    I’m confused, they never said it was in reaction to specifically kinder surprise eggs?

    These little treats full of joy are banned in the United States because, in 1938, a law was passed prohibiting the sale of confectionary items containing “non-nutritive objects,” and the Kinder Surprise’s plastic capsule, which holds the toy, is considered just that.

      If only they could see our foods now. If the crap we put into our foods on purpose wasn’t enough, think about all the microplastics! Lol
