This shocked me - According to Wikipedia, 10 children 'worldwide' have died from choking on parts of the Kinder toy since it's launch in 1968. This equates to roughly 1 in every 5.4 years. By comparison, every day, 22 children and teens (1-17) are shot in the United States alone. This means that since Kinder was introduced 54 years ago, 10 children around the world choked on Kinder toys while 433, 620 US kids were shot. Clearly banning Kinder eggs is justified - in the US..

As a Belgian, I always laugh when Americans call themselves 'The land of Freedom' because compared to many countries here in Europe the US looks like a concentration camp. 😂

"Mama, i wanna have a Kinderegg"
"No, its too dangerous, go to play with the gun"

In Germany, not every street has crosswalks. And when you learn to drive, you're taught to pay attention to people crossing the streets

To me it's mind blowing how kinder eggs are threat to children but then nothing is done against guns which is the number one killer of children in the USA

The USA in a nutshell: not allowed to eat chocolate with a toy inside, because that’s too dangerous for kids, but they can walk around with guns 🤦🏻‍♀️

Never heard of anybody chocking on an Kinder egg. We all know that there is a toy inside. That’s why we bought them.

Greeting from Germany ✌🏻

On a visit to the US in the 1990s I discovered jaywalking and found the concept crazy.
Being British I have always had the freedom to cross a road (except for motorways) whenever I like and I’ve never had a problem.
The only person I have known to be hit by a vehicle, was a guy from San Francisco who told me that when he was in London he looked the wrong way before crossing and got hit by a double decker bus! He was more shocked that he received extensive medical treatment and didn’t have to pay a penny.

Homeland Security against cheese smugglers really had me rolling on the floor from laughter. I didn't realize they were THAT bored.

Every (almost every) kid in Germany eats kinder eggs like this: break it in a half, take the yellow egg out, open it, being disappointed it's not the fancy item they wanted, then drown their sorrow in the chocolate. Joke aside: every kid knows that there is a toy inside and they are quite careful. But the age regulation is important: not for children under three due to small parts/choking hazard. (This warning is on every egg)

The US bans a darts garden toy, but allows everyone to own a gun. Totally logical :D

I heard about "loitering" in US. My friend wait for ride on parking of shopping mall for 10 min, and police showed up, so he must to explain what exactly he was doing there. They checked his ID and and tell him to go somewhere else, because he was loitering. And it's actual crime. For real. wtf

As a kid i got this metal samurai figurine in one of my many Kinder Eggs, and i always loved it.
A few years ago i found out from a Kinder Egg toy collector site that it was part of a series of four figurines.
I found the other three on eBay and reworked them into zipper pulls for my gym bags (martial arts), so now twice a week i get to carry my old friend with me to the dojo.

In the Netherlands you'll often find these plastic Kinder Egg toys on peoples' desks, no matter their age.
They have become a cultural thing both children and adults still enjoy.

"The moment we find out that something puts children in danger, legislators pull out all the stops to insure that we try to keep our kids safe" UNLESS they get shut at school. Then we do nothing. Oh wait, thoughts and prayers.

[HB-blmn]

They can't have kinder eggs, but at least they can grab daddies guns from the sock drawer. Nuts.

I’ve spent 13 vacations in the USA and one of the best questions I’ve been asked was “do you have Stilton cheese in England” 😂😂

[l.o.s.e.r]

As a french person with a family member in the cheese industry, I laughed so much XD.
Also, the cheese with like green/bleu things in it, it's call "Roquefort" because it's a name reserve if the cheese is made in the city with that name or its call "Bleu", Blu. Yea like the color. And that's things in the cheese are bacteria introduce in the process of the cheese. It's really flavoring apparently -

I think it is hilarious that you are afraid of a chocolate egg with a toy in it yet you are ok with leaving loaded guns around your home's

Kinder egg: Has caused 10 choke deaths in 50 years
Regular hot dog: Causes 3-10 choke deaths every single year

US: BAN THE EGG!

"Don't eat Kinder Eggs, get shot in your school instead!" 🤣

Actually, the Kinder Joy wasn't made for the USA but for the summer break. For decades, supermarkets and kiosks hadn't fancy air conditioning, refrigerated transport was incredibly expensive, and cars hadn't air conditioning either. So, many manufacturers decided to shut down their chocolate selling in the summer or tried to find ways around. I remember when Ferrero announced the Kinder Joy at the ad break of kids TV directly after they declared the summer break for the Kinder egg. Ferrero solved the issue of molten eggs by just replacing it with a creme perfectly fluid at summer conditions. In the autumn, they announced in their ads that the Kinder egg is back and the Kinder Joy goes into the break. Since the introduction, they swap the product selling every summer as far as I can remember it, and we loved it when we were children because both products were great but kinda boring other time. The swapping adds variety. That they can sell the new product into the USA what is kinda ridiculous because just 10 kids died from choking the toy in 50 years of selling it and everyone of them died from choking the toy after they opened the egg because the yellow cover is in fact too big to be swallowed by a normal human. Not even most adults can swallow it. So, what's the point of allowing the sell with the toy separated but forbid the sell of the egg with an anti-ckphoking protection around the toy? That's stupid ah.
