In regards to earlier comments, it’s funny what is legal or illegal in some countries. I was quite surprised to hear that renting movies/games is illegal in most other countries. (In fact, I learned recently on Youtube Nintendo tried to pressure USA Congress to make renting games illegal in the late ‘80s, and even tried to sue Blockbuster Video back then. One of the few times, I’m not on Nintendo’s side.)

Who doesn’t?!

@DanTheMan  
How dare she! I eat the chocolate!

She… threw away the chocolate?  
What kind of a sick, twisted bastard is she, anyway?

@Background Pony #7C64  
That face tells me she’s not the least bit intimidated by you.

I will rip your fucking wings off, you purple sack of shit!

And this is how twilight became a princess.

“I’m a princess! Are you a princess?”

@Background Human  
There was also a sicker in the wonder balls.

@The Twelfth Doctor Whoof  
Adding to that: in 1997 Nestlé released a similar product, Nestlé Magic, despite the FDA’s warning that it was technically illegal. The company hired a team of lobbyists to get the laws on the books changed, and sure enough Mars assembled its own lawyers to stop them. Then the complaints started rolling in. In the three months the product was on store shelves, Nestlé had to report a dozen choking incidents to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Eventually they just said “screw it” and pulled the product voluntarily. (They would later bring it back as the Wonder Ball, with candy instead of toys and a catchy-as-fuck jingle, but that’s neither here nor there.)
 
So yes, we have empirical data that American kids can’t be trusted with these things.

@Prof.NightJack  
OK, just Washington

@Background Pony #E162  
And so do you.
 
 
Look the system is messed up and there are lots of people that know how wrong it is, but a “nuclear enema”…

@The Twelfth Doctor Whoof  
I have taken Kindereggs across the US border from vacations Quebec. US Customs did not search my bags, but I’m glad to hear they are helping big business and not worrying about terrorism or drugs or anything.
 
This whole country needs a nuclear enema :/

Why Are Kinder Eggs Illegal In the USA? - Answer: There’s a law on the books from 1938 that bans nonedibles hidden inside confectioneries. _{^{(cake doesn’t count as confection, which is why Mardi Gras King Cake is still legal despite having a much smaller thing in it)}}
 
Officially it’s to protect children from choking (let’s be honest here: kids, particularly American ones, are not known for their intelligence), and that was almost certainly the case before the Kinder Surprise came around, but more recently, U.S. chocolate companies - Mars specifically - have pressured the government to keep as much European chocolate out as possible. Thus, U.S. Customs dutifully searches your bags, and if they find a Kinder egg, you’ll be slapped with a fine of $1200-per-egg.
 
There actually is a mock-Kinder egg that is legal in the USA; it gets around the law by having the interior capsule be partly visible from the outside. Unfortunately, the quality of the chocolate is considered inferior to Ferrero’s Kinder egg. Americans, famously distrustful and dismissive of their government, sometimes smuggle in Kinder eggs specifically because they’re told they can’t, not unlike how they smuggle in products from Cuba (or go there) in direct violation of the 1961 Embargo.
 
And Now You Know.

@Choo  
Actually they are kind of making a comeback in the US, it’s actually somthing called Choco Treasure and it’s capsule has a ridge that splits the chocolate into two halves, Kinder Surprise having it’s capsule fully within the egg is why it’s banned.  
So not actual Kinder Surprise in the US but you can get the type of candy.

YOU DIDN’T EVEN EAT THE CHOCOLATE, YOU MONSTER!

@Keith Mowz  
Aren’t those the latest edition’s replacement for Halflings and Gnomes?

@Joshua  
Yes. The only place you can’t get them is in the US because they think kids will chock on the toys in candy.

@Joshua  
???

@mrdoctorderpy  
I’ll most likely eat the chocolate egg. Why throw it out?

@Joshua  
Depends on what country you live in

@Joshua  
I thought they were everywhere except the U.S.

SCREW YOU TWITWI YOU BITCH WHY DID YOU DO THAT GODDAMMIT WHYYYY
