The most shocking news I heard all week.

I think I heard about it before, but I thought it was actually fake and it's not

You americans (from the US, I mean) cannot eat Kinder Suprise !

This is like... woh... crazy !

Hahaha. I was shocked similar way when I discovered how many kinds of kitkat exist, while there're only 5 or slightly more of them here.
What's your source?

Oh, we can (and do!) eat them... they just have to be brought into the country without anyone knowing ;) It just goes with all that lawsuit stuff... the company that makes them is afraid of getting sued because of the choking hazard. If your kid is stupid enough to choke on a huge toy inside a chocolate egg, you did a shitty job of raising them. For serious.

lol, I found my professionnal reconversion : Kinder Eggs dealer in the US :cool:

Haha, my professor for Business German used to supposedly bring back craploads of them with her every time she'd return from Bulgaria (yep, Bulgarian teacher for business German... logical :P) I was always baffled as to how she was always able to bring SO MANY. I think she had a dealer ;)

I've never heard of these. Are they like Cadbury Eggs except inside a plastic Easter Egg-like shell?


It's kind of insulting they think American children and parents are too stupid to responsibly eat candy. But, hey, we invented both McDonald's and the act of suing McDonald's because their coffee is hot and refreshing.

Kinder Surprise is kinda lame nowadays because the quality of the toy has really decreased. I guess the toy thing has been similar to Cracker Jack in terms of quality decrease. However, it's just a hollow chocolate egg with a toy inside.

I don't think they think Americans are too stupid... it's that Americans are just lawsuit-happy. Though it's hard to tell which one it is - was the lady who put her cat in the microwave just looking for a lawsuit, or was she that stupid? The world may never know.

I've never really been a fan of Kinder Surprise. Kind of a boring snack. I prefer Kinder Bueno, personally.

The toy is always encased in a rather large yellow plastic thing. There's no excuse for choking on it. It looks like this:
