Just a clarification for those who didn't watch until the end, Kinder Joys (which are packaged very similar to Kinder Surprises, but are a different product) are perfectly legal in the U.S. as noted in the video; it's Kinder Surprises that are not. We've gotten a lot of emails from people noting they have Kinder Surprises at their stores in the U.S. including sending pictures, but the pictures are all of Kinder Joys. :-) If you watch to the end, Simon shows the difference between the two. :-) Again, if you're seeing Kinder Surprises on the shelves of some store in the U.S. for sale, they were smuggled into the country. That's not to say anyone seems to care once you get them past customs, but they're still illegal. :-)
+Dingier WeEvil44: The company is going to start selling the Kinder Joys all over the U.S. starting in 2018 in a major push. Currently there are places in the U.S. where you can get the Kinder Joys already though. Just not yet "everywhere" like M&Ms or the like.
@@isabella-lp3nw kinder eggs are harmless, in order to eat the toy it has inside you either should somehow put the whole egg in your mouse and eat it without noticing the plastic or be a baby, eat the chocolate and then eat the toy pieces, in which case its your parent's fault for giving you it.
When I was in Austria, I bought 10 kinder eggs that I planned on bringing back with me Then I started reading about how they were illegal Got scared So I ate all of the eggs that night
@@Kyuketsuxi No, it's illegal to bring them in. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder_Surprise#United_States It's silly really, they act like you're importing poison to kill kids with.
No joke, the understanding we have here in Europe over the ban is that american kids are "greedy and stupid", and they would bite the egg whole without realizing there's something inside and choke on the plastic capsule, not even the smaller parts of the toy. Not a good look for America is what I'm saying. This was the first video I saw explaining the actual reasoning and dispelling the myth, so I can only assume it is still alive and well among my peers.
Simon eats the Kinder egg the same way I do, and my brother, and my nephew, and... So, it is not blasphemy! Although, I am regularly called a witch, soo.... nevermind. Nothing to see here. (BTW, Kinder Joys are very yummy.)
What you have to realize is that it's never a shitty parent's fault. They sue, they win. Think of the children, after all. Why do you think cups of hot coffee say "WARNING HOT CONTENTS" these days. Dumb people always win.
I don't think you can "Win" when your child has lost its life, however there is a warning saying that the egg is not suitable for children 0-3 at least now not sure if it has always been the case though. Tragic that if these warnings were ignored though,
Well, the hot coffee case was due to negligence on McDonald's part. (The coffee was hot enough to fuse the elderly woman's genitals shut, which is too hot to serve/drink safely and that was the real problem.) They added the "Hot contents" so it looked like the person suing was being ridiculous.
Out lawed the elixir that killed a handful of children in 1937, yet the government had no problem allowing the manufacturing and sale of highly flammable sleepwear for the next 40 years for infants and children to wear. Go figure.

What happened when my mom tried to smuggle kinder eggs in: (story told to me by my mom) As we were going through the security line at the airport, they searched our bag and found the kinder eggs. They didn’t fine us, no no, but instead crushed each individual egg and threw it in the trash right in front of my 4yo eyes... I cried...
Actually I believe India was one of the country where this alternate kinder surprise was sold and having eaten a lot of them, I want to say No the spoon is pretty big though. Atleast here in India 😂
Fun fact: here in Germany the Kinder surprise eggs go on „summer vacation“ there’s a whole advertisement thing about it... that is because the egg shell is too thin so it would melt while transported or while sitting in the supermarket so they don’t sell them here during the summer
In Italy we have a commercial saying exactly the same thing about Ferrero Rochers (don't know if you have them in Germany). It's funny to see that it is a common practice for Ferrero to do these commercials, very kind of them.
In Poland they are replaced by something called kinder joy during summer. It’s a cream similar to nutella with two rocher-like balls sticked in it. It is packaged into a plastic egg split into two halves - one has the cream, other the toy, and there’s a plastic spoon in the middle for eating the cream.
What I don't understand is I can buy a Yowie Chocolate which is a little plastic animal INSIDE a chocolate shell from my local Walmart, but I can't buy Kinder Eggs? In my Professional Opinion as a Human, they are the same things!

This whole disgusting country is just one giant circle jerk full of mouth breathers that stand around patting themselves on the back for accomplishing next to nothing. Highly stupid citizens that can not ever be convinced that they are wrong because they're too stupid to know how stupid they are, and too arrogant to allow the notion of their own stupidity to enter their feeble little minds.

