Yeah, OMG PEOPLE MIGHT CHOKE.

SO SAD. I mean there is a lot of chocolate out there, but kinder eggs have their charm.

I believe there is a US version that has little candy figurines inside because I'm pretty sure I've seen them for sale locally after the ban went into effect.

I am unsurprised by this. We let small children fire weapons at gun shows, but we can't let them eat candy with toys in it because they might choke. *sigh*

Oh, and then we have border patrol seize the contraband candy . . . because they don't have anything better to do with their time. *grumble*

kids should have kinder eggs *and* learn how to use guns! not at the same time though :)

although I don't know exactly what "small" means. all toads will learn gun safety and archery when they are 10ish. I did and it was a good thing.

Ha yes! That is my favourite example for my International Business students of how you can't assume a market plan can cross a border into even a very similar country. Fortunately for Ferrero, there's always the Tic-Tac.

tic-tacs are not anywhere near as yummy as chocolate w/toys.

the problem with you working is fewer comments. you need to up your game lady.
