For a long time there was no US version because one dumbass kid choked somewhere sometime or the other. Rather than accept the kid was foolish they banned them outright.

What’s the difference between the European version and the us version

The European version has the toy directly inside the chocolate egg, like you see in the photo.
The US version has the egg split in two inside. Both sides are plastic shells. One side has the toy, and the other side has a weird creme that you scoop out with an included plastic spoon.

Europe (at least Germany, primarily in Summer) has that very same kinder joy though?

In the US though you’re not allowed to include toys inside the chocolate because “choking risk.” We all think it’s dumb too but honestly it just seems like we constantly have more important shit to care about, we’re not taking to the streets for some chocolate eggs.

Turns out you’re wrong, as is so frequently your case with “common knowledge.”
The regulation that prevents it is one that precludes inedible material being added to food, aimed at the addition of sawdust or as a tool to smack down companies literally adding gravel dust into food.
Of course, now they just call the sawdust cellulose-based fiber addictive.