mike ikr?! I would be so excited that they were going to let me eat the chocolate instead of throw it away, lol! Especially if I knew they were just trying to make me suffer.. I would sit there and enjoy each chocolate egg slowly, lol. 😂
Those eggs are so engraved in my childhood I can't imagine growing up without them. Like I even remember the inflation rates based on how much they used to cost.
The re-design of the capsule for the toy is due to safety issue. When I was a kid, you could fill it up with water and some baking soda. Shake it, then duck and cover. The design back then did not let any gas out and thus, after a while the capsule would "explode". A loud BANG and the top would fly away. Now, there is some small hole and a hinge that prevent it. Sad. It was innocent fun. :)
prisoner 1: so what you in for? I'm a serial killer serving life for 14 counts of rape, murder and necrophilia prisoner 2: possession with intent of kinder eggs prisoner 1: woah woah, we have no problem right? We good?
funny thing, i used to work with this lovely little old lady that used to smuggle crates of these across the border... the made a killing doing it too.
The society didnt work with Kinder Surprises either, thats why they got banned. Way too hard to not gift 2 year old swallowable toys or have an eye on your kids ;)
In Canada this is something we laugh about a lot. Imagine living in the "land of the free" but you're not allowed to buy Kinder Surprises. I mean you can carry a handgun to the movies, but *Kinder Surprises* are too dangerous to kids. And before anybody starts trying to defend the guns over the plastic toys, I'm going to let you guess how many accidental shootings happen in the US vs children choking on kinder toys in Canada.
We recognize that citizens have a right to arm and protect themselves against tyrannical threats. A lesson we learned in 1776. Your country still has a queen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Vi Coni First you need to stop basing your view on guns from anecdotal situations like school shootings from the news and look at mass shootings as a statical whole to understand how rare it actual is. Yes there has has been an increase but to place that on guns is obtuse. As gun laws and restrictions tighten mass shootings increase showing that there is another variable responsible for the rise. And second you have no understanding of American culture. If our government was to go tyrannical the amount of military that would obey orders isn’t high. And that’s speaking of conventional units. 90% of SOF is hardcore conservative and would be the first to rebel against a tyrannical government. This includes Green Berets whose primary job is to train a populace to fight against a tyrannical force and become a force multiplier. But let’s speculate that in the end it’s all fruitless and the American people fail to over throw the tyrannical threat. The part of American culture you don’t understand is that we’d rather die with our useless guns in our hands fighting for freedom than to surrender on our knees and live under subjugation like you up north would so gladly do. Give me liberty or give me death!
@@fine5643 It would only be dramatic if it wasn't a common occurrence for countries to turn tyrannical and restrict the rights of the people. Which was the exact reasons why the US was formed. It would be naive to think it couldn't happen again.
@@DanielGarcia-co5iu the US was formed mostly by rich merchants who hated being taxed. Its a country that exist for the rich, the goverment just says that its for the people to pacify the people like you who look at that and then excuse anything the goverment does from then on. Realistically speaking, these past few months has more then shown just how tyrannical the US goverment, and especially its police force is, and to ignore that is willful ignorance.
the closest walmart to me (which is pretty out there because I'm in the sticks) sells chocolate eggs filled with little toys that are EXACTLY like kinder eggs and no one has seemed to notice this yet. found it quote amusing
PYRO GOTHICA Our Walmart does too. We have ones that are embedded in the eggs & ones that are chocolate eggs & tiny toys in capsules packaged next to the chocolate. We got a Peppa Pig toy in the side by side package.
Gum is not banned, you can chew it, you can sell it, you can buy it, BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT SPITTING IT OUT ON THE GROUND... *BLAM* you get pretty much destroyed by the police
There's an old law which says you can't put non-food objects in food, and since that's mostly reasonable noone's changed it. How did you stretch this to eighteen minutes
He told the story giving the history behind WHY the law exists, in detail (that's what this channel does), explains what exactly a Kinder Surprise AND a Kinder JOY are, does the ad placement, and a little bit of building a toy at the end Realistically I'd say max 3/4 minutes of this are fluff, but it is a different style than normal so that's to be expected
Kinder egg toys just aren't the same anymore .You used to get little racing cars etc with maybe 8 pieces to put together and that's 5 minutes of the best fun ever for a 6 year old boy. Now almost all of them are a single 1 piece figurine that's no fun at all. The toy you got in the Kinder Joy that you just looked at and said "it's a piece of metal from a tv show i don't know" and then immediately put down, that's what most of the toys are like in the Kinder Suprise eggs too. As for the choking hazard, I used to put the 2 halves of the plastic container in my mouth and suck on them for hours :D

