It’s banned in the US because we’re sue-crazy. Companies can’t rely on the common sense of their customers here. Even if the egg comes with a blinking neon sign that says there’s a non edible toy inside, someone would sue (and win!) claiming that it’s not enough and the toy shouldn’t be there in the first place.
Without a warning, sure. But they aren’t trying to hide that there is something inedible in there. It’s not even a “hey, there is a prize inside one of the brownies in this box.” It’s, “there is something inside this thin chocolate shell. Break it to see what it is.”
Kinder eggs should NOT be banned, and Americans have an inferior product because of it.
…but also I agree with the banning of Red dye #3.

The ban is against putting inedible objects inside food. It’s a sensible ban imo.
It’s a toy. A succulent little toy.
I see you know your judo well.
I live in a place where kinder eggs arent banned and i dont often find rocks inside cheap brownies. Theres a way to have both lol

I was about to protest, but grog calls for red dye #2, so we’re all good.
