At eight or nine, I was ok walking home from school, which was about a mile away, and several residential blocks. When my dad was a kid, he used to ride his bike several miles across town to the library in his home town... I think he was sort of disappointed that I didn't feel comfortable riding to the one in the town I grew up in, which was six or seven miles from home.\n\nI never thought of it as being particularly dangerous or adventurous. I guess some people have pretty different attitudes now, though. I was talking to a coworker with a daughter who's just starting college, and he was saying that he didn't think she'd ever been alone before. Like, they never even left her alone in their home for more than a few minutes at a time. No sleepovers, no walking to school, nothing.

Taking a loan out that you plan to pay back and do so within the means is all fine and dandy on paper, but clearly the system has been rigged. The housig bubble didnt just happen, it happened because greed caused criminal behaviour and market manipulation. And suddenly the bubble popped. The debt didnt go away, but people lost their homes. My point is ideal system doesnt have families living in eternal debt. ISuch a system doesnt create a healthy wealthy happy society, it creates slaves. \n\nSure we can argue that we should all live within our means, and frugal spending is the key. But there ypu are constantly bombarded by information that forces you to feel shit about your life, that you dont matter, you arent sexy, beautiful, happy unless you have this product. This is the world we live in, its not some arbitury concept. We all have the responcibility. Yet logic like yours just offloads any responcibility on those being exploited and blaiming them just contributes to this social devide. And when society, neighbours are devided it creates distain, it opens the doors to exploitation. \n\nIf the poor and the middle class had the access to the same benifits that the rich get, there wouldnt\n be americans living who wirk three jobs, just to get by......",

"As the speed of the blades increase, they bend back towards the tower, which is why the centerline of the drive train is angled up by 3 to 5 degrees. In cases like this, you are normally seeing a failure of the storm shutdown command (which drives the blades to their feathered position and shuts down power production), or a failure of the safety chain circuit to shut down the tower in the event of a power loss. In these events, the blades bend back to strike the tower and damage it enough to cause a structural collapse, often referred to as \"beer canning\" the tower."

I had a fake mustache on me randomly cause like I said I was a weird kid. As a few of my friends and I waited in line to get our pictures taken, we were trying to come up with a valid reason why the photographer would let me get away with wearing a mustache in my school picture. One idea was for me to pretend to be a foreign exchange student and act like it was a part of my culture to wear the mustache (we were stupid) But anytime that i spoke I immediately burst into laughter. One of my friends came up with the idea that I don’t talk at all, and I pretend to be mute and she would be my translator. \nFast forward, we’re next and line and I approach this mid age, angrily looking photographer. He instantly says you have to take that off. I began making random hand signals acting like I was actually saying something to him in sign language. My friend stepped in and said “hello I’m her translator, she just said she wants to wear her mustache in her picture because she wears it everyday and it’s become apart of her persona, and without it, she wouldn’t feel herself”. He stared at her, then looked at me, paused then said “ok come here on the line and raise your head.”\nI stood there trying to hold my composure as he was positioning my hands. I was dying on the inside. \nWhat’s also funny is since the picture was in the school system and anytime the teacher had to give attendance they saw my stupid face. At times substitutes would bring me over to their desk and asked me if I knew that my picture look like this.\nIt’s definitely one of my most favorite pranks."

Season 2 starts to show the later changes, but it's still on its way. \n\n3 is a transitional season, but the definite beginning of the \"golden age\" of classic seasons that lasts through season 8. After that is a period of increasingly rapid decline.\n\nUsually the biggest tell is the showrunner responsible for a given season. Season 3 is where it first switched up from the original team and went to Al Jean and Mike Reiss (who later would create *The Critic*), after two seasons it moved to David Mirkin (former co-creator of *Get A Life*), and then after two seasons of that Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein (later creators of *Mission Hill*) took over for two years. Mike Scully then ran the show until season 13 when it was largely in decline, but it was when Al Jean came back after then that it has been seen to reach new lows and never really recover.\n\nA changeover in writers happened during that time period as well, but the showrunner is responsible for so much of the tone and feel of things that their influence is often felt quite strongly.",

Compare those seasons to other animated series or other comedies running that long, and they hold up surprisingly well.

The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons.

