Kinder Surprise Egg Questions in Ports

[kiapepito]

I know they are illegal in the U.S. but I was hoping to find some in port: Cozumel, Falmouth, Grand Cayman so that my kids can enjoy them while at port during the day since they have become intrigued thanks to the YouTube videos... Does anyone know if they are available close to the ports?

Thank you!

At the risk of sounding "clueless", what IS this?

Kinder eggs?

Sort of a Cadbury sort of chocolate egg with a small toy surprise inside. It's banned in the US because the toy is too small and could be ingested by young children.

We found Kinder eggs at the Mega in Cozumel, which was no more than a 10 min walk from the port. I'm pretty sure (but not positive) that there were eggs in one of the stores in the mall directly across the street from the port as well. My kids love them.

Good to know they are available at Mega. We get these all the time in Europe. DD is obsessed with them. The toy is contained in a very large egg shaped plastic container. I don't know how an adult or child can accidentally swallow it. Another good product banned due to lack of parental supervision. The laundry pods are next...

We have them in Canada. Perhaps you could find a fellow cruiser from here that would be willing to bring some along for you.

The problem would be getting them from Canada into the US to take the cruise.

They will stop you at the U.S. border. My brother had to dispose of a case at customs.

And while they make him get rid of chocolate eggs the guy in the line next to them manages to bring a kilo of Sweet Tooth across the border...

 

[Melissa S]

Probably lol. They made him crush each and every one. He and my daughter were devastated.

In America, we have to protect people from swallowing giant eggs inside of candy that is clearly marked that there is a toy inside because someone might sue the manufacturer, but we feed our children chemicals and genetically modified foods laced with all sorts of poisons and that is completely legal. Its because money talks in our government. Disgusting. Sorry, I went on a rant.

lol i just don't even want to know what the catalyst was for banning them in the first place. my head already hurts today and i have a feeling it will be a V8 moment if i find out
