Safety question ?

[gwynne]

So the USDA can afford to outfit him in regulation pants and hat, but no shirt?

Only we can prevent shirtless bears. Shall we take up a collection?

I always thought the choking hazard was the toy inside, not the yellow egg. Huh, learn something every day. Now, back to driving. Where am I going, by the way? All I know is Texas, so far..

Better not start the grill yet. She's dropping that hockey player off in Buffalo on the way. And you never know what can happen in Western New York.

And, I'll say it again. Please don't involve my moose in any of those crazy shenanigans. I hope to receive an honorable moose so I can make some honorable moose burgers.

My wife apparently doesn't mind the "shirtless" variety.

The pain is real...

Those eggs are popular.

I'm not the OP, but most threads move in an organic way. This one was taken over by some when they decided to mock and berate the OP because they thought she was A) making up her question or B) being in some way "insensitive" to the BLM or should I say "overly" sensitive to the unrest in our world.

I have zero issues with threads moving along, but this was taken over in a most nonsensical way to shut it down. Whatever. I just don't like people shouting others down. It's rude, especially by people who claim to want all voices heard equally.

She was heard! I don't think anyone shouted OP down. We inquired and tried to gain perspective. Things didn't seem to add up, so more questions were asked. (Some of which she has yet to answer.)

Yes, it went silly with the Canadian truck bringing goods to us, but that was sort of created after kimblebee was rebuffed by OP as if her opinion didn't count because she wasn't a US citizen. If you ask me, that was rude.

I think the regulation is that something inedible can't be completely encased in something edible. They're getting around that by having that plastic edge along the circumference of the egg.

Even with a largish plastic capsule around the toy, the capsule is completely encased by the candy.

Might not be a popular viewpoint in certain neighborhoods of San Francisco. I won't elaborate further.

So the minute we coat a fruitcake in chocolate, it becomes illegal???

 

[Malibustyle23]

The last time I found a surprise in my chocolate was a bad day indeed.

Corn?!

I was really hoping for an answer to this one.

Yeah me too but obviously since that has been obviously avoided it ain't happening.

Oh well maybe ill just make up my own answers and places and people. I have a good imagination.

I didn't take the thread off track on purpose, but thank you

But a fruitcake is technically edible even if it's not practically so.

I mean - a lollypop can have a stick inside a piece of candy, but it's not completely covered. A Ring Pop has a piece of plastic, but that's not surrounded by the candy. That being said, I was told that a large bank stopped handing out lollypops after a kid choked on the stick.

It happened organically. I don't even remember how but it did.

This thread has twisted in so many directions no one is to blame.

No it didn't, if you go back and look, you'll see what happened. But whatever. At least the mocking stopped, so I'm happy.

I'm sad to realize that America is really that stupid. I promise you fda if there is something inedible in my chocolate I won't eat it!

Curse you Canada! Why are you guys to smart!? So when things just crunch and don't continue to be chewy we really have to stop and take them out of our mouths?!

How come we haven't outlawed avocados and peaches? Those pits are inedible choking hazards completely encased in something edible.

Omg!!! We aren't supposed to eat the pits!???!! Oops!


Tbh, I'd probably never let my kids eat the kindereggs.
1. I'm a horribly mean and cheap mom.
2. It doesn't sound that hygienic to me to eat something that has a toy inside anyways. Is the toy as clean as the candy should be?
3. They'd make a mess with the candy melting all over the toy and then that'd irritate me and probably bring ants. And no one wants ants in their pants.

This is all assuming the toy is just in the candy and not wrapped.

I can't wade through all 32 pages of this. I've read a few pages and my recommendation is that the OP quit while she's....(well, I was going to say "ahead" but it's a bit late for that).

Hasn't fruitcake been declared a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations? I know you can beat someone to death with one and still have enough left to serve at their funeral dinner.
