Man, that brings out memories when I was very little, I spent like 40$ on them trying to get that little glowing lamp and then I lost it :( cried for a whole day.
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;39926026]Are you fucking daft? They're delicious.[/QUOTE]
They're the kind of thing that tastes better when you're remembering it. I just don't get the hype. If I wanted chocolate with a toy inside I'd melt a Lego man into some Dairy Milk.
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;39926734]why do they have to put toys inside of chocolate anyway?
put them next to the chocolate or something, who even cares
then suddenly it's no longer a choking hazard.[/QUOTE]
because the people who make them assume that not all children are fucking retarded and won't try to swallow an entire piece of chocolate whole.

i think you're really overestimating the eating ability of really young children.
this law isn't for 40 year old man-children. It's for infants and toddlers.
Even things like Legos have choking hazard warnings on them because toddlers have an innate tendency to put things in their mouth, even if it's clearly not food.
but honestly, what does a plastic toy honestly add to a chocolate egg? It's just a marketing scheme. If they'd just sell the chocolate without the toy inside of it, this wouldn't even be an issue.
I don't know about some people but if I bite into a chocolate egg and find a plastic toy inside, I am not going to continue eating the plastic.
I like kinder surprise.

[QUOTE=matt.ant;39925170]Just wondering, why are these illegal but fortune cookies are fine?[/QUOTE]
Because paper can technically be digested, these eggs are only banned on the technicality that it's non-food encased within food, paper, while not particularly good or easy, can be safely eaten, a large plastic egg, not so much. And let's be honest, with the age range these are meant to be given to, the choking is a pretty real threat.
No idea how they are called elsewhere but Kinder Schokobons are fucking great

It's just a shame that they are gone so quickly and are quite expensive. Same with bueno.

There's a large number of people who think that if something (be it an object or an activity) can hurt an idiot it should be banned.

YES
I sell art on etsy, and in one of my sales a short while back, they asked if I could also send them a Kinder Egg with the order :v:
Kinder Eggs are risky business though, because sometimes you get shitty toys that you don't even have to construct. It's sad times. :(

Amazon sells 160 of those for £12.
Wasn't the reason americans like Kinder so much because the chocolate just like every other chocolate from outside the US isn't made with corn syrup?

If you're still young and dumb enough to be putting plastic in your mouth and trying to eat it, then you're too young and dumb to read as well, so those warnings don't do anything to stop the child. If you don't want your child to eat something, don't give it to them.
O.K. guys
The reason kinder eggs were illegal?
There was a law passed that prevented ANYTHING non-edible in something edible
This is what kept it illegal to put glass shards in chocolate
It's not like they specifically said that kinders were illegal-It's a blanket law
Then people were like "hey these are way too big to choke on"
and then the U.S. was all like "oh shit that is sensible."
And so they are
So you can stop with the hur dur thatdon't make no sense posts.

Why isn't a warning good enough? Would you eat a chocolate bar that said, "Warning! Contains shards of glass - extremely dangerous to health!" just like a Kinder egg says, "Warning! Contains small parts - not suitable for children under 3"

I dunno about the US, but over here kids are smart enough to not stuff huge things in their mouths. And toddlers can't fit a kinder egg :v:

Kinder Eggs have always been banned in the US. It's never been sold here because of the FDA rule on non-food items inside food.
It's a myth that they've been banned due to children eating the toy. They've never been sold here in the first-place.

Man that looks good. Since i'm American, Kinder doesn't even exist over here, but the closest equivalent we've got to that specifically is Twix, it seems.

There is money to be made underestimating the intelligence of the public