KX36 Agree! They used to often feature some ingenious little contraptions which were fun to build and play with... Not any more:(
Even though I grew up in the us, I was lucky enough to try kinder eggs when my parents visited Mexico. It’s just so dumb that they’re banned in the us. Some places are now staring to sell them now secretly. The other day I saw a 12 whole pack of kinder eggs at a little Mexican pastry place. It’s just dumb, there’s nothing wrong with the eggs. I’m guessing it’s about the toy in the middle
I’ve never had one, because I’m an American, but if the toy he showed in this is any indication, I doubt I missing out on much. Normally when I buy chocolate candy I don’t also find a piece of cheap plastic trash I need to throw out inside of it. LOL
@@juantlopez3 : The same world where Kinder Surprise is made of good chocolate? Things may have changed in the decades since I ate my last one, but the chocolate then was nothing to write home about. May as well have been eating a plain Milky Way.
I am an American living in China atm, and thanks to this video, i just went downstairs and bought two.... OH MY GOD THESE THINGS TASTE AMAZING!!!!! hahaha and now I know where the security guard keeps getting all of his weird toys in the gate house hahaha
Jason Thompson, there are a number of ways to get around a ban on a website, the fairly popular one is using a vpn, you can use also thor and other methods.
These comments, it's as if no one has ever heard of the three big capitalist cities of China. The Trade Cities of Hong Kong and Macao.. And the most technologically advanced city in China, Shenzhen. Shenzhen ranks 22nd in the 2017 edition of the Global Financial Centres Index. It's literally fucking expensive to live there, not strange seeing as in 37 years it has gone from having 30000 inhabitants to 12 Million. It's literally a Special Economic Zone, aka the place in China that is responsible for China's money, because it's CAPITALISM HO! there. Oh and seeing as 100% of the population is basically people who work in Shenzhen and it is a city built on Tech. You probably have a lot of things at home, which is manufactured in Shenzhen. Phone batteries, phone chargers, micro chips, electronics and more. And if you live in a city such as Shenzhen with millions of tech people, how the hell would it be impossible to have access to internet and VPNs and whatever necessary to surf the web protected from Chinese government.
Seems legit. Although I wouldn’t admit it on the internet. Chances are the CIA has arrested her already. Hopefully they didn’t force her to eat them all. The eggs, I mean.
One odd thing about the American court system is that a person or company can't challenge a law in court unless they have been legitimately affected by that law. This is probably why Nestle chose to release their product in the US despite the FDA's explicit warning: so they would have standing to challenge the law in court.
@TheBoltMaster What I gathered is that it's not so much this item as it is that the law still has a valid purpose and there is no legitimate reason the toy is nessicary for the food to serve it's purpose.
Nestle Magic were rebranded as WonderBalls, a personal childhood favorite treat of mine which was filled with tart candies and a sticker rather than a toy, and this have recently come back after a 12 year disappearance.
I enjoyed the change in scenery. What I believe the real problem in this video is the fact that there is no comedy drum kit sound effects for those rare and amazing puns
I believe the Nestle one you mentioned was later called Wonder Ball shortly before it was discontinued. I remember having a few of those. It was basically a ball of chocolate with stickers and small candy based on cartoons from Disney and Nickelodeon.
they make them again, gallerie makes them instead of nestle now. they've been on shelves the past year or so since the FDA changes a few years ago. the best thing the Obama administration ever did was make Kinder eggs and Wonderballs legal again.
I had these all the time as a kid. My aunt brought them to us from Amsterdam. I knew they were special because we couldn’t get them here in the US, but I didn’t know they were illegal lol! What a world!
I like this format - moving the ad out of the middle is a big bonus, of course. Having it between the main video and the bonus facts is a good way to do it, in my opinion. I remember we 'muricans briefly had something else like those.. (wonderball? maybe?) that was a chocolate shell with smaller hard candies inside. I was little, but I remember them getting recalled pretty quick. I may just be mis-remembering the Nestle thing he talked about. idk. Good video. Favorite channel.
JeezThat'sMessedUpNick You most certainly could come on it. That is the perfect size to be choked on. And if you actually watched the video, there was a girl in France that died from choking on the capstone, plus many other kids choking without dying.
Andrew Delashaw except he showed you in the video thst the capsule is too big to be a choking hazard. By the time you are big enough to swallow it you would definitely know better
Andrew They didn't choke on the capsule. They choked on the toy after it was extracted from the capsule by someone else. The capsule is made tight enough that an underage kid can't open it by himself. You need an adult or at least an older brother/sister to open it and get the toy. As stated in the video this is less harmful than a hot dog or Xmas decorations on a cake. So the only true reason for banning it in the US is protectionism and lobbying by Mars Company. We have the same anti-choking regulations as the US all over Europe and Kinders sell by millions here.
13:34 Agent: "Sorry sir, you can't keep the toys." Him: "Ugh, stupid law! Is there any way I can keep them?" Agent: *Takes a chunk of chocolate and shoves it into his mouth* Him: *Ughghghgablbblblh*
When I was around 3, my family went to Germany. That was the only time I've ever gotten a kinder surprise. Although having them growing up would have been cool, in a way it remains one of my really cool memories of Germany.
When I would come back from Germany on numerous TDYs, I would bring these back with no problem...I didn't know that they were illegal...this is silly...this is also why that when back in the 70s and 80s, toys were often hidden inside of boxed cereals...but today, they are placed inside the box, but outside of the cereal bags...we are living in a nanny state...
Ah yes, Ahmurica, where in some states you can buy a gun in your local supermarket and walk around town with it, But you can’t have chocolate surprise eggs.
Umm... How do you drop a phone on your face? On *its* face, and it breaks, happens... 😡 When a phone is used as self-defense can hit you in the face... 🙋↗ ↘☎😫
Ellesmere Wildwood that's because in the late 1700s there were some rights written on paper and guns were the second to be mentioned. Chocolate eggs with hazardous toys we're not included in that.
Sure, I've heard of that amendment that gives Americans the right to bear arms and I understand that many people feel the need to own a small sidearm. But how does the 'right to bear arms' relate to rifles with telescopic sights all the way up to rapid fire military weapons and beyond ? From an outsider's point of view, when the U.S. is having a tragic mass shooting almost every other week, it seems absurd to ban this product.
Ellesmere Wildwood it's not even just from an outsiders pov I am one of many that doesn't understand it and I'm an American It gets to be quite frustrating Our first amendment right is more restricted than our right to bear arms and it's just freedom of speech Sad days
Give your 5 year old a gun and watch helplessly as they shoot their friend (or anyone else) - *not my fault*. Give them a kinder surprise - go to gaol. 'Murca - go figure.
czdaniel1 it would appear canada is the best of both worlds then. We have kinder eggs and vitamin b6. Never going to do this, but I suppose I could eat a kinder egg whilst chugging an energy drink containing vitamin b6. So lucky.
Back in a day I'm still in Germany, I'm really enjoy these chocolate egg. The toy in the egg that being ban in U.S is better than the one allow in U.S. I used to collect the plane figure so I know that.
Hey Simon, could you do a video explaining how it is that tracking dogs, like the police use don't suffer from olfactory fatigue? You have explained in several videos how humans are particularly adept at ignoring our own smells, and in general all unpleasant smells after only a short time. how is it that these dogs can remain on a scent for so long without going "noseblind" to it? Thanks!
Simple, the idea of going "nose-blind" occurs after smelling the same smell for a very long time, over days, but dogs only smell the thing they are meant to detect every once and a while and are rewarded when they find it so they are encouraged to look for it.
Please do a video on the current craze of LOL Surprise dolls. They are basically physical loot boxes, the marketing material on the boxes shows the kids the common and rare and very rare items they can get in each LOL Surprise container, then the kids keep buying them until they 'win big' and get a rare one. The kids tease others who don't have any rare ones in their collection. Honestly this craze is conditioning children for gambling, and I can't find ANY videos on TH-cam raising concerns about it - though there are lots of webpages raising these concerns. An opportunity for a channel like yours, I think. Cheers
Blind bags are extremely popular with kids. The LOLs are something my daughter and I open together when I get a couple on sale every now and then. They take a little time, and so we see them as entertainment. But my god, the number of blind bags is crazy. If there's a franchise, there's a blind bag for it.
Trust me, it's good to get your kids addicted to stuff like this. For example Magic the Gathering. Because then, they won't have any money left for drugs/booze :D
I had a memory pop up of a candy I used to get as a kid in the US (MN, early 2000s). I remember it was a large chocolate sphere with little toys and other candies inside. My memory may be wrong, I thought there were toys in them. I specifically remember it being Disney. My mom would let us get one at the gas station or grocery store... EDIT: Mentioned at 10:30 wow didn't know they had a plastic casing inside, just thought they were in the chocolate. Must've been banned right after we got them lol
I remember the Nestle Wonder Balls as hollow too. Grew up in the 90s though. The candy was around the figurines but I don't remember the casings either. My sister and I would collect the toys and play with them
Well, the law has it's purpose, and for the most part, it's a pretty good law. The section in question is to keep foreign objects out of food that could pose a choking or digestive hazard that probably wouldn't fall into other categories (like poisonous) that would have prohibited it. But, the law was crafted in 1938, and the world changed a lot since then. I am not sure if/when the last time that law was updated, but now is probably a good time to give it a thorough shakedown.
This reminds me of those chocolate Wonderballs that were everywhere when I was little (~2000-2005), except instead of toys, they had SweetTart-like candies in them shaped like different characters, without any plastic things involved, and there'd also be a sticker or fake tattoo in the box, too. I guess too many parents were buying them for kids three and under, when they had a specific warning on the box *not* to do that, and then suing the company because their kid got hurt or died from choking on the candies.
I agree. I've always preferred this more natural style; I'm not a big fan of green screen. I do, however, find the cuts between the closer and wider angle distracting. I imagine this is done to allow stumbles and stutters to be cut out. Personally I think plain jump cuts, or better yet cuts to images or B-Roll, would work better.
I'm glad I watched this all the way to the end, because I was going to protest that yes we do have them, because they come in two halves and we sell them at my store.
+TheMichigami: No, our info is up to date. What people see on the shelves in the U.S. is Kinder Joy, which is a different product, but looks very similar packaging wise. Simon shows the difference near the end of the video.
no, they are not, the ones i have seen over the past few years are kinder surprise, not joy. Even according to your own video the Joy eggs have not been available to us long enough for them to have been the ones being imported these past few years. i have bought the eggs in the past and they say kinder surprise on them and are indeed kinder surprise eggs. shops have been importing them quite legitimately for the past few years, they are most assuredly the real thing, and are usually found for 4-8 dollars here each depending on the shop because of the import fees. they have not been illegal to import for several years since the updates to the food safety regulations under the obama administration a few years ago, neither is it illegal to make and sell Wonderballs anymore, and they are back on shelves as well here. There are also several knockoffs of the old Magic Balls containing stickers inside a chocolate shell for sale again, and imitation kinder eggs made in china that also are a chocolate shell with a plastic egg containing a toy in them being sold. The rules were changed and clarified and they have NOT been illegal for several years, you need to research the american food safety codes better.
Yeah man if we protect the right to bear eggs then we'd have to start respecting women's reproductive rights and we CANNOT have that, can we? USA! USA! USA! USA!
They could teach children not to eat toys - but that would stray into "taking personal responsibility" territory and cripple the US legal system as a result.
Chrome Dog Kids are heavily curious and just telling kids not to do it might not always work as their curiosity could get the better of them . Also, babies and toddlers exist (who are the ones that will choke on small things.)
+ Famous Horse The rest of the world's kids seem smart enough not to die this way, but I guess American kids are on an entirely lower level of intelligence ;)
Kinder egg chocolate is like no other kind of chocolate. I don't even know how to explain it, but it tastes like heaven. The kinder snack bars are literally chocolate bars made out of this heavenly substance, they need way more attention.
At Disneyland in Hong Kong, a piece of a stroller fell off and went unnoticed by the father and young son. I retrieved it and gave chase to return it. They came back to where i was and the boy,seemingly of his own accord, gave me a kinder cookie.. it was individually pair wrapped and i believe it was a hippo and the bottom was coated in chocolate.. it was the best, i looked for them for the rest of my stay in hk, but to no avail. Thank you young man, that may have been the best cookie of my life.