What forms your beliefs might not translate to others. Also, it's healthy to be able to laugh at yourself. \n\n>I don't really know anyone who would call themselves a Christian libertarian, can you explain a few of the things he stands for or promotes in his shows that you disagree with?\n\nI have a very strong belief in God and am a very devout Christian. Though, I don't fit in with the stereotypical (and narrow minded) portrayal of Christianity, which in my opinion is based mostly on evangelical Baptism. I'm an methodist/episcopal (which is the other side of the coin of Baptism and other Calvinistic faiths). I don't believe every little thing you do is scrutinized and tallied on a scoreboard like a lot of Christians believe. I also know that everyone is on their own journey and can understand why people dislike religion. To answer your question, Seth grew up Roman Catholic, which to me explains everything. RC uses guilt as a compliance tactic all the time. The things Seth has mentioned in Family Guy and American Dad are classic examples of wayward RC policy, and the rebelion against such teachings. I totally get why someone would turn away from the church when they get old enough to think for themselves. But I find myself saying \"well that's not the God that I believe in either\" during segments that rail on religion. \n\nAlso I think he can go overboard with his jokes sometimes. Like comparing McCain/Palin to Hitler and making light of Sarah Palin's mentally handicapped child. Those jokes were, to me, over the line and distasteful. But that's not going to stop me from laughing my ass off when Stewie and Brian have dog/baby children, or Peter almost has sex with Lois' mother, or Brian eating Stewie's shit out of his diaper. \n\nAs far as straight up policy, he often stands for big government, which comes through in his jokes all the time (IE, the episode where Brian and Peter go back to the 80s is FULL of jokes about how much better it would've been if Al Gore won the election). I still laugh at the jokes if they're funny enough, even if I disagree with their message. ",

"I like Enterprise by and large, but it suffered from awful casting.\n\nScott Bakula was an atrocious choice, he couldn't act with emotion without looking like he was on public access TV and hadn't ever had formal training, and he for some reason chose to talk to every other ship they encountered as if they were crewed by kindergarten classes. He was completely uncompelling as an actor even though his role had potential.\n\nThe rest of the main cast didn't fare much better. Dominic Keating as Malcolm Reed? What the fuck? Awful actor, awful writing. Linda Park was classic Trek eye candy, and you could often tell how the episodes that built her character seemed to be little more than attempts to convince the audience that she totally wasn't there just to be a hottie, nuh uh. Park got a better handle on the role as the show progressed, but there was no need to repeat history with another Troi character when TNG already did five seasons of learning the hard way so that Enterprise wouldn't have had to.\n\nTravis Mayweather was a garbage fire of a character. I don't want to comment on the actor, because nobody looks good covered in shit. Jolene Blalock is an alright actress, but her greatest success on the show was to shut down as much of the whole Seven of Nine nonsense as possible, and make the character more of her own thing. She was the second part of the traditional Trek eye candy duo meant to cover all the bases of attraction, but she was also the most successful one at that, so I guess that's something.\n\nThe last two of the main cast are the show's saving graces. Connor Trinneer as Trip was fantastic. Wonderful actor who really transcended the writing and seemed less like an actor playing a role, and more like a real person. He was the anchor point for the rest of the \"bridge\" crew and the only part that let them retain even the faintest air of organisational competence. John Billingsley as Phlox was in my mind one of the best character executions in all of Trek. The writing of the character and the way that Billingsley played it was an excellent and long overdue departure from the aliens-as-human-character-traits bullshit that's so innate to Star Trek. Phlox was an actual alien, and by far the best that Star Trek has ever seen.\n\nWith a bit of a spitshine for the writing, and with a full cast all at the level of Trinneer and Billingsley, Enterprise could have been in contention for the best series, but of course that wasn't to be.",

I won't say more than that, because spoilers - but it was pretty intense. \nA couple are about religion, like \"If the Stars Should Appear\" and \"Mad Idolatry\". \n \nThe jokes are 'modern', I agree. And some of it is just fun - like one of the aliens that has just an average office guy voice and vibe that makes small talk in the elevator and loves restoring wood furniture. Because these type of shows have always played to the humor of the time they were released. They all have \"playful\" episodes and more serious ones that can address real world issues or emotions. \n \nI'm just a fan of those type of shows, old and new, and a big fan of The Orville.

