Illegal In the US, Legal In the World... American REacts 

10 children have died in the last 50 years from choking on the toy in a Kinder egg, Though that is a tiny amount considering 3.5 billion eggs are now sold each year, But 10 is still very sad. But in the US around 500 children die each year from finding a unsecured gun in their home and either shooting themselves or a sibling.

@@deanrolph6912 those 10 children also did NOT die from accidentally swallowing an (invisible?) big yellow capsule, but from swallowing parts of the (probably unassembled) toys after opening the chocolate egg, AND opening the capsule, and ONLY THEN trying to eat the toys, which would similarly apply to ALL small toys (that are not forbidden) ... of course, one every 5 years is one too many, but with 50 years times billions of eggs, there were probably MANY more children killed by cars on the way to or from stores to buy those eggs.

@@Anson_AKB… which proves that these eggs are dangerous 😉

Only in the USA!

I got several tin figurines from Kinder eggs, you can throw it and hurt someone. My favorite was R2D2 looking robots, they did make it enough different, to not be sued . Cheap copies had way more dangerous stuff, more small parts and even the plastic toy container could shatter in sharp pieces, with Kinder eggs you really had to make an effort to destroy that yellow container.

And chocolate's are full of chemicals known for being bad for human consumption when manufactured in America.

@@gregmayo6987 Kinder isn't American chocolate though. It's Italian

@@pete_lind " even the plastic toy container could shatter in sharp pieces" No, they can not. They are to soft. They are designed so they can not ahtter in sharp pieces because Europeans are aware of this possibillity and do make them so, that there is no need to bann it. And what you said to the figurines and parts... yes but this counts for the most toys in the USA too. But our parents teach us to not eat toys. And our parents don'T give us the eggs and leave us alone. They stay there,. open the container for us. help us to build the toy together and watch out, that we eat the chocolate and not the toy. Every year in the US more children dying on choking food than children on choking kinder egg toys in over 50 years all around the world. So maybe the US should ban food?

reclassify microplastics as toys maybe.

Somebody added that r in by accident. Land of the fee is very accurate.

@@spugelo359 😂 one of the best replies to a comment I've had on RU-vid! 😂

Not true. The evil socialist European governments force people to pay taxes to give medical care to other people, but in the US poor people are free to be sick as much as they want. European governments subsidise food production so that all food is good quality, but in the US people are free to save money by buying low quality food. In Europe guns are highly regulated, but in the US your crazy neighbour who doesn't take his meds is free to buy any gun he wants. See, there are lots of freedoms.

Come to Europe Pay double the tax and get half the freedom....than you will over think...lol

@@hansosl I only pay 10% tax and for that I get a bunch of stuff you americans have to pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars per month for besides your taxes, so if you add up taxes + everything that are included in our taxes but not in yours, then the average american spends a larger portion of their income for the same things.... And also, tell me exactly what freedoom you have that we don't? The right to bear arms? No thank you, I'd rather not have that! And we have something called right to roam which means we are free to go hiking and even camping on private property as long as we're not disturbing the land or the landowner... And we have the peace of mind that we can get sick or injured without having to worry about losing our jobs or getting bankrupt.... The american "freedoom" is nothing but a scam!

Everything everyone says about the US is true -provided you specifically are among the top 1% earners where the benefits actually start presenting themselves. For everyone else the "American dream" is exactly that: a dream. Not reality

but you will repeat that lie till you die, because its the only thing the USA is great in, propaganda!

I have the impression that many Americans live in a kind of bubble where they believe they are alone in the world or just the best, without realizing that they are living in an open-air prison. They are manipulated to believe that elsewhere it is prehistory when in their own country they are still in 1850. sad.

JasonBates It's rather refreshing to hear an American speak the truth about your countries shortfalls. I believe the negative reactions to Americans ranting mindlessly about their country being the greatest is citizens from other countries just trying to open the eyes of Americans who blindly believe their politicians, swallowing the crap sandwich they feed them. The worst speech I ever heard any American President give was George W. Bush, they hate us, and they hate our freedoms, just a con job on the American public bullshitting them into thinking USA was the only country with freedoms and unfortunately, that lie has stuck in the American psyche. That's why they under educate the people, so they aren't smart enough to catch the con.

do US people realy think they are the country of freedom ? i know progaganda is HUGE in the US but i always though the fact they actualy think they country is the one of freedom is more like a runing gag, people realy do believe that in US ? that's insane :o

Highest number of serial killers,highest number of cults,etc etc.

