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.

Ya kidding? My 8, 5 and 3 year olds love Kinder Surprise. They seem to have no problems with them.

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.

Da wiehert der Amtsschimmel...

I want to know where the US government is keeping it's secret stash of 25,000 Kinder eggs.

I suspect they may be trying to cause a global shortage to drive the price up or something. I smell a conspiracy! Where's me tinfoil hat?

They're banned here because the egg man freak in this commercial is nightmare fuel. I can imagine some Washington-type seeing this, his eyes widen, he shakes his jowls and says "N-n-no! We can't have *that!*" :

Tchocky · 01-12-11, 08:18 AM

I read *somewhere* that Kinder eggs are one of the most commonly seized items by US Border Patrol.

Whatever, americans prefer brownies and doughnuts.
Keep the Kinder eggs out of the US.

Silly,

In the U.S. it is boasted we have freedoms and 'rights' unlike any other country in the world. Yet for some odd reason as a country have more laws on the books than any other country in the world. Why is this one might ask? We've been trained well, if there is even a hint or a perception something is wrong. The people immediately demand the government of the people for the people fix it. We invite this into every aspect of our lives every time then get pissed off when elected officials do what is demanded of them! Go figure.

Just an observation nothing more.
