Suprak the Stud 12/16/11 7:10:00 AM #54:	Did Kinder Eggs rape your mother and made you sterile too? You seem to have a real grudge towards them! I'm just mad I can't cram the giant egg toy dispenser into my gullet. But let me make my position here clear: 1) The law banning them is stupid, as kids are dumb and can choke on anything if you're not watching them. 2) Kinder eggs have subpar chocolate and there are literally hundreds of other places I can get chintzy little toys when I'm a kid, so I don't care. -- Moops?

I'm also assuming that they're smaller than plastic Easter eggs. I couldn't find definite dimensions on the capsules, but I read 4.5cm, which is less than 2 inches in diameter.

As in you need to break open that food to get it. The way the egg is shaped its not meant to be bite into like you're thinking. The egg is just too big to stick into your mouth whole, its segregated down the middle and is meant to be consumed as two halves. So no its not "in the food", its concealed by the food. You unwrap the foil, pull the two sides apart and the toy capsule drops out. You eat the halves. Thats how normal people eat a kinder egg. There seems to be some sort of assumption that kids are going to unlock their jaw, devouring a giant egg, plastic capsule and toy all at once here or something. -- Smurf The cream of Sonic Fanboyism.

__Smurf__ 12/16/11 10:26:00 AM #75:	From: neonreaper \| #040 usually I agree with "follow the money" but no one was ever worried about Kinder running rampant in America! The only other alternative is to take it all at face value. That the American Authorities believe one of the most globally spread and enjoyed treats which is fully acceptable everywhere else is for some reason a deadly hazard to americans. Now I can totally see the merit of their law and how Kinder Eggs might fall under a technicality ban. What really gets me is how aggressively it seems to be policed, how around Easter the border authorities seem to be actively checking for these specific items, when there are already many items readily for sale under their noses that they don't seem to care about. -- Smurf The cream of Sonic Fanboyism.

Guess its the tiny parts inside that matter. I did assume any choking deaths came from the small toys inside, though given the 3+ years warning presumably the rate is no higher than with any other small toys. Although the american law seems to draw issue with the capsule rather than whats inside it. There's no law preventing toys with small parts if they come with the proper age recommendation to parents. -- *Smurf* , The Cream of Sonic Fanboyism <cite>__Smurf__ posted [p:560359] in so erm kin...
