I'm from the government and I want to help you!
Not all eggs are created equal in the eyes of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Kinder Eggs, a popular European chocolate egg that contains a toy inside, is banned from importation into the United States because it contains a "non-nutritive object embedded in it." With the Easter holiday around the corner, the agency issued the reminder this week, warning that the candy is considered unsafe for children under 3. Last year, Customs and Border Protection seized 25,000 of them in 1,700 incidents. The hollow egg, which is sold by the Italian confectioner Ferrero, is available in Europe, Canada, Australia and parts of Latin America under various names including Kinder Surprise and Kinder Sorpresa. It has taken on a cult status among adults who collect the toys, which vary from rings to animals and cartoon characters. Kinder Eggs' scarcity in the United States has made them an object of desi Various websites and online forums are dedicated to acquiring them. Some are apparently hiding in plain sight. Earlier this week, DNAinfo.com, a New York City neighborhood guide, posted a story and slideshow showing stores where the coveted treats can be found. "While there are some commercial-sized seizures that occur, most Kinder Eggs are seized in personal baggage or at mail and express consignment facilities," Customs and Border Protection said. A Canadian woman reportedly learned her lesson the hard way. The woman was selected for a random search at a border checkpoint in Minnesota when officials discovered she was carrying a Kinder Egg and took it from her, The Toronto Star reported. A few weeks later, she received a 7-page letter asking if she wanted the egg back or if she was going to abandon rights to it, the Star reported. "I was in disbelief," she told the newspaper. "It's a $2 egg." |

Oh brother, in case you are not aware the people of Wisconsin elected the Governor and legislature then they legally passed the laws. If Wisconsin voters don't like the law they can elect a new government and have the law repealed and/or changed. |

I think he's referring more to the governor of Michigan, who has decided that he can disenfranchise entire cities and give city property to developers. Eminent Domain gone totally mad. Didn't a Liberal Supreme Court say a while back that it was OK to do that? Seems as though it dealt with a case up in the NE regarding eminent domain. Liberal Supreme Court? What you been smoking Steve? |

Kinder Eggs, a popular European chocolate egg that contains a toy inside, is banned from importation into the United States because it contains a "non-nutritive object embedded in it." So we are teaching our children at a very young age to not be responsible for themselves. they no longer have to worry that something they might ingest could harm them. /they can blindfold themselves as toddlers, go out into the world and stuff anything in their mouths that they can grasp in their little hands. the US Department of Agriculture (or whoever) will make sure they can't poison themselves. And so it goes. When they are adults, they will, thinkj the same way. The good liberals will take care of them. Their government will save for their retirement, choose their educations, jobs, places to live, clother to wear, cars to drive, food to eat, health care plans and everything else. So all they will have to do is follow the simple instructions, and live in whatever padded cell the government chooses for them. And, the best part is that they will call it freedom! |
