It's dangerous to hide small plastic capsules in candy ..... but it's perfectly Ok for anyone to buy an assault rifle.

- just be happy there’s no assault rifle in the capsule

  What do you mean? It's my God given right to store my assault rifle inside my plastic capsule inside my candy! Who are you to tell me not to?

  It won't fit. But bullets would.

- The food code should probably just be amended. It pretty generically says that you can’t have “nonnutritive” stuff inside of it, unless that stuff is safe to consume. That’s a pretty reasonable thing, but it should probably be tweaked for nonnutritive stuff that is easy to spot and less likely to be mistaken for food.

  Yep. It's the same law keeping sawdust out of food that is also banning kinder eggs.

- Americans are so stupid these would kill more kids than school shooters if they were legal.

- We all assume people are at least as smart as we think we are but honestly they aren't. It's scary how many stupid people there are even if you are at the lower part of the average. Millions... It's always the lowest common denominator that the world ends up being built for it seems and that means it's not required for millions above that...

Here in the UK, those yellow capsules are often recycled to use for concealing drugs in your anus. Happy Halloween!

51
- Here in Germany they are often recycled to carry shock blankets or safety gloves inside of travelling backpacks... so yeah...

  In Canada they're def used for drugs! Take that Germany you suck! Drugs are good!

  There is no way you can cram a space blanket into a kinder egg.

- Out of the brown substance it was found, and to the brown stuff it shall return.

Triggered...

That chocolate is awesome, it's stupid AF for it to be illegal in the US.

I may or may not have been busted by customs carrying several dozen of these, and may or may not have not been caught a few other times...

- They are now in the US they just took the toy away so american children don't choke

  They were too fat to see the capsule

  No... what we got has toys, it's just in a split clamshell kinda deal, with a toy in one half, and a Nutella like paste in the other half with a little malt ball in it. It's crap and I hate it :)
  
  The split pack "freedom" version is called kinder joy, as opposed to kinder surprise.

- Hold on, if there is one thing that isn't awesome is the chocolate. The toy is amazing, the chocolate trigger childhood memories. But it's really bad chocolate.

The surprise is DEATH!

How can you possibly choke with something that big? Yeah you can but it would need to enter in a very specific angle right?

8
- There's smaller parts inside the capsule. Ravenous American children aren't allowed to have them.

  Our love affair with eating starts early. And sometimes it ends early, too.

  Well, to choke on the toys inside you have to open it, clearly differencing it from the food. If that's dangerous then kids shouldn't have toys at all.

People act like America had some sort of campaign against Kinder Eggs when it just violated a blanket "you can't put non-food things inside food" rule.

And Europe HAS lost children to them so I don't know why that became an American thing.

- How many children have died to school shootings the last 10 years compated to children dying due to kinder eggs

  Bro what does that have to do with anything. All I'm saying is no one banned Kinder Eggs, they just fell under existing rules.
  
  Like I know you're trying to pin this as a wrong priorities thing but FDA regulations are not the fight here.

- I only found one article about a 3yr french girl that died because of the kinder toy. Are there more cases?
  
  Anyway, poor girl

  At least 3 more according to a lawsuit back in 2000. https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Parents+hit+out+at+EU+over+tiny+deadly+toys.-a065156393

In America they separated the toy from the chocolate because kids were choking on it

- EU kids > US kids

Imagining some kid just downing the entire egg now

"Illegal in the USA"

Or so I was told...

- Yes. They swallow everything whole.
