Forgive the selfie- I needed proof to show the droves of Americans who don't believe in Kinder Surprise.
I've only seen Kinder Surprise in memes since they're illegal in the US. Well, I'm travelling abroad and saw one in a gas station display and decided this is how I'm going to start my new year- breaking the 'murican law!
I got a toy car and yes, I put the stickers on it.

The kinderjoy in America are half chocolate half packaged toy. The ones with chocolate covering a plastic shell with toy inside r illegal.

Congrats your law breaker you. Now wait until we report this infraction to Customs.

The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act bans "the sale of any candy that has embedded in it a toy or trinket".
CyFestus
It says ON the egg that it's illegal to sell in the US...?
DeviatedPrevert
they sell them at the walmart 2 miles from me
CyFestus
Those are probably Kinder Joy, a different type. I've seen them in Walmart too.

I dont think they're illegal in the US any more. Not for some time.
CyFestus
Nope, still illegal. They sell a different Kinder product with the toy OUTSIDE the egg under a different name, but can't remember what it is
WhatDoYouMeanIcantStickmyFingersthere3
Those are the Kinder Joys I think.
iamdroopy
They have special ones for the US. They have the toy in a separate compartment and not inside the candy.
AlexanderDude
Yup. Its called a kinder joy
didiefastgmes454
The ones fully encased in chocolate still are. Right now they only sell the ones that split in separate compartments.

I was thinking of the Kinder Joys then. I dont eat them either way, only my daughter does so I really dont follow it.

Those things are super fun. Found some in a local candy store and bought some... Honestly I think they are super fun cause they're illegal.
didiefastgmes454
Was it the fully encased in chocolate ones or two separate compartments?
jmichaelson77
A giant yellow pill case fully encased in chocolate. Yeah they were legit but I don't think the candy store knew.
didiefastgmes454
Oh I'm sure they knew based on the trouble to get them in. Devious.
jmichaelson77
Well I loved them as much as the kids. Oh and btw you are adorable. I had to throw that in. Enjoy your new year.
didiefastgmes454
Well thank ya kindly stranger. Gosh knows if I found the legit ones I'd buy a pile too. Happy New Year. To you as well.