I don't personally remember \"The Flintstones\" as first run television, but they ran in an evening \"adult\" slot for 6 years in the 60s. I'm pretty sure there were others. I think it's very possible that the Simpsons were able to stick around longer, because of fox being the newer fourth network, and willing to take chances on somewhat less profitable shows that the big three networks would not have continued in a primetime spot. I'm not sure they represent anything trail-blazing... just the same format at a time when the expansion of television allowed them more room. Fox is still the only one to really invest in animation.

It wasn't a fantastic innovation so much as a culturally digestible form of something that hadn't quite found the impetus to break into the mainstream. But if you dig, you'll find that these things more-or-less \"genericized\" their arts (and derivatives such as Family Guy and Candlebox continued that trend).\n\nDon't get me wrong... I really like The Simpsons ever since I saw the shorts on the Tracy Ulman show back in the day. I loved Nirvana ever since my Dad made me a bootleg tape from their \"nobody\" days opening shows in dive bars.

And what it did have to do with was really dumb and banal, something about, like, getting somewhere real fast? The really offensive part was all the tired tv tropes, cliches, and stock characters. It was unwatchable so I lost interest after five episodes or so. \n\nHas it actually picked up since then? My policy these days is to give everything a few years to let other people test it for me.

"In the first season, it looks that they're going with the same Family Guy tropes, with the three kids mirroring Griffin's children and a bear instead of a dog.

I thought that Junior would be the nerd version of Chris, being a loser and all, but he's the opposite. Rallo, Donna, and Holt are among my favorite.\n\nAt a point, I liked more than Family Guy because the stories were less random. Family Guy sometimes overuses their reference jokes.

Matt certainly provided the foundation, and his anti-authoritative style from 'Life in Hell' is carried over to the Simpson's.\n\nBut the person responsible for the Simpson's humour and ultimately it's influence imo is Sam Simon. He assembled the team of writers, and was show runner for the first four seasons. Matt Groening had several terrible ideas for the show that were mostly shot down by everyone, and was never really part of the writers room. The media ran with the easier story, that a broke comic strip writer creates revolutionary show that changes television forever, rather than the more complex matt groening/James L brooks/sam simon relationship. \n\nBrooks was integral as well, his reputation allowed him to tell the studio that the writers will never ever receive notes, allowing imense freedom. He also served as a compromiser between sam and matt when their relationship fractured. The book is fascinating and I can't recommend it enough for any hardcore Simpsons fan.

(Technically the storyline originated in 1991, the same year Gene died, but he was incapacitated by encephalopathy for about 2 years before that. \n\nPost-Roddenberry, ST is a very different animal. Pre-Roddenberry, it was an idealistic and ‘clean’ utopian future. I’m not even saying I like the Roddenberry version better, but the guy I’m replying to is comparing Discovery to TOS and TNG - which were firmly under Roddenberry’s control (the ‘mutiny’ episodes you cited started in TNG, but TNG as established was intended by Gene to be the same utopian future). I’m specifically responding to the claim that Discovery “ripped off” espisodes from TNG and TOS. \n\nMeanwhile, I can cite you a specific Star Trek episode for every single episode of Orville (except arguably the first one, where the main conflict is the infidelity between the Captain and First Officer). Even the episode where an ex-lover comes into play has an analogue in ST. \n\nFind me the Star Trek episode where the first 10 minutes of it occur in Klingon. Find the Star Trek episode that has a crewman incapacitating their captain during a crisis in a mutinous fashion over a command dispute (the Maquis conflict is a political dispute, not a command dispute). Discovery does have callbacks to Trek, but to suggest it’s cribbing from TOS and TNG is silly. \n",