Must have been a great night.
Is nobody talking about how he just bit into the whole Kinder egg without splitting it first?
Sin! Blasphemy! Burn the witch!
No joke, the understanding we have here in Europe over the ban is that american kids are "greedy and stupid", and they would bite the egg whole without realizing there's something inside and choke on the plastic capsule, not even the smaller parts of the toy. Not a good look for America is what I'm saying.
This was the first video I saw explaining the actual reasoning and dispelling the myth, so I can only assume it is still alive and well among my peers.
Simon eats the Kinder egg the same way I do, and my brother, and my nephew, and... So, it is not blasphemy! Although, I am regularly called a witch, soo.... nevermind. Nothing to see here.
(BTW, Kinder Joys are very yummy.)
Professor Chaos....somebody’s a tad bit angry
Exactly. The egg needs to be split first
Faolair I prefer to split in half then break it into tiny pieces.
The two stories that he said were killed by the toy, they were 3 yrs old. Dunno about you but it does say to not give to 3 yr olds
Indeed! Thats just bad parenting...but i guess its so easy: give your kid an egg and you have some minutes for yourself.
What you have to realize is that it's never a shitty parent's fault. They sue, they win. Think of the children, after all. Why do you think cups of hot coffee say "WARNING HOT CONTENTS" these days. Dumb people always win.
I don't think you can "Win" when your child has lost its life, however there is a warning saying that the egg is not suitable for children 0-3 at least now not sure if it has always been the case though. Tragic that if these warnings were ignored though,
Well, the hot coffee case was due to negligence on McDonald's part. (The coffee was hot enough to fuse the elderly woman's genitals shut, which is too hot to serve/drink safely and that was the real problem.) They added the "Hot contents" so it looked like the person suing was being ridiculous.
Yeah, and she wasn't even the only victim. She didn't even want a lot of money, just enough to cover her medical bill.
Proof that “think of the children” is really just a political phrase used to get votes, and nobody really gives a damn about kids or safety.

