Oh man. @mcewen3 Where does one get Kinder advent calendars? I am very picky about my chocolate, but I’ve always loved Kinder.
Also, I’m definitely more of a cat person, but I have no desire to own a pet. Kids are enough work and expensive enough on their own. I am not a fan of dogs at all. Their smell alone just makes me gag. And the thought of being slobbered over is just ick.
@jarethinafrock I saw them everywhere this year. DH just picked them up at Walmart. HOWEVER, we live in Canada. Day 24 had a Kinder Surprise egg, so maybe they weren’t available in the U.S. Aren’t Kinder Surprises banned down there?
@mcewen3 I think the kinder eggs that they have everywhere else are banned but I think they make a specific one for us markets (at least I've been seeing them sold around in stores). That may make the advent calendar unsellable here.
@mcewen3 ah, that probably explains why i haven’t seen any... yeah, in the US, they have this poor excuse for a kinder egg called Kinder Joy. It’s so messy and just not as good as the regular egg.
America: kids might choke on toys, Kinder Eggs banned. Also America: kids die during school shootings but guns don't kill people, people kill people, so guns are fine.
Sorry not sorry for getting political. It IS UO after all 🤷

This meme flies around my FB all the time, particularly after a shooting and always makes me shake my head. I was honestly beyond shocked when I found out that Kinder Eggs were banned in the U.S. Especially since Canada typically has much more stringent standards when it comes to baby/kid stuff (like, baby walkers are banned here, different bassinet type things are not available because they don’t meet Cdn safe sleep standards, etc etc) but I can’t say I’ve ever heard of a choking incident with a Kinder Egg, and if it did happen ppl probably wouldn’t make a big deal out of it because it was likely user error. Like, don’t give a Kinder Egg to a baby. They’re for 3+ (I think) for a reason. Just like LEGO and other small toys that are readily available everywhere.
Which by the way is a fantastic group for those looking to advocate for stronger gun laws! I’m part of my state and local group and we write letters and emails to elected officials. Full disclosure: gun violence prevention is one of the issues that I work on professionally so I’m extremely passionate about it.
