    Sorry we can’t have those either becuase we’re too [something] to raise our kids. They got pulled and reformulated in the US because of choking hazards.

    Guys it’s a trap! There’s a hard thing in the middle that doesn’t have any flavor, and I nearly killed myself swallowing it!

    Calling my lawyer now.

    Lol, these were actually legit banned until somewhat recently. So this post actually makes a bit of sense!

    Are the toys inside original again or still just stupid marketing tie ins of the movie du jour?

      If you’re in usa, it’s illegal to sell the good ones. You’re not allowed to have inedible, non-food items fully surrounded by food. Items like corndogs are ok since the stick is exposed, but the plastic eggs fully enclosed by chocolate are not ok.

      We can’t have nice things because American corporations couldn’t be trusted to not bake rocks into bread, unless it was against the law

        You can do that here, you just can’t sell it and also call it food. You could sell such a thing as a rock with organic protective covering and be as OK as anyone is here.

    I mean we have them just not the ones with plastic in them. I guess they wouldn’t quite taste the same.

        The American version is two packaged chocolate halves. The toy is in the middle. The original is banned by FDA in America because it has the plastic egg within the chocolate egg and there is a clause in the FDA regulations that says non food items cannot be within packaging unless necessary. And the toy is not necessary according to them. The taste is a texture (shape) difference. Ingredients are the same as far as I know.

        If I remember correctly, they don’t even have chocolate in solid form, and the plastic egg splits into two halves, with one having the toy inside and the other some kind of white thing with two balls.

        This is not really a kinder egg tbh, it is too different and loses the cool part about it which is the toy being inside the chocolate egg.

    At this point I’m mad they don’t sell Kinder Predictable, with a second piece of candy instead of a toy.

    The egg itself is delicious.
