Do they sell Kinder Surprise Eggs in the United States yet or are they still forbidden?

In case they are still banned, they are small milk/white chocolate eggs that have a plastic cylinder inside. Inside the cylinder is a surprise, usually a small toy or something.

I haven't exactly gone and looked for a while but I *think* they lifted the ban on them. Which was loving stupid; pay attention to your drat child and maybe them hamfisting the whole thing into their face won't be an issue in the first place.

Instead of the chocolate egg, we get some white goop with a couple of crunchy bits. The prizes are still better than anything from the USA, though (says the old guy who remembers when Cracker Jack actually had cool prizes).

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

Some fun fenugreek facts.

quote:

Dietary supplement

Fenugreek dietary supplements are manufactured from powdered seeds into capsules, loose powders, teas, and liquid extracts in many countries.[4][5] Powders may also be used as a topical medication or dressing for skin wounds or eczema.[4] There is no high-quality evidence that these products have any clinical effectiveness.[4][5]

quote:

Research

Constituents of fenugreek seeds include flavonoids, alkaloids, coumarins, vitamins, and saponins; the most prevalent alkaloid is trigonelline and coumarins include cinnamic acid and scopoletin.[3] Research into whether fenugreek reduces biomarkers in people with diabetes and with pre-diabetic conditions is of limited quality.[22]

As of 2020, there was no high-quality evidence for whether fenugreek is safe and effective to relieve dysmenorrhea[4][23] or improve lactation during breastfeeding.[24] Studies of fenugreek are characterized as having variable, poor experimental design and quality, including small numbers of subjects, failure to describe methods, inconsistency and duration of dosing, and non-recording of adverse effects.[23][24]

Because research on potential biological effects of consuming fenugreek has provided no high-quality evidence for health or anti-disease effect, fenugreek is not approved or recommended for clinical use by the United States Food and Drug Administration.[4][5]

quote:

Adverse effects and allergies

Use of fenugreek has potential for serious adverse effects, as it may be unsafe for women with hormone-sensitive cancers.[4][5] Fenugreek is not safe for use during pregnancy, as it has possible abortifacient effects and may induce preterm uterine contractions.[3][4]

Some people are allergic to fenugreek, including those with peanut allergy or chickpea allergy.[3][4] Fenugreek seeds can cause diarrhea, dyspepsia, abdominal distention, flatulence, perspiration, and a maple-like smell to sweat, urine or breast milk.[3][4][5] There is a risk of hypoglycemia particularly in people with diabetes, and it may interfere with the activity of anti-diabetic drugs.[3][4] Because of the high content of coumarin-like compounds in fenugreek, it may interfere with the activity and dosing of anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs.[3][4]

Fenugreek sprouts, cultivated from a single specific batch of seeds imported from Egypt into Germany in 2009, were implicated as the source of the 2011 outbreak of Escherichia coli O104:H4 in Germany and France.[25] Identification of a common producer and a single batch of fenugreek seeds was evidence for the origin of the outbreaks.[26]

Kinder Surprise is still banned in America, but they do allow the lame Kinder Joy instead.

They never got banned in Canada, I can tell you that much. As far as our horrifically devalued currency goes though if you want a sweet that's a hybrid of milk and white chocolate, you want he Kinder Bueno instead. You get a nice wafery crunch in there as well.

Kinder Surprise, the ones where the toy is inside the chocolate, are still banned. Kinder Joy is a different egg-shaped chocolate that's not unique to the US.

For the hate reading for Mark Trail this week, it could be that she's assuming that "retreat" implies that the location is remote. Even with road access it's not always easy to get an ambulance into remote locations, which is a mistake that gets a lot of people into trouble. Maybe the billionaire could call a medivac helicopter.

You better sit down, because apart from the one the others mentioned, the Thimble Theater storyline that introduced Popeye was about Castor setting his mind on using the good luck Wiffle Bird to break the bank at the gamblers' haven of Dice Island. But before they let him sit at the big tables, he built up his bankroll by shooting craps with the janitor. Three guesses how Segar depicted the janitor. One of the hazards of doing these archive crawls is that for a good-sized chunk of the twentieth century, there was an industry standard for how American comics depicted non-Anglo-European types, and pretty much all the creators who sold to the mainstream press (and drew human beings) lived down to it in one way or another.

I'd go into it a bit more, but we're overdue finding out how Sally Forth pissed off her mother this time.
