Here in the UK, those yellow capsules are often recycled to use for concealing drugs in your anus. Happy Halloween!
No one is safe from these psychos. Please stay safe

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
Manzas@lemdro.id 1 year ago
They were too fat to see the capsule
aelwero@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.
telllos@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.

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
Anestoh@lemm.ee 1 year ago
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.
Siegfried@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I only found one article about a 3yr french girl that died because of the kinder toy. Are there more cases?
Anyway, poor girl
Anestoh@lemm.ee 1 year ago
At least 3 more according to a lawsuit back in 2000. thefreelibrary.com/Parents+hit+out+at+EU+over+tin…

The surprise is DEATH!
wiikifox@pawb.social 1 year ago
How can you possibly choke with something that big? Yeah you can but it would need to enter in a very specific angle right?
nomecks@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There’s smaller parts inside the capsule. Ravenous American children aren’t allowed to have them.
babypigeon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Our love affair with eating starts early. And sometimes it ends early, too.
wiikifox@pawb.social 1 year ago
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.

In America they separated the toy from the chocolate because kids were choking on it
nyoooom@lemmy.world 1 year ago
EU kids > US kids /s
verysoft@kbin.social 1 year ago
Imagining some american kid just downing the entire egg now

“Illegal in the USA”
Or so I was told…
random_character_a@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes. They swallow everything whole.

It’s dangerous to hide small plastic capsules in candy … but it’s perfectly Ok for anyone to buy an assault rifle.
affiliate@lemmy.world 1 year ago
just be happy there’s no assault rifle in the capsule
Player2@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
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?
AeonFelis@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Yep. It’s the same law keeping sawdust out of food that is also banning kinder eggs.

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…
