    ChatGPT is allowed, but chocolate eggs with toys inside are supposed to be too dangerous? 🤔

      I am literally just making this up on the spot and have no evidence for it, but I’m starting to wonder if maybe the real reason for the kinder egg ban was anticompetitive lobbying by Hershey or something like that, and the toy thing was just the excuse.

        It wasnt the “toy thing” theres a law about putting inedible choking hazards in food. The food drug and cosmetic act of 1938. It bans putting any toy or inedible object in candy unless it is a functional part of the food. So the capsule in the kinder egg isnt ok but the wooden stick in a popsicle, the stick of a lollypop or the ring of a ring pop is.

      In all fairness, the guy was a fuckin’ idiot before Jippity tested a latent murder-sim theory it’s been puzzling over.
