    The american law prohibiting objects in food predates the kinder eggs by decades. And it’s because people use to put all kinds of shit in american food. The law that bans them into is the Food, Drug and Cosmetic act of 1938.

        Yeah, people like to mock us about it, but I think it’s a reasonable regulation.

        It should apparently be amended, though. There is a known case that it accidentally forbids but should not forbid.

        No godamn idea. I don’t have to worry about that law and I don’t know what exemption they used. I know it exists, why, and that kinder eggs are prohibited due to this law.