What happened when my mom tried to smuggle kinder eggs in: (story told to me by my mom)
As we were going through the security line at the airport, they searched our bag and found the kinder eggs. They didn’t fine us, no no, but instead crushed each individual egg and threw it in the trash right in front of my 4yo eyes... I cried...
That's horrible!
@@zionistgoddessofstars It was very tragic indeed lol
If that happened to 4 year old me, I would just reach in the trash bucket and eat the remains.

Fun fact: here in Germany the Kinder surprise eggs go on „summer vacation“ there’s a whole advertisement thing about it... that is because the egg shell is too thin so it would melt while transported or while sitting in the supermarket so they don’t sell them here during the summer
Holy shit! Last summer I actually thought they had been discontinued because I couldn't find them anywhere
*laughs in Canadian*
In Italy we have a commercial saying exactly the same thing about Ferrero Rochers (don't know if you have them in Germany). It's funny to see that it is a common practice for Ferrero to do these commercials, very kind of them.
In Poland they are replaced by something called kinder joy during summer. It’s a cream similar to nutella with two rocher-like balls sticked in it. It is packaged into a plastic egg split into two halves - one has the cream, other the toy, and there’s a plastic spoon in the middle for eating the cream.

The re-design of the capsule for the toy is due to safety issue. When I was a kid, you could fill it up with water and some baking soda. Shake it, then duck and cover. The design back then did not let any gas out and thus, after a while the capsule would "explode". A loud BANG and the top would fly away. Now, there is some small hole and a hinge that prevent it. Sad. It was innocent fun. :)

How can the US function as a society without kinder suprises
One day at a time I suppose, one day at time.
we don’t
We don't
two words: off brand.
The society didnt work with Kinder Surprises either, thats why they got banned. Way too hard to not gift 2 year old swallowable toys or have an eye on your kids ;)
In Canada this is something we laugh about a lot. Imagine living in the "land of the free" but you're not allowed to buy Kinder Surprises. I mean you can carry a handgun to the movies, but *Kinder Surprises* are too dangerous to kids.
And before anybody starts trying to defend the guns over the plastic toys, I'm going to let you guess how many accidental shootings happen in the US vs children choking on kinder toys in Canada.
We recognize that citizens have a right to arm and protect themselves against tyrannical threats. A lesson we learned in 1776. Your country still has a queen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Vi Coni First you need to stop basing your view on guns from anecdotal situations like school shootings from the news and look at mass shootings as a statical whole to understand how rare it actual is. Yes there has has been an increase but to place that on guns is obtuse. As gun laws and restrictions tighten mass shootings increase showing that there is another variable responsible for the rise. And second you have no understanding of American culture. If our government was to go tyrannical the amount of military that would obey orders isn’t high. And that’s speaking of conventional units. 90% of SOF is hardcore conservative and would be the first to rebel against a tyrannical government. This includes Green Berets whose primary job is to train a populace to fight against a tyrannical force and become a force multiplier. But let’s speculate that in the end it’s all fruitless and the American people fail to over throw the tyrannical threat. The part of American culture you don’t understand is that we’d rather die with our useless guns in our hands fighting for freedom than to surrender on our knees and live under subjugation like you up north would so gladly do. Give me liberty or give me death!
Daniel Garcia sounds a bit dramatic don’t you think
@@fine5643 It would only be dramatic if it wasn't a common occurrence for countries to turn tyrannical and restrict the rights of the people. Which was the exact reasons why the US was formed. It would be naive to think it couldn't happen again.
@@DanielGarcia-co5iu the US was formed mostly by rich merchants who hated being taxed. Its a country that exist for the rich, the goverment just says that its for the people to pacify the people like you who look at that and then excuse anything the goverment does from then on. Realistically speaking, these past few months has more then shown just how tyrannical the US goverment, and especially its police force is, and to ignore that is willful ignorance.
When I was a kid, I choked on the baseball cards that came with my stick of topps chewing gum.

the closest walmart to me (which is pretty out there because I'm in the sticks) sells chocolate eggs filled with little toys that are EXACTLY like kinder eggs and no one has seemed to notice this yet. found it quote amusing
PYRO GOTHICA Our Walmart does too. We have ones that are embedded in the eggs & ones that are chocolate eggs & tiny toys in capsules packaged next to the chocolate. We got a Peppa Pig toy in the side by side package.

