Kinder Egg ban
So.. I've always wondered why Kinder eggs are banned in the USA. So the reasoning is kids swallow the toys or some shyz... I don't even think it's a reason; If the kids swallow them they are probably pretty dumb, does the plastic cover taste good? why the hell would they swallow it... remember the saying: chew your food? If you can't chew it don't swallow it. And if that's still a problem, it should be the parents fault for not supervising and teaching their children to only eat the 'tasty' chocolate part.
And also why just the USA?...

@nonsensical: [i]edible[/i] candy you can choke on
I like how we have this thing called a Wonderball instead, where it contains candy pieces inside that you can actually choke on, unlike that plastic toy's size.
I remember eating those chocolates as a kid, before moving to US. I liked that it came with a random toy inside
@WhoIsDead Nevermind. They've been illegal since [i]1938[/i], not the 1970s [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder_Surprise#Prohibition_on_sale_or_import_into_the_United_States]Ta-da[/url]
@Ecyz: No, I've eaten several in my childhood.
They were afraid children and parents were too stupid and would eat, choke on, and die from whatever was inside it.

In the USA they've been banned since like, the 1970s... =.=
Umm... I saw some in the supermarket about a week ago.
EDIT: I think they were wonderballs
Have you seen the size of the piece of plastic inside of a kinder egg? The ones that are young enough to put everything in their mouths wouldn't be able to fit that in their mouth. Its also neglect on the parent's part if you don't watch a young child with any small toy.
We have Wonderballs here, though I've never had it as a child.
If the toy is contained in pieces, there's your choking hazard. I googled it and it's made by Ferrero so it must be delicious ;___;
They were always banned...
Kinder Eggs are sold all over the world... I have yet to hear of anyone choking on a toy from it...
I wouldn't ask such question about America since the pizza is a vegetable.
They're banned now? Damn.

Because only the USA is dumb enough to ban something so delicious as a Kinder Egg
They hate fun
