    Kinder eggs: illegal

      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.

      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.

      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.

You have a far higher standard of living in Europe or Australia. It's a joke that people actually believe living in the US is the greatest country in the world. It's actually laughable. The education system isn't even in the top 20. Every other country in the world has a national healthcare system that makes America's healthcare system laughing stock.

      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.

    It is important to know, that the 7 cases when a child choked on a kinder egg toy were not cases of choking when eating the egg itself, but opening it up and giving a child the toy and then choking on it. Which is just basically standard choking hazard for small objects and not connected to the issue whether the toy is inside the egg or next to it.

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.

    In 2020 and 2021, firearms were involved in the deaths of more children ages 1-17 than any other type of injury or illness, surpassing deaths due to motor vehicles, which had long been the number one factor in child deaths. In 2021, there were 2,571 child deaths due to firearms-a rate of 3.7 deaths per 100,000 children, which is an increase of 68% in the number of deaths since 2000 and 107% since a recent low of 2013.

    Yeah Jaywalking doesn't exists in most European countries, though some are more strict than others. Like it said in the video, there is No jaywalking in Norway, and you are free to cross the roads where ever you want as long its allowed to walk there. What do exists though is any vehicle *must* stop for pedestrians crossing the road at the designated crossings (usually zebra stipes and even Lights. Or some can be marked by just a sign), failure to do so will grant you a hefty fine and sometimes even loss of driving privilege for some time if the violation is really bad.

    The USA is ranked 22nd in the World Freedom and Rights Index. The UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia , Ireland are just some of the countries that are rated higher. Most of those mentioned are in the top 10 of the World Freedom and Rights Index. EDIT- America wasn't always 22nd one time they actually made it up to 16th. Meanwhile in the same time frame Australia went from 4th to 9th . Therefore Australia during lockdowns still had more rights and Freedom than the USA pre pandemic . " America had the highest death toll in the world outstripping all 3rd world countries as well as countries less developed with upto 4 × the population. The second worse result was Brazil who copied the American system. If America's death toll was the same as Australia, per capita , there would be over 800 000 more Americans alive today . Blindly following podcasters and conspiracy theorists led to a death toll in America only surpassed by the civil war . If Freedom was an Olympic event Australia would usually make the finals , America would enter the Paralympics and maybe get a medal .

      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.

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…

    The Kinder egg issue is dependent on the interpretation of the word "embedded" which I am sure has been argued in the US courts. In my own humble opinion embedded means forming part of the structure and not separate from it, whereas the toy in Kinder eggs is in a separate plastic container.
    This law would also make illegal the British tradition of hiding a coin in a Christmas pudding. Finding the coin in your slice of the pudding is regarded as lucky, not a choking hazard! Before they were withdrawn from circulation, the con used was a silver sixpence, 19.41 mm in diameter (just over 3/4 inch) and 0.5mm thick (about 1/50th inch)

      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)

    In the Netherlands you used to have to take the zebra if you were within 40 meters. But nobody cared of course, we're not Germans. This came together with changes in the liabitlity laws, both civil and criminal, to protect vulnerable traffic users. That basically results in the difference that a car or bicycle has to stop when someone is about to cross the zebra, but without a zebra the car driver has to avoid accidents or danger. So pedestrians forcing a car to stop on purpose crossing the street without using a zebra hardly ever happens. It happens but by accident, not paying attention.

    Here in Portugal it's only legal to cross a street outside of the designated crossing places as long as the spot where the pedestrian is crossing is more than 50m away from the nearest crosswalk but it's their duty to make sure they can cross safely. In this case drivers don't have to yield to them, only in the designated crossing places. However, this is not considered jaywalking, the concept of jaywalking only applies to pedestrians who cross the street less than 50m away from the nearest crossing place. This rule, however, is kind of dumb because it doesn't take into account that no pedestrian can eyeball accurate distances. Are they supposed to carry a 50m measuring tape with them to make sure they're not jaywalking? 😆

      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.

    This maggot cheese is always shown in that context - but I guess 99% of people in Europe have never seen any, let alone eaten it. But there are a number of raw milk cheeses that are much less questionable that get sold here, and there are no waves of people falling ill from it. I guess a fair part of the restictive import laws in the US origins simply in eliminating competition from abroad.
    On the other hand, those "lawn darts" are really not a toy for children. The ancient Romans had a weapon that was very similar: a big dart with a lead weight, which they would throw in large numbers at formations of enemy soldiers. Similar to how arrows were used, to create confusion and fear among the enemy. I really wonder who had the brilliant idea that such darts would make a great toy.

      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!

    Cigarettes in Hungary are sold in uniform colour boxes, the manufacturers can't put any logos, or images on them, they are sold in brown boxes, the brand and the type are printed on the box with generic white letters, so you can't tell the brands apart only if you read the label. All flavoured cigarettes are banned, including menthol, and disposable vapes are also banned. The only images on the box are very graphic images of the damage that cigarettes can cause for example lung cancer surgery, or cut open throats of people who died because of smoking, but all these preventive measures can't stop people from smoking, and smoking is still a very common and accepted thing here.

    About the differences between food & related stuff, it all comes down to how the US allows companies to favors mass production & profits over anything, where most of the rest of the world is at the point where they realize what you really want is sustainability (& stuff you can ask a premium price for (so can afford to produce less off))
    Very easy example is pesticides for crops & chemicals given to farm animals, you can use those to get bigger yields etc, but you lose quality/add hazards to human health & this can be taken to a point where the product is "amazing" from a business perspective, but "unsafe to consume".
    In the US you're much more allowed to grow/farm/etc something unsafe _as long as you then turn it into something that meets the requirements_ but in most of the world (and definitely the EU) you are (95% of the time) not allowed to grow/farm/etc something unsafe in the first place, meanwhile the very definition of safe/unsafe is much stricter during production so in the end you have a safer product that has lower shelf life and/or yield but simply needs less safety measures tacked onto it.
    So we end up with weird disagreements about meat and cheese and bread etc, because we don't want a bunch of weird chemicals in the end product and you don't understand why we don't use chemicals as safety measures like you do 🤷‍♂

    Penn DOT does not specifically call out jaywalking. A matter of fact it states something to the fact that pedestrians can cross a road where ever they want. It does call out requirements for both pedestrians and motorists to follow traffic devices when at a crossing with said devices, and also calls out drivers are responsible to yield pedestrians in crosswalks. The reverse is true when a pedestrian crosses where there is no crosswalk, and they have to yield to motorists. I always look at it that the pedestrian has to use common sense, as they will be the one who loses the battle in a vehicle-on-person collision.

    Correct me if I'm wrong: I understand that when Americans say their country is freer than others they don't mean "freedom!" as the rest of the world understands it. They mean that it is easier to do business and open a business there (they are right about this, they have on average less bureaucracy than a European country). In this sense, China has also become more "free".
    We Europeans, by "freedom" instead, mean civil rights, representativeness, public health, etc.

      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).