In most other contries kids under 14 cann't come in prison.

I was also thinking something similar. Of course it is tragic that kids have died from choking on Kinderegg toy parts, but hey - how many kids died from choking on other stuff during the same period? It should be known all across the world that small kids put anything in their mouths. Or peas up their nose or anything else really strange (for us adults). Small kids just need to be mostly supervised, anywhere in the world.

I've travelled to a lot of countries. Forget about the propaganda it (the USA has the most freedom of speech) You have to be very careful what you say. I a woman travelling on British passport (she was born in a British colony) American Customs went to shoot her on the spot because they couldn't understand geography.

@conallmclaughlin4545 in Australia, the word DEAR (expensive) The word means the same definition. I was shocked how violent was/is. American thought it was right to threaten to kill people because of their ignorance and boigertory. I will not go to the USA again, because I don't feel safe there.

Damn, you beat me to it! 😂🤣😂

kinder eggs gives money to a company outside the US. Chlorinated chicken makes big $$$ for US companies. You live in an oligarchy, just be aware of it.

Welcome to the land of the fr......chemicals

when you dig in this topic of food producing from the big food companies you can sum it up to : ignore the health of your own customers and your own population. The main thing is that every year the profit is higher just like anything - modern capitalism

Not "America", just the US

Exactly the reason why Kinder eggs need to be banned. Imagine all the egg related deaths on top of that. America would die out within two generations.

Firearms are safe as long as the ammunition isn't so small-calibre as to cause a choking hazard to the under 5s.

This is the dumbest take I've ever seen. Being obese led to higher death tolls since actual data shows obese people were the first to go. Being healthy, like those "podcasters" and "conspiracy theorists" were telling everyone, lowered your chances. 99.7% survival rate if you got it as well. Those in the media who got it and got over it quickly were vilified by the commies you support. Also, UK, Canada and the other heavily socialist countries are not "more free" than the US. You get arrested for "online hate speech" in the UK. People have been arrested in Canada for "misgendering" someone. Sorry but that silly "index" shows nothing.

The Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland) are in the top 10 in the freedom and rights index. Something to think about when people in the US call US communists.

Germany here. I confirm 👍

When I worked in a kitchen on the south coast of England, we had a "cheese man". I never learnt his name, we just called him cheese man. And he drove to us with a van full of hundreds of cheeses from all over Europe. Some were so delicious (some are not so nice), and they never made our customers sick.

@@jamesoshea580 Yes i mean hundreds of years of experience to make that cheese and when people would have died or get really sick in a row there wouldn't be a market left. I heared it wasn't directly linked to unpasteurised milk but more because of a trade fight between the USA and the EU for denying imports of US produced pork or something. But i'm not so sure about that.

There are so many different amazing cheeses, especially in France an Switzerland! Btw: 'ou' in Gouda is the same as in house

@@la-go-xy No, the type of cheese he calls Gouda is definately pronounced Goeda. It's got nothing to do with the Dutch cheese. The USA doesn't recognise EU protected cultural food classifications. USA Goeda has got a different production process from Dutch Gouda. Another reason why this type of cheese is illegal to import to the EU.

If a small kid manages to swallow the inner egg somehow, it should also be able to survive it. To be precise, the child would survive pretty much anything - except perhaps what is also sold as food in the US. ;-)

@@marcromain64 I have given these chocolate eggs to my nephews more than once and they have never swallowed anything . You need to understand what toy you give to children at what age 😁

True.

This is interesting, because as kids mum always helped us open them and was with us at the time. I never questioned why, lol, it was just how we did it. But I guess the choking risk was the reason why! (also an Australian here)

@Sussex192 Same here! I never questioned it until I was an adult and learned about the us laws a while back. Bit of a light bulb moment that made me grateful for the people around me at the time. I was an "Ooooo what's this! Let me taste it" kid.

Lol we don’t do micro parenting here in Norway as it’s basically seen as child abuse. I grew up on kinder eggs back in the 90’s and they would never supervise or open it for us. That’s half the fun. And it only makes sense if you gave it to a toddler who puts anything in their mouth if given the chance, which makes no sense because why would you give it to someone that young? Or give a toddler candy? If you said this to a Norwegian they would laugh you in the face thinking you’re insane🤣🤣🤣 Never heard of anyone here choking or dying of kinder eggs…

Kids would have to have a big mouth and wide Esophagus to swollow those toys, 😁.

If a child is over 2 years old and cant distinguish between the chocolate shell and the toy in the middle... then your child is handicapped pretty severely, and you should abandon the thought of other children needing the same supervision 😂.. 😂

Yeah so they ban lawn darts because it's killed and injured a few kids( a bit more than a few truly), yet they will not ban firearms that kill far more children every single day - go figure......idiots!

If you think Australia is tough on plant & animal imports you should check out New Zealand border Patrol shows, I got pulled up once of a varnished picture frame that was taken from me even with varnished wood being listed as legal on the declaration. Was told it was because of the type of wood but I doubt it because the friend I was traveling with had the same frame but his guard let it through.

@@TheFalconerNZ yeah I’ve seen the NZ show too! They are both crazy lol

Yep plants and animals banned, but if you are an Islamic terrorist come right in!

The new ones I've been watching are Border Control Sweden & Border Control Spain. The biggest thing was stopping people from transporting dairy items and meat items in their cases. It was crazy the things people were transporting frozen meats that had defrosted and had gone off. The last episode had an abandoned case and it was stinking and was full of maggots. Gross.

Yeh I know it's terrible these people protecting billions of dollars worth of industry instead of allowing you to bring in something to eat or hang on your wall and other very important things. 🤔🤔🤡🤡

In The Netherlands, every year drunk people wander into a canal and some don't make it out alive. Instead of putting huge fences around the canals or filling them in, he (yes) shouldn't have been so stupid to get so drunk that he wasn't aware of his surroundings anymore. Why he? Because they like to piss in the water and then lose their balance and fall in. Women don't do that. We don't cut down a row of trees next to the road either because someone speeding decided a tree was a good way to fold up his car in a tiny package. Yes. Again. His.

Same in Czech Republic.

One cheese tastes like an ant. How do I know that? One day while riding my bike I had something in my mouth which I bit. After the disgusting taste I spat the thing out and it was a tiny ant. Some time after that we had a cheese taste test at school and one of them tasted like that ant I bit into lol

@@Gamesta100 I never hate an ant. I wouldn’t know…. All cheeses taste different. That’s why there are thousands of them in France. 😉

do you take the maggots out of it, or eat it with the maggots? I assume the maggots already did their job when the cheese is eaten?

@anashiedler6926 we eat the maggots, but don't think of full size worm "maggots", they are really tiny (2 mm maximum, 0.079 of an inch for imperial friends) and they are completely white (or let's say, cheese's colour), so you'll see those only if you are looking for them, otherwise if you put the cheese in the bread, is like eating cream cheese, a bit spicy. Another way to see the maggots is to put the cheese in the fridge (inside a sealed container), all the maggots will leave the cheese and die in the container, then you can eat the "rotten cheese", but without the maggots (but really, you can't feel or taste the maggots, so no one here do it, or, for better saying, no one do it to kill the maggots, only to preserve the cheese from the heat, otherwise it stinks)

He must have heard others telling him: "You're a nut." :-)

I'm English and I agree. Unless you have a child who sticks any old small objects in their mouth, I don't see a need for supervision. Regardless, they will encounter small toys every day of childhood. People aren't giving these eggs to babies, or at least I hope not.

As a Norwegian I can tell you you are wrong! The eggs are deadly. Jeg har ingen aning om hvor mange ganger æ har bitt opp et egg og kjent lokket skytes inn i kjeften for å sette seg fast

We have the same tradition in France with "la galette des rois", wu put a mini character in it, and everyone, kids too, know there is something in this "galette", so no trouble.

In Spain we have "Roscón de Reyes" with two small figurines, a little king (if you get it you are the king of the day and it symbolizes good luck and a hard bean that means that you have to pay the Roscón.

Done in some households in Oz too

My grandmother had a special shilling coin (Au, and this is 30yrs after decimalisation) that found its way into many desserts, from plum pudding to lemon cake. Good luck, yes, but it also meant you were in Charge of doing the dishes. Was a bit of a game, if you got the coin, try and slip it into your sister/cousin/whoever is near dessert. Wasn't a big deal, because we generally all chipped in on those chores anyway. But a silly game to make family dinners a bit more fun.

