[Choopa Phil]

They have them up on ebay. About $2-3/Per egg lol

[Nice_Nick]

Fucking usa joke. Fuck ban little plastik toys fuckers. All rest of world good. usa pussys.

[lezinterracial]

Who buys those? I mean where would they sell them? A flea market, silk road?

[Sly]

I thought they were German. Whenever a friend goes to Germany, they bring them back for me. The chocolate is good. Did not realize they were illegal.

[JennaFame]

Wow, I wish I knew these ladies. I love the toys, what a random thing to steal.

Huh????????????????


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder_Surprise

,says it did not meet the required response numbers before the close date.

http://gawker.com/5990806/us-ban-on-...y-lifted-kinda

,says it is not the original product but a similar product not as sweet or rich in chocolate or toy/novelty quality.

Ferrero would love the US market share on this product.

No USA listing under Americas.

The need for money makes people do the stupidest things.

[balint]

It is unbelievable, I grew up collecting and playing with Kinder Surprise toys.

[Marshal]

Kinder Surprise eggs were banned by FDA, since it's forbidden to mix food with plastic, according to US Federal law.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder_..._United_States

The 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act contains a section highlighting that a confectionery product with a non-nutritive object, partially or totally embedded within it, cannot be sold within the United States, unless the FDA issues a regulation that the non-nutritive object has functional value.[8] Essentially, the 1938 Act bans ?the sale of any candy that has embedded in it a toy or trinket?.

In 2012 the FDA re-issued their import alert stating ?The embedded non-nutritive objects in these confectionery products may pose a public health risk as the consumer may unknowingly choke on the object?.

http://www.komonews.com/news/offbeat...162685596.html
In 2012 fine per egg was quoted as US$2,500. Having 800,000 eggs smuggled, can cost you 2,000,000,000 in fines.

I played with this kind of things when i was young.
Yes you are not supposed to eat the plastic...

[Rebel D]

If you can choke on that big yellow capsule in a kinder egg that is called natural selection because you are retarded

[seeandsee]

How fortune cookies are allowed, but kinder eggs are not?

[Zeiss]

People are so fucking crazy...

Comes down to the System of Liability that has been created in the US. Choke on the toy in the US get paid millions for a dead kid.

Choke on the toy in any other country and you just have a dead kid.



The bigger issue is, why are parents not smart enough to know what they are giving the kids and or to take the fucking toy out.

[dyna mo]

why not just make the fucking egg without a stupid fucking plastic toy in it? srsly, who wants a fucking plastic toy in the middle of their fucking food? I know canadians think that's cute but what a gimmick.

[lavajumper]

HO-LEE-FUK

I'm glad they stopped this Canandian conspiracy to kill off our US citizens. Gitmo for the terrorists!

[Jel]

lol, that was great

[javbucks]

I think the crime was definitely worth the risk for toys

What would be the point?
Kids love it because of the surprise, otherwise it would be regural chocolate in interesting shape, which already exists in more than just an egg shape.

kids love m&m's too. I can assure you American kids have plenty of candy and chocolate to choose from, why we need to tempt them to eat more by putting a choking hazard in the middle is beyond comprehension.

Cookies are not considered a confectionery item but rather a food item by regulators.

Also paper versus plastic

Wait you want parents to be responsible and supervise their children!

How will lawyers get rich and become politicians if they can't sue big companies and make headlines.

You just acknowledged what the rest of the world believes.

"Americans are lazy, fat, overindulgent, and eat stuff that they should not by the ton."

Before you jump on my ass I am an American also, just telling you what the rest of the world thinks. It is apparent by the posts on this site and many others.

Some will even come right out and say it while others lack the bravery to but they still think it.

Ah but the toy is a gimmick to brainwash children to demand it rather then something else.

Just like Cracker Jacks, Kids Meals, etc.

yup, anyone here ever eat that cake from Louisiana that has the plastic toy in there somewhere? I forget what they're called, king cake?

I'm guessing the choking hazard is for very small children that just gulp like a dog would. Anything other than them and I can see that they should prolly have learned how to chew their food properly.

well, i was also laughing at your outrage that someone would dare include a prize within candy.

also, regarding the fact that 7 people in a 20 year period, all over the world, have died from this product.

it's also italian, not canadian.

Well, I do find it outrageous to cook little plastic toys into sweets to get kids to crave shitty unhealthy foods (if you can call chocolate candy food) even more. While only 7 died from this product, I get the idea it was a serious enough situation overall here to prompt a law being made about it way back when the system somewhat worked.

[_Richard_]

yes, in 1931 or something.

and since there already seems to be examples of this:



ill let you get back to your crusade

[RebelR]

Trying to think of all of the surprised laced, food stuff that I survived as a child.
Kinder Eggs, Cracker Jack Popcorn, Jumbo Popcorn (that horrible pink shit), Most breakfast cereals, Fortune cookies....

I'm not on a crusade, _Richard_. I stated on gfy my view that I think it's stupid to put a fucking plastic toy in candy.

That's hardly a crusade. It would have been left at that if that comment was quoted and commented on.

btw, everyone in the usa knows cracker jacks used to come with a toy in the box. USED to. And we all also know a toy in a box is much different than cooking a toy into food.

if kinder surprise cooked little plastic toys.

i would think they'd just bake the chocolate in two parts, add the toy, and slightly melt the chocolate so it's 'in one piece'.

something not that different than 'dropping a toy in a box'..

yes, i understand you're not wearing armour, and headed to the middle east, to wage a crusade to stop kinder surprise everywhere

I've got a craving for some cracker jacks now.
Loved that when I was a kid.
