choking, so it's no surprise it's banned

What about the baby in all the Mardi Gras king cakes? Those are much smaller than the toy package in kinder eggs.

Or someone that doesn't know what's in a kinder egg & that you're supposed to open it first.aels wrote:Literally the only way to choke on a Kinder Egg is if you are a child young enough to not know what things are food.

I don't get it.... all kinds of toys are sold with age limits why can't these chocolate eggs be sold with "10+" or some such age on them? Banning seems drastic, especially since adults seem to enjoy them.
Re: I just found out that Kinder Surprise eggs are banned in the US
I loved those up age 24.

Re: I just found out that Kinder Surprise eggs are banned in the US
What is this bullshit? You got a wrapper around a plastic shell around another plastic shell? Is that what I'm seeing in that picture? Maybe we banned these things because what the fuck is that?
Re: I just found out that Kinder Surprise eggs are banned in the US
It's actually a plastic toy inside a plastic container inside a shell consisting of a thin layer of white chocolate covered in a thin layer of regular chocolate plus the wrapper. Hey, it comes from Italy, the country that sends scientists to jail for failing to predict earthquakes.BruceSmith78 wrote:What is this bullshit?

Italy's only two purposes on earth are:
1. Great food.
2. Source of extremely attractive people.
The KindER egg is nice chocolate, so that's 1.

Also I remember now. Weren't they sent to jail for telling people and assuring them nothing would happen during plate activities??
If it was so at least they should have their licenses revoked.

Now I'm craving the Ferrero pack that has Rocher, Rondnoir, and whatever they call their white chocolate version.
