The Terror of Kinder Surprise
November 17, 2006 at 12:28 amKinder Surprise, Thrill, Chocolate and fun to children and (young) adults all around the world. Except the United States.
Kinder Eggs containing toys are not suitable for children under the age of three due to the small parts which may be ingested or inhaled. They are sold all over the world, however they are banned in the United States where the Food and Drug Administration has deemed the encapsulated toy to be a choking hazard. Kinder Egg-like confections are available, but only in a form filled with small candies and/or stickers. There are some stores in the United States that sell genuine Kinder Eggs, often in conjunction with other imported British or other European sweets, although their importation is technically illegal due to the FDA ban.

That’s right. In the country where every twenty-something can legally buy a gun, small toys encapsulated in a chocolate egg are banned because they are “hazardous”. Ah, the sweet smell of irony.
But at least, according to the Washington Post there a a few remaining resisters which still sell this product of terror. Viva la Revolution!
