Isn’t that the Canadian version, avec l’emballage bilingue?!
We have multi-lingual packaging here too. Where I’m from it’s usually quadrilingual, but it could have more or fewer.
That just means Canadians are better than Americans too then.
😮
A joke, building on OP. No human is inherently better or worse than another.
There are US states who’d do well to become Canada’s 11th province.
4th territory
And they can fuck off. America is completely incompatible with Canadian values. The Democratic party is so far right leaning that they’re almost a 1:1 to the Canadian Conservative party. Combine that with the demographics and Canada would immediately be thrown into a rightwing spiral.
No thanks. If they want to join Canada they can emmigrate like anyone else.

But Kinder chocolate sucks. It’s not even better than Hershey’s.
Kinder chocolate isn’t good, but Hershey’s is straight trash
You are entitled to your opinion. I even am known to enjoy Hershey’s from time to time. However I don’t always want noticeable levels of Butyric acid in my chocolate.

Loved these as a kid. They’re the same in Canada
Came here to say the same thing. My kids love them into their teens. Proud Canadian who can have toys in our food, without fear of accidentally eating the toys.
Wow cool, shitty chocolate with a cheap piece of plastic inside.
in europe the kinder chocolate is much higher quality than in the us
The chocolate is good
What’s the difference between the European version and the us version
The European version has the toy directly inside the chocolate egg, like you see in the photo.
The US version has the egg split in two inside. Both sides are plastic shells. One side has the toy, and the other side has a weird creme that you scoop out with an included plastic spoon.
Europe (at least Germany, primarily in Summer) has that very same kinder joy though?
In the US though you’re not allowed to include toys inside the chocolate because “choking risk.” We all think it’s dumb too but honestly it just seems like we constantly have more important shit to care about, we’re not taking to the streets for some chocolate eggs.
Turns out you’re wrong, as is so frequently the case with “common knowledge.”
The regulation that prevents it is one that precludes inedible material being added to food, aimed at the addition of sawdust or as a tool to smack down companies literally adding gravel dust into food in the Depression.
Of course, now they just call the sawdust cellulose-based fiber addictive.
One might wonder why, exactly, it is so suspiciously many Americans have such misconceptions about food and product safety regulations.
This product is banned for sale in the United States because the toy surprise hidden inside can pose choking and aspiration hazards to children younger than 3 years of age
https://legalclarity.org/kinder-eggs-banned-in-the-u-s-laws-and-import-penalties/
The main concern for safety officials is the risk of choking for young children. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that objects embedded in confectionery can pose a public health risk because a child might unknowingly swallow the item while eating the chocolate. Under the FD&C Act, it is illegal to introduce such adulterated food products into interstate commerce, which prevents them from being sold or distributed within the United States.
So “yes” but also “choking hazard” and “I really don’t care that much, they’re just chocolate eggs.”
The US version has the egg split in two inside.
We have that version too
We also have the split version in Europe
There was a place down the street selling these and we bought a few. We felt naughty.
True! I used to buy these every time! The gifts inside where insane for the time.
Wait
Americans don’t have those ?
The true reason
