RE: A Story from the 90's

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.

Sort:  

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. 😂

But they don't make them like they used too. Even the chocolate tastes different. The giant Ferrero screwed the recipe.

@smawkward @szuri Whaaaat? 🙄😵 $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.
