Does anyone know where I can find those Kinder Surprise Eggs that are made of chocolate and have the MLP figures inside? Walmart, Target, some pharmacy?Thanks in advance!
It's not because the toys are considered choking hazards. It's because, in the 1930s, food manufacturers would "bulk up" food with sawdust and other random junk. So a law was passed in the US saying that inedible content cannot be contained within a food item.Kinder Eggs entirely enclose their toy in chocolate; therefore it is illegal under the law because the capsule is "contained inside" food. It's not that the law is specifically TRYING to "go after" Kinder Eggs, it's just that they happen to fall under the umbrella.However, eggs in the style of Choco Treasure are allowed:visitors can't see pics , please register or loginSee the yellow seam of plastic? It is part of the capsule. Because it is visible, it gets around the ban on inedible items "contained inside food" (since it's not 100% contained).I believe some Kinder Eggs also come in this style too (with the seam), and those ones may be imported into the US.Edit: The other eggs I was thinking of was the "Kinder Joy" egg. I'm not sure if it's another product FROM Kinder Egg or if it's just a similarly named product from another company.visitors can't see pics , please register or loginBut at any rate, the toy and the chocolate are in separate sides of the egg, and therefore legal in the US.
I live in the US, and there's a fancy imported chocolate store in the mall where I work, and they get shipments of Kinder Eggs pretty frequently, though they sell out pretty fast. I always wonder how they get around the law. Come to think of it, there's another store around here that sometimes has them too.