unfunny meme joke
He told the story giving the history behind WHY the law exists, in detail (that's what this channel does), explains what exactly a Kinder Surprise AND a Kinder JOY are, does the ad placement, and a little bit of building a toy at the end
Realistically I'd say max 3/4 minutes of this are fluff, but it is a different style than normal so that's to be expected
So, strippers in birthday cakes are illegal then too?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ both are american things so i dunno
Kinder egg toys just aren't the same anymore .You used to get little racing cars etc with maybe 8 pieces to put together and that's 5 minutes of the best fun ever for a 6 year old boy. Now almost all of them are a single 1 piece figurine that's no fun at all. The toy you got in the Kinder Joy that you just looked at and said "it's a piece of metal from a tv show i don't know" and then immediately put down, that's what most of the toys are like in the Kinder Suprise eggs too.
As for the choking hazard, I used to put the 2 halves of the plastic container in my mouth and suck on them for hours :D
KX36
Agree! They used to often feature some ingenious little contraptions which were fun to build and play with... Not any more:(
You're half right, i remember a lot of good toys as a lad in the 80's, but i also remember getting puzzles.
Even though I grew up in the us, I was lucky enough to try kinder eggs when my parents visited Mexico. It’s just so dumb that they’re banned in the us. Some places are now staring to sell them now secretly. The other day I saw a 12 whole pack of kinder eggs at a little Mexican pastry place. It’s just dumb, there’s nothing wrong with the eggs. I’m guessing it’s about the toy in the middle
I’ve never had one, because I’m an American, but if the toy he showed in this is any indication, I doubt I missing out on much. Normally when I buy chocolate candy I don’t also find a piece of cheap plastic trash I need to throw out inside of it. LOL

The Trade Cities of Hong Kong and Macao..
And the most technologically advanced city in China, Shenzhen.
Shenzhen ranks 22nd in the 2017 edition of the Global Financial Centres Index.
It's literally fucking expensive to live there, not strange seeing as in 37 years it has gone from having 30000 inhabitants to 12 Million.
It's literally a Special Economic Zone, aka the place in China that is responsible for China's money, because it's CAPITALISM HO! there.
Oh and seeing as 100% of the population is basically people who work in Shenzhen and it is a city built on Tech.
You probably have a lot of things at home, which is manufactured in Shenzhen. Phone batteries, phone chargers, micro chips, electronics and more.
And if you live in a city such as Shenzhen with millions of tech people, how the hell would it be impossible to have access to internet and VPNs and whatever necessary to surf the web protected from Chinese government.

One odd thing about the American court system is that a person or company can't challenge a law in court unless they have been legitimately affected by that law. This is probably why Nestle chose to release their product in the US despite the FDA's explicit warning: so they would have standing to challenge the law in court.

I believe the Nestle one you mentioned was later called Wonder Ball shortly before it was discontinued. I remember having a few of those. It was basically a ball of chocolate with stickers and small candy based on cartoons from Disney and Nickelodeon.
they make them again, gallerie makes them instead of nestle now. they've been on shelves the past year or so since the FDA changes a few years ago. the best thing the Obama administration ever did was make Kinder eggs and Wonderballs legal again.
i saw them at walmart but they were filled with another candy
I had these all the time as a kid. My aunt brought them to us from Amsterdam. I knew they were special because we couldn’t get them here in the US, but I didn’t know they were illegal lol! What a world!

Short answer: because the government thought you could choke on the capsules inside (which you can't) but people have protested the law.
JeezThat'sMessedUpNick You most certainly could come on it. That is the perfect size to be choked on. And if you actually watched the video, there was a girl in France that died from choking on the capstone, plus many other kids choking without dying.
Guess American parents are too stupid to take out the capsule egg.
Andrew Delashaw except he showed you in the video thst the capsule is too big to be a choking hazard. By the time you are big enough to swallow it you would definitely know better
Andrew They didn't choke on the capsule. They choked on the toy after it was extracted from the capsule by someone else.
The capsule is made tight enough that an underage kid can't open it by himself. You need an adult or at least an older brother/sister to open it and get the toy.
As stated in the video this is less harmful than a hot dog or Xmas decorations on a cake. So the only true reason for banning it in the US is protectionism and lobbying by Mars Company.
We have the same anti-choking regulations as the US all over Europe and Kinders sell by millions here.
JustWowNick you can choke on the capsule if you’re an idiot

Yep, can buy them here, in South China. Global warming slowly does its thing, affecting even the toy & chocolate market :)
Ah yes, Ahmurica, where in some states you can buy a gun in your local supermarket and walk around town with it,
But you can’t have chocolate surprise eggs.
In their defence, it’s Walmart is the lowest of the low.
At this rate phones should be illegal because it hurts when you drop them on your face ( ͡°~ ͡°)
JayCookies especially with the case on it
It’s even worse when it hits your teeth😂
and then you lose consciousness.
(sleep)
Umm... How do you drop a phone on your face? On *its* face, and it breaks, happens... 😡
When a phone is used as self-defense can hit you in the face...

