Kinder Surprise Eggs - Page 2

Apparently they are considered a choking hazard here because it's a non-food item hidden in food.

... and furthermore ...

So, it's fine for major burger chains to sell non-food items disguised as food, with all the chronic health risks of this, but raise the risk of some doofus choking on a plastic toy container and OMG that must not be!

America. Where almost anyone can have a gun, but Kinder Surprises are too dangerous!

I don't know what they're called, but a friend of the family brought these chocolate eggs with a toy inside for my nephew from France when he came to visit one time. Sadly, they were confiscated at customs and thrown away.

That's too funny, Zen. And so, so true.

First, let's kill all the lawyers...

It's a kinder, gentler egg.

I LOVE these things! Not the chocolate so much, but the toy. I am almost positive you could take a trip to Canada to buy them.....hmmm, road trip!!

Yeah, the chocolate isn't much to write home about.

Yes, my mom was a witch, and made snakes in the basement of the trailer. That's what she told us, and that's what we believed.

Those are cool, but they smell like burning tires.

It was a question on QI "The most confiscated item intercepted by US customs" or somesuch. Amazed me.

I'd offer to send some, but now I've put that in writing I've lost any chance of pleading Not Guilty.

I'll buy one every now and then for you and take photos. Oh and Bruce is right - the quality of the toys varies enormously. Especially as they often have a collectible set of figures. If you're having one every 10 months or so, you get NO fun out of a little plastic crocodile in a hat or whatever it is. And yet an office college of mine used to buy them off the sandwich trolley almost every day, and she was disappoint too. Again with the crocodile with the fishing pole!

This is how they were advertised in the 80s:

You're right bbro.
It's worse when it moves and speaks.

DanaC · 09-08-2012, 06:16 AM

Chocadoobeeee!

Yeah that thing is terrifying... especially since it speaks in tounges.
