    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.

      The law that banned them actually started because, capitalism being capitalism, a pharmaceutical company just straight up made a medicine that was poison.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Food,_Drug,_and_Cosmetic_Act_of_1938

      The initial regulations banned any inclusion of inedible material in edible products. It wasn’t about choking, necessarily, more targeted at companies including inedible fillers and sediment contamination, although about ten kids have died from the Kinder Surprise eggs and it’s just a stupid product made with shitty chocolate even in Europe.
