Come on... seriously...? What give in the US? Have you guys gone all bananas? Too many rotten eggs in the south me thinks.

Man I grew up with these eggs I never herd of someone choking on the plastic egg within the chocolate egg? We all knew there is toys in them..

With crazy stuff like this, this is why I don't go to the US.. I'm sure they would find something on me to complain about.. or bill or jail.. Just nuts down there.

Was it not the writer of the American Narional Anthem who died chocking on pits of fruit? Maybe they try to take counter measures...

A small child could choke on the toy inside, but there was a measure developed to prevent that from happening, a little thing called: A PARENT

In the european edition there is always a slip included which states in about 937 languages: "not suitable for minors under 3 because they might swallow the small parts."

So I guess here we think that 3yr olds are mature enough to handle them.

Addictive and a bugger to stop using though once you start.

Cocaine is kinda bad to get off to.
