I had to look up what a kinder surprise egg was. Apparently they are available in the US now, but before they were approved it was a $2500 fine for smuggling those into the US.
I don't think they fine drug smugglers that much.
I don't think it is the original Kinder. I believe it's Kinder Joy which they said it's safer. Is it the one with chocolate-covered wafer?
I still think you will be fined $2500 for an original Kinder. π
But they don't make them like they used too. Even the chocolate tastes different. The giant Ferrero screwed the recipe.
@smawkward @szuri Whaaaat? ππ΅ $2500 fine for a "chocolate" egg that costs $0.90? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
I'm not sure which one I had...
from what I read it seems as though customs gave out a lot of warnings. The $2500 fine was probably just to discourage people doing it on purpose.
I am not sure if it was the one with a waffer or not. Like everything else, Ferrero was probably just wanting to cut cost.