">Can't you see that not everyone can do it? Can't you see that it isn't just some inate ability that people have?\n\nNo, I don't see or believe that at all. That's basically the direct opposite of my own experiences, observations, and the belief I've explained here.\n\n>It is something that people work hard to hone and achieve, yet here you sit saying that all that hard work wasn't necessary because it is as easy as picking up a fucking pen. \n\nIt is something that people work hard to *hone* and improve, yes, like most skills. The more you practice, the more you do it, the better you are. Hell, I acknowledged that before and acknowledge it here again, and in fact, it's a fundamental part of my belief that *everyone* can do it. That practice and hard work is exactly what I'm talking about. All those times you worked at it were you choosing to pick up your tools and *try*. Everyone can do that, if they try.\n\n>No one automatically knows what type of shading to use to get a desired effect, no one can tell you right of the bat what looks better in hyper realism and what looks better in a more surealist style, no one can say what utensils look better and which ones mesh together well. \n\nYeah, no. I've met dozens of people of all ages at various times in my life that had inherent understandings of all those things, or learned them themselves by doing exactly what I'm encouraging people to do here. They just picked up a pen and tried.\n\nI feel like you're projecting your own insecurities as your point of view here by making claims like **\"no one\"** can do this, no one can do that. I think maybe you had lots of trouble learning those things, which is why you're so offended by me suggesting people can learn through simple trial and effort.\n\n>People work endless hours to hone these skills and you pretend as if they are some simple ability that everyone has, and I am telling you that fuck no everyone doesn't have the ability to draw. \n\nPeople do that and I didn't deny it. It's how you *improve*. Everyone's artistic development happens at a pace totally unique to them, and **how often they pick up the pen**. I'm not pretending shit. Anyone can draw. They just have to try. Some people will be amazing right off the bat, and really have a knack for it. Others will be shit for years and years, so by the time they're not, they get snobby and pissy at the mere suggestion somebody can get there faster than them. As if it's a fucking race or competition or if any of our investment beyond the simple act of drawing itself matters.\n\nIt's not a competition, because everyone can draw. They just need to try.\n\n>You shit on every artist by saying this, you shit on their hard work and sacrifices. I am not using artist as some exclusive term, I use it as a term for anyone who shows talent for art. You shit on them and so I am rightfully pissed off, hard work and dedication is not something you should shit on, *EVER*.\n\nExcept I didn't. Once. Reread all my posts. Your interpretation and understanding of my opinion is flawed, tainted by your own prickly sensitivities and need to feel as if art, drawing, is something super special or amazingly unique - and it is, but not because *you* can do it, not because some people get really fucking good at it or work really hard at it. It's amazing because *anyone* can do it.\n\nAnd all the people who do it well?\n\nThose are people who, at some point, picked up a pen or pencil and *tried*.\n\nI'm not shitting on existing artists. I'm inviting more to make the same efforts they do. I'm inviting more people to try.\n\nAnyways, that's pretty much all I have to say. You've made it pretty clear no matter how well I substantiate my point of view, you're going to disagree with it or misinterpret it anyways on a basis of personal offense. Which is fine. You don't think everyone can draw. I do. Enjoy pretending you're special.",

Someone will probably come by and tell me I'm wrong.\n\nAs I understand it, Kingdom Hearts is the source of all the worlds but more specifically *it is filled with hearts*. This is somewhat important to me here because, when you kill a heartless (or even when the heartless are shown killing someone) they give up their hearts. To me, the implication is that when you die you're (your heart) *supposed to* go back to Kingdom Hearts. Hearts that are too dark or that don't make it back become heartless (which are literally hearts made manifest).\n\nThis sets Kingdom Hearts up as a sort of afterlife (if you can call it that) but more accurately a sort of \"soul repository\" where souls/hearts show up for a while and then leave again, somewhat akin to the Buddhist and Shinto afterlives. And both of those are pretty big among the Japanese and in Japanese culture in general.

I just put some kind of smelly good oil in it after it's like half dried.\n\nIt may seem counterintuitive to add oil to unwashed hair but after a week or two of not stripping the oils out, your hair just makes less oil and feels healthier and stronger. But those first two weeks is a challenge, your hair will look like garbage. \n\nBut even if you don't go that extreme, you probably should only be washing it once a week max. ",

