Do you know that US kids don't know the majestic taste of Kinder Surprise? It turns out, selling
of non-nutritious objects inside confectionery is banned in the US. The rationale beside
this is that such products are usually intended for kids, and thus pose a public safety hazard
of choking for unsuspecting customer. I don't know if there is a customer not knowing about
what's inside Kinder Surprise, minding the company's marketing budget, but that's a plausible
explanation. Yes it blatantly calls all America population dumb idiots, but rationale is good
enough. This must be a colossal butthurt for the manufacturer. What a market lost! Especially
given the American love to celebrate the pagan holiday know in Christianity as Easter, complete
with eggs, bunnies, blackjack and hookers and ***. You can't place non-nutritious things
inside confectionery. Period. But wait a minute. Even I know at least one more confectionery
with non-edible objects inside. That's fortune cookie. You may think the paper is edible,
but not, it's common cheap paper. Edible will be too expensive. And it may be intended for
kids. Personally, I never eat them and whenever I have a meeting in a Chinese dinery, I bring
these suckers home. Yes, some of them have a stripe of paper visible, but mostly they
don't. So what idiocy or corruption makes eating paper okay, but not plastic?