KickyFut by using it while you're lying on your back (in bed). You've never done that?
They are illegal to prevent the tragedy of a mass chocolate egging. But guns of all shapes and sizes are okay.
Welcome to America's mindset.
Ellesmere Wildwood that's because in the late 1700s there were some rights written on paper and guns were the second to be mentioned. Chocolate eggs with hazardous toys we're not included in that.
Sure, I've heard of that amendment that gives Americans the right to bear arms and I understand that many people feel the need to own a small sidearm. But how does the 'right to bear arms' relate to rifles with telescopic sights all the way up to rapid fire military weapons and beyond ? From an outsider's point of view, when the U.S. is having a tragic mass shooting almost every other week, it seems absurd to ban this product.
Ellesmere Wildwood it's not even just from an outsiders pov
I am one of many that doesn't understand it and I'm an American
It gets to be quite frustrating
Our first amendment right is more restricted than our right to bear arms and it's just freedom of speech
Sad days
Give your 5 year old a gun and watch helplessly as they shoot their friend (or anyone else) - *not my fault*.
Give them a kinder surprise - go to gaol.
'Murca - go figure.
Living in Europe is so nice sometimes... I can have one of these everyday if I so choose... though rarely I do.
yes, but in Europe vitamin B6 is illegal to use as an ingredient. So your energy drinks suck
Yes that's true but who needs energy drinks when you can make strong coffee ?
Ingo Schwartz it's a matter of taste. I love tea, like energy drinks, and don't care for coffee.
czdaniel1 Try Irn-Bru banned everywhere else in the world.
czdaniel1 it would appear canada is the best of both worlds then. We have kinder eggs and vitamin b6. Never going to do this, but I suppose I could eat a kinder egg whilst chugging an energy drink containing vitamin b6. So lucky.
Back in a day I'm still in Germany, I'm really enjoy these chocolate egg. The toy in the egg that being ban in U.S is better than the one allow in U.S. I used to collect the plane figure so I know that.
It's due to the kinder bird going extinct in North America
It was the FDA with their punt guns.
We still have plenty of Cadbury Cream Birds, though.
Hey Simon, could you do a video explaining how it is that tracking dogs, like the police use don't suffer from olfactory fatigue? You have explained in several videos how humans are particularly adept at ignoring our own smells, and in general all unpleasant smells after only a short time. how is it that these dogs can remain on a scent for so long without going "noseblind" to it?
Thanks!
Jare Bear great idea
+
That is a really good question. I've never thought of that before. I would love to see a video of that. Great suggestion!
.
Simple, the idea of going "nose-blind" occurs after smelling the same smell for a very long time, over days, but dogs only smell the thing they are meant to detect every once and a while and are rewarded when they find it so they are encouraged to look for it.
Please do a video on the current craze of LOL Surprise dolls. They are basically physical loot boxes, the marketing material on the boxes shows the kids the common and rare and very rare items they can get in each LOL Surprise container, then the kids keep buying them until they 'win big' and get a rare one. The kids tease others who don't have any rare ones in their collection. Honestly this craze is conditioning children for gambling, and I can't find ANY videos on TH-cam raising concerns about it - though there are lots of webpages raising these concerns. An opportunity for a channel like yours, I think. Cheers
Blind bags are extremely popular with kids. The LOLs are something my daughter and I open together when I get a couple on sale every now and then. They take a little time, and so we see them as entertainment. But my god, the number of blind bags is crazy. If there's a franchise, there's a blind bag for it.
I had to look up what this "LOL Surprise dolls" were holy shit thats a loot box if i ever saw one.
Trust me, it's good to get your kids addicted to stuff like this. For example Magic the Gathering. Because then, they won't have any money left for drugs/booze :D
Good idea!
I had a memory pop up of a candy I used to get as a kid in the US (MN, early 2000s). I remember it was a large chocolate sphere with little toys and other candies inside. My memory may be wrong, I thought there were toys in them. I specifically remember it being Disney. My mom would let us get one at the gas station or grocery store...
EDIT: Mentioned at 10:30 wow didn't know they had a plastic casing inside, just thought they were in the chocolate. Must've been banned right after we got them lol
I remember the Nestle Wonder Balls as hollow too. Grew up in the 90s though. The candy was around the figurines but I don't remember the casings either. My sister and I would collect the toys and play with them
Lucky you, assuming you got it in the short period of time where it was available.
Having grown up in Germany and now living in the US I hate this law.
Well, the law has it's purpose, and for the most part, it's a pretty good law. The section in question is to keep foreign objects out of food that could pose a choking or digestive hazard that probably wouldn't fall into other categories (like poisonous) that would have prohibited it. But, the law was crafted in 1938, and the world changed a lot since then. I am not sure if/when the last time that law was updated, but now is probably a good time to give it a thorough shakedown.
The Law didn't create the law! The Law created the FDA & then gave it authority to create the law. Delegated legislative authority
I lived there as an army brat from 87-89. The toys were better in them. I miss the bakery's and candy shops down the road too. Fresh ginger bread yum.
You can find them in most candy shops.
This reminds me of those chocolate Wonderballs that were everywhere when I was little (~2000-2005), except instead of toys, they had SweetTart-like candies in them shaped like different characters, without any plastic things involved, and there'd also be a sticker or fake tattoo in the box, too. I guess too many parents were buying them for kids three and under, when they had a specific warning on the box *not* to do that, and then suing the company because their kid got hurt or died from choking on the candies.
I used to eat those too! I swear some of them had little plastic figurines in there, or perhaps that was the Nestle item from slightly earlier.
Thay have it at Wal-Mart
Actually when wonderballs first came out, before being redesigned to contain candy, they had toys in them.
I like this better. It seems more like a personal video instead of the company-ish feel of the old style.
I agree. I've always preferred this more natural style; I'm not a big fan of green screen. I do, however, find the cuts between the closer and wider angle distracting. I imagine this is done to allow stumbles and stutters to be cut out. Personally I think plain jump cuts, or better yet cuts to images or B-Roll, would work better.
I agree, more natural surroundings are a nice change.
I disagree. I really like the old style more. I really hope this is a one-episode only thing.
Natural Style: WorkBench no jutsu
I also liked the more personal feel to it, but they need some sound canceling walls. XD the echo is for real
I'm glad I watched this all the way to the end, because I was going to protest that yes we do have them, because they come in two halves and we sell them at my store.
At least 20 people did. We are addicted to sound bites instead of watching whole videos it would seem.
My god my nephew is involved in the black market 😮
Well, I'm sure he appreciates you ratting him out.
they're fully legal to import as of a few years ago, their info is out of date in the video.
...just a few months ago they became legal
+TheMichigami: No, our info is up to date. What people see on the shelves in the U.S. is Kinder Joy, which is a different product, but looks very similar packaging wise. Simon shows the difference near the end of the video.
no, they are not, the ones i have seen over the past few years are kinder surprise, not joy. Even according to your own video the Joy eggs have not been available to us long enough for them to have been the ones being imported these past few years. i have bought the eggs in the past and they say kinder surprise on them and are indeed kinder surprise eggs. shops have been importing them quite legitimately for the past few years, they are most assuredly the real thing, and are usually found for 4-8 dollars here each depending on the shop because of the import fees. they have not been illegal to import for several years since the updates to the food safety regulations under the obama administration a few years ago, neither is it illegal to make and sell Wonderballs anymore, and they are back on shelves as well here. There are also several knockoffs of the old Magic Balls containing stickers inside a chocolate shell for sale again, and imitation kinder eggs made in china that also are a chocolate shell with a plastic egg containing a toy in them being sold. The rules were changed and clarified and they have NOT been illegal for several years, you need to research the american food safety codes better.
They protect the right to bear arms but not the right to bear eggs? Pffffft.
(truknayr23) because kindereggs are danderus dude *cocs gun
Altso please tell me abaut the spellin errors i just made (i really want to get better at english)
Yeah man if we protect the right to bear eggs then we'd have to start respecting women's reproductive rights and we CANNOT have that, can we? USA! USA! USA! USA!
Connor Amlee
Abortion is legal, isn't it?
Ugh, don't you get it? Guns don't kill people, kinder surprise eggs kill people.
For All Americans......
You're missing out
David William ps in America there r world markets
David William pfff I’ll get them from the deep web
WEATHER UPDATE: Kinder Eggs are no longer illegal.
+Owl Gal Edit: Kinder Joy eggs are here, other Kinder Eggs still aren't here yet....crap.
Honestly the idea of a plastic capsule being inside my candy is gross to me.