@@arjovenzia I kept a "lucky penny" (1/12 of your grandmother's shilling) pre-decimalisation UK. It's as old as I am. It used to be a shilling that they put in the Christmas puddings. They've been around since 1502.

🤣

👍🤣

Here in Finland the rule is basically the same, except there is no set number of meters in our law. It just says that if there is no pedestrian crossing, underpass or overpass nearby, then you can cross where you want. So typically ambiguous by the lawmakers and I don't know how the police interprets this law. How far away is "nearby"?

Similar in Australia. I think it's within 20m of a dedicated crossing or street corner you have to cross there otherwise unless signed or barriers in the middle etc you can cross where you like but more responsibility falls on the pedestrian to be safe.

@@hazeman4755 - Lol, you're even more screwed than us! Imagine a police officer trying to give you a fine because you were nearby enough to use the crossing! 😄 At least 50m can be measured if the police really want to fine a pedestrian, which is something so rare that the definition of rare should be "pedestrians fined for jaywalking in Portugal". 😅

He had this rule in France until recently, but now it's gone. There are still pedestrian crossing so people are more safe but you can cross a street anywhere, and of course outside of cities, there are no pedestrian crossings so anything goes. Except on the freeways of course, pedestrian, bicycles and even mopeds are forbidden.

Drivers don't have to yield? Here it's common sense to let pedestrians pass when already on the street. Do you insist your right of way? Do you make them run? Drive them over? I can imagine that this is the game idea of Frogger. Probably a U.S. game, I don't look it up.

Just the thought of it makes me want to chunder, lol. 🤮

Wouldn't they convert it into maggot poo?

At this point, the Corsican variant of the maggot cheese, casgiu merzu, is more of a tourist prop for mainlander tourists visiting the island. People take pictures of it, but few eat it. Of course, Corsicans complain that their culture is being overlooked but in reality, very few of them would look at it, let alone consume it. It's traditional only to a few villages in the southernmost part of Corsica that's closest to Sardinia, its real homeland. To me, it's repulsing!

@@Sayitlikitiz101 Yeah, it's always mentionned, but much like other famous "special" food like sürstromming and harkal, it's really only a curiosity and not a staple or even a "traditionnal" food. In fact casgiu merzu is even "worse" since it's illegal to sell (as Legal eagle fairly mentionned) where sürstromming and harkal can be sold and are manufactured on a small scale at least.

played with real bow and arrows when younger, and when at my dads he got me brother real carbon crossbow both were deadly and crossbow very rare if at all supervised, my mums house mostly watched but they real bow arrows made for shows at castles made by a pro, but when we had eyes taken off us we did put odd arrow in house back yard far end field, HS gone mad these days

The problem sort of takes care of itself

In the US, depends on the states. Even if police don't care, jaywalking is generally prohibited in most states. In most European countries, there's no such concept and/or crime against "jaywalking" Under Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, it's legal to cross all road, except motorways or some expressways.

From EU! it is not! they rank 40 or even lower worldwide! ✌

Nah. Several Americans think that the world around them is a "socialist" dictatorship hellscape where people can't do anything either because of laws or administrative hoops or lack of things. Also, because they have their own vision of freedom. Can't kill someone trespassing on your property? You're not free! Can't homeschool your kids without any supervision from any authority? You're not free! Can't drive a jacked up 25 tons, rolling coal, armoured pick-up truck? You're not free! And of course, Can't carry a loaded gun with you anywhere you go? You're not free. They apply their own freedom and if they can't do it, then it's not free. And the freedom other have? they don't know about them, or dismiss them as not true freedoms, because only the American freedom is true freedom. It reminds me of a video by an American living in the UK "Yes it's true, in the UK we don't have freedom of speech. We have freedom of expression!" Big difference. Also, the bureaucracy thing may have been true before, but from what I hear from American friends, it's no longer true. And even if it may be more simple, for some jobs or fields, you have to apply for a State licence and a city licence, then you pay taxes to the city, state and Federal government. Separately. So it's more simple but done 3 times (and OFC each level of administration have their own requirements).

That would never happen in America due to trespass laws. even more kids would be killed whilst walking in the countryside.
