It's dangerous to hide small plastic capsules in candy ..... but it's perfectly Ok for anyone to buy an assault rifle.

    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...

    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...

    No... what we got has toys, it's just in a split clamshell kinda deal, with a toy in one half, and a Nutella like paste in the other half with a little malt ball in it. It's crap and I hate it :)

    The split pack "freedom" version is called kinder joy, as opposed to kinder surprise.

    Which is funny because that version adds more choking hazards. As there is the small plastic spoon and the toy is more easy accesible to a kid.

    That said the side of the toy+ spoon can be separated by a parent and kept away and give them just the Nutella side and give them a proper spoon that they probably won't choke on.

    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.

    Well, to choke on the toys inside you have to open it, clearly differencing it from the food. If that's dangerous then kids shouldn't have toys at all.

    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.

    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.
