Beware Easter will be hear sooner than you think!

You can buy kinder surprise eggs in the US. Just find an ethnic German or Eastern European (Polish, Ukrainian, Russian) store. We bought them in many different states.

The flexible dieting Easter Bunny came early...

Oh wow! If that were in my kitchen I'd have gone in to find my kids with chocolate all round their mouths!

On the banning of kinder surprise discussion: they were banned after multiple children died from choking. Unfortunately, the company was blamed instead of parents not watching their children.

That's ridiculous. Children can choke on all sorts of things. My 10 month old puts everything in her mouth. Should Lego be banned? What about coins?

Banning kinder surprise to me seems really demeaning to the parents and children.

Are they not labeled as 3 years and older or something like that?

Kinder surprise should be like a life lesson, don't put entire eggs in your mouth at once, you are not a swan.

How do kids survive to adult hood if they can't handle a kinder surprise? Do they have a personal crossing guard that follows them around so they don't have to look both ways before crossing a street?

I generally don't like to criticize other parents because we all mess up on various things, and it feels really bad to be criticized as a parent...but...it should also be common sense for a parent NOT to give a combined candy-and-choky-toy to a toddler, say "have at it" and then walk away and let the kid figure it all out.

For older kids, you can SAY to them, "Eat ONLY the candy" and they'll get it.

So...I don't know. I am just scratching my head over this. I'm not downplaying any tragedy that may have occurred, because there's no snark-worthy child-related tragedy, IMO, but...come on.

The toys come in a little plastic thing which kids can't open anyway. Hell, I struggle to open them sometimes!

How can easter 'hear' if I may ask?