They could teach children not to eat toys - but that would stray into "taking personal responsibility" territory and cripple the US legal system as a result.
Chrome Dog Kids are heavily curious and just telling kids not to do it might not always work as their curiosity could get the better of them . Also, babies and toddlers exist (who are the ones that will choke on small things.)
+ Famous Horse
The rest of the world's kids seem smart enough not to die this way, but I guess American kids are on an entirely lower level of intelligence ;)
Peace Guard I feel heavily insulted. I will report you to the police.
Oh, please do. Which one, Sharia police?
Peace Guard no, just a guy named, "Police."
15:44 But I wanted to hear some boner facts :(
slop_dosh .....
lmfoooo
lol didnt even catch that
slop_dosh. The only boners you will encounter in the US are our politicians. Lol!!
slop_dosh
Funny thing is that they ARENT illegal in the US. They’ve just changed them. Literally buy them for my kids all the time
Make sure you don't choke on the Kinder Egg toy after you are done with it Simon.
He is probably already dead by now.
I have a bow ....... That can kill people .....
........ I still don't know what a kinder egg tastes like................
It tastes delicious like really nice chocolate
It tastes like chocolate. . . With a toy inside of it.
Bows can’t kill people. However, people can.
Kinder egg chocolate is like no other kind of chocolate.
I don't even know how to explain it, but it tastes like heaven.
The kinder snack bars are literally chocolate bars made out of this heavenly substance,
they need way more attention.
Kinder egg chocolate is the best chocolate on earth I swear. No other chocolate even comes close to it
Content is what matters, not setting. Quality of video & audio count, but background is not a big deal.
+phxbillcee
I've never read or heard anything put so plainly and perfectly as your comment! Edgar Allen Poe couldn't of put it better himself!
Rue Morgue or Scarab??? LOL
it does matter
I find the monitors present in the background distracting.

Then let's get a green screen in the background of a man eating corn on the cob.
At Disneyland in Hong Kong, a piece of a stroller fell off and went unnoticed by the father and young son. I retrieved it and gave chase to return it. They came back to where i was and the boy,seemingly of his own accord, gave me a kinder cookie.. it was individually pair wrapped and i believe it was a hippo and the bottom was coated in chocolate.. it was the best, i looked for them for the rest of my stay in hk, but to no avail. Thank you young man, that may have been the best cookie of my life.
I preferred the clean background. Was less distracting.
So you're easily distracted? You have my pity.
Nothing is happening in the background though what is distracting you?
I just think there are enough "I'm just sitting in front of my Desk casually" TH-camrs, I also think it's easier to listen if there is a monocolour background. maybe for shorter casual videos this setting is nice and relaxed, but for 18 minutes I prefer it clean.
r0bw00d No not at all. No reason to get hostile. I just like the clean look of the old background. Easier to focus on him even if by a small margin.
I wasn't being hostile; I was being honest. If I was being hostile, my words would have been aggressive.
