Petition to allow Kinder Eggs in US

[Dbkrantz 16]

Hey guys,

As most of you know, Kinder Eggs are not allowed in the US, because they are worried that the kid could die with the little toy inside.

What kills children is guns, not toys!

Please sign this petition in order to legalise the eggs:

First: it's really good and second, it brings great joy to a lot of kids in the world!

Thanks!

Really?

This is what is important to you?

This is what you want the government to spend time and resources on?

[Dbkrantz 16]

Oh PLEASE!

As if allowing kinder eggs would take the government 2 months of discussion!!

There are US-approved Kinder Eggs now. They are different than normal but similar. A random website isn't going to change a long-standing US law that food should only have food in it, not anything else.

True.

I am glad to know about US approved Kinder Eggs, that's really good to know.

Not that it matters but I've had kinder eggs every year on Easter so I would miss that!

I think a carefully planned vacation each year will fulfill yer Kinder Egg bacchanalia.

It's stupid to have banned kinder eggs, but people kill people, not guns. Also, swimming pools have a higher mortality rate for kids than guns do.

[Kristy 8]

In 1997 alone (the last year for which data are available), 742 children under the age of 10 drowned in the United States last year alone. Approximately 550 of those drownings — about 75 percent of the total — occurred in residential swimming pools. According to the most recent statistics, there are about six million residential pools, meaning that one young child drowns annually for every 11,000 pools.

About 175 children under the age of 10 died in 1998 as a result of guns. About two-thirds of those deaths were homicides. There are an estimated 200 million guns in the United States. Doing the math, there is roughly one child killed by guns for every one million guns.

Kinder egg toys aren't as good as they used to be, anyway.

[littlej 23]

are they not allowed to be taken into the States, or they just aren't allowed to be sold??

AR15s that have been used in a lot of mass shootings are legal yet kinder eggs are not? that's mental!

[Dbkrantz 16]

It is mental!

Good to know I have one more excuse to go to Canada!!!
