It's dangerous to hide small plastic capsules in candy ..... but it's perfectly Ok for anyone to buy an assault rifle.
Americans are so stupid these would kill more kids than school shooters if they were legal.
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.
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!
Here in Germany they are often recycled to carry shock blankets or safety gloves inside of travelling backpacks... so yeah...
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
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
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
The surprise is DEATH!
"Hey we don't think there should be inedible plastic inside edible chocol-"
"GUNS, BUT GUNS, BUT YOU GUYS DON'T BAN GUNS, GUNNNNSSSSS"
How can you possibly choke with something that big? Yeah you can but it would need to enter in a very specific angle right?
There's smaller parts inside the capsule. Ravenous American children aren't allowed to have them.
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
