You can tell they are Canadian. They are banned in America becuase of the chocking hazard. They are fine in he rest of the world were kids don't shovel the thing whole into their mouths.

It appears to have survived. Now a days, I'd rather have the chocolate.dex-dex said:
They used to have really cool toys in those things... back in the 80s.
Well, that was quite the *put on the sunglasses* surprise. If you do a Caburry egg though, I don't care what the real sound is, you must dub in "Goo"
Thats right, they were banned in the states because moron kids were eating them without realizing they were just shells right?DuelLadyS said:
The candy is good, but the toys are shitty.
But we do sell them here in the states, I got them quite frequently when I was younger. They never did taste as good as the ones my grandmother sent me from Germany though. Or have nearly as many sweet toys!dex-dex said:
Candy of my childhood.
Now, im probably the only one feeling this, but with all the troubles this world has, like hunger and poverty and that sort of stuff, shouldn't we not be dropping food an luxury items like chocolate on the floor for entertainment purposes? I know, its minor and one chocolate egg and occasional jar of icky cabbage isn't going to make any difference, but it just seems wasteful.

I don't think you can get them in the States anymore, if there was a time when you could. You probably were able to buy the Kinder Surprise through import stores, but since 1997 the FDA has ordered a recall of all Kinder eggs. Recently, a Canadian woman had her Kinder egg seized at the border and was asked to pay a $300 fine. They are serious business because of an FDA ruling that you cannot completely embed non-edible objects inside of candy because of the choking hazard presented to children under 3.Smeagol150 said:

Hence our guide to the pronunciation. I was afraid people would think it was an egg that was more kind than another.dex-dex said:
Is Kinder selling in America now? The last place I got some Kinder chocolate was at a deli that sells European food.
well... I´m just going to be that guy, um, girl, to point out that "Kinder" does not rhyme with "tender".
But anyway. I don´t actually like them, but they do drop in an interesting way ;-)

Thank goodness video of one doesn't constitute import; I wouldn't want a $300 to $5000 fine for bringing one into the US.
"Kinder" rhymes with "tinder," not "tender/Bender." maybe "Spinster?" ...though it's a well-known fact that slant rhymes make baby penguins cry.
