Today, in Things that do Not Make Sense About The US: The Kinder Egg is not legal. Guns are legal. No child has ever died from a Kinder Egg. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø I am far more afraid of a gun than I am of a Kinder Egg, thank you.

@maique @phinnia I might be making this up but the issue is that there is plastic inside the chocolate egg. I think…

@maique I buy Kinder ā€œEggsā€ to my girls all the time, literally every time we go to our local store lol. The version we get here is that the chocolate and the toy are packaged separately, half side of the egg has the chocolate and the other the toy. Yeah, I think the idea was that kids were choking with the toys but I don’t recall reading anything about a real incident

@Omrrc Yes, but all the plastic is safely encapsulated in a large, brightly colored capsule. And one of my uncles was killed by glass beads in cracker jacks.

@phinnia @omrrc Of course, this was in the era of ā€˜glass prizes in Cracker Jacks’. But still.