I bought a grip this Christmas from World Market because I was so happy I found them, but it was like half the egg was a Nutella/ chocolate mix you eat with a spoon and the other half had the toy. If I understand correctly you can’t put toys IN food, so there’s a next-to version for the US. ",
"omg\n",
"I mean, I know Reddit has a hard-on for these Kinder eggs, but I don't think an FDA regulation stating that non-edible items NOT be included within food is a bad idea. I mean, in [2000 alone in the UK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder_Surprise#Safety_concerns), three families are reported to have lost children because of these eggs and the potential choking hazard they pose. [HERE is a story](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/kinder-egg-toy-death-france-three-year-old-french-girl-chokes-a6822626.html) about a French girl who nearly died just last year choking on the toy inside the egg. And these are countries which supposedly know all about the function and tradition of the egg. I guess its an unpopular opinion, but mixing small plastic toys and food (especially candy) just seems like a recipe for disaster to me. If a small child finds something inside of food, I can totally see how their mind might also assume that these contents are also some nature of food, thus inserting it into their mouth.\n\nAlso, comparing this FDA law to the sale of firearms... you certainly know how to pander to Reddit.",
"Anyone remember Wonderballs?? They were the same thing pretty much. Haven’t seen any in years so i guess they died out?? ",
"I bet Hitler loved kinder eggs.",
"Remember when /r/pics was about interesting pics?",
"I thought we avoided the shutdown?",
"You know sometimes I wonder how much of these regulations is actually to keep the public safe and how much is just screwing up natural selection",
"Shouldn't be giving kinder eggs to children unsupervised. Why do we need the government to start parenting? Because some people shouldn't be having kids? Then we may as well ban everything from swimming pools to cars because children can't handle those either. ",
">It is believed the girl put the toy, described as having wheels, into her mouth. It became stuck in her airway and she could not breathe.\n\nShe ate the chocolate, pulled the toy out of the Egg, potentially assembled it, then put it in her mouth.\n\nI wouldn't be suprised if the English families are in a similar boat, the \"Egg\" inside the chocolate is too big for young kids to swallow and choke on.\n\nThis is no different than choking on a normal small toy. Would you let your 3 year old play with lego alone?",
"Kinder Joy is legal. Kinder Surprise is not.",
"> Shouldn't be giving kinder eggs to children unsupervised.\n\n...I don't disagree. But it should be a *foregone conclusion* that parents will. If unsupervised kids out there are getting ahold of and eating Tide pods, it can be assumed they will also get ahold of Kinder suprise eggs.\n\n> Why do we need the government to start parenting?\n\n...this isn't a matter of the government parenting. It is a matter of them legislating what has been shown to be a deadly combination of integrating non-edible choking hazards within food. I am the LAST person who would advocate for nanny-state style over regulation, but even I think such a law is NOT a bad idea.",
"If a small child finds something *inside* of chocolate (or any food), I can completely understand how their mind might think that it might also be something edible they can put in their mouth and eat.",
"Yup, only over there though. We dutchies have the ones in the op. Never tried to stuff the toy in my mouth though",
"I always hated the ones you had to assemble. I was about the collectible figures. You had the dolfins, there was a line of egyptian cats, hippo's\n",
"But there isn't anything swallowable inside the chocolate, there is a big-ass plastic egg inside the chocolate which contains the toy.\n\nAlso, again, why would you leave your kid alone with that? It even says \"0-3 years old not allowed\" on the egg. I had kinder eggs since i can remember, never had the urge to swallow it, and my Mom still would always pay attention.\n\nIt's literally the same as buying Lego toys for your 2-3 year old and being shocked if he chokes on it when unattended. ",
"I'm in the US as well and we can't have Kinder Surprise but we can have those disgusting Yowie chocolates with the little toys inside and that makes no sense to me. I've seen them in World Market and other stores as well. I don't recommend them. ",
"😂",
"> It even says \"0-3 years old not allowed\" on the egg.\n\n...lol, yes, as we all know, parents universally always follow and comply with such warnings. Legos are different because they don't *come packaged inside food*. Like I already stated, it shouldn't be a leap of understanding to think that anything contained within food might give any small child the idea that it too also might be food, thus inserting it into one's mouth. That's not a leap of logic, there.",
"Anyone know where I can get one of these in Houston? Nostalgia came at me fast.",
"I buy these to my 3 yr old daughter all the time. She eats the chocolate, we assemble the toy and 3 minutes later the damn thing is gone through what I can only assume to be an Oblivion portal, never to be seen again.",
"> That's not a leap of logic, there.\n\nIt isn't if you are a small child for whom the kinder egg is not allowed. Also there are quite a few stories of young kids choking on Lego, because guess what, little kids aren't smart and tend to put stuff into their mouth, doesn't matter if it originates from food or not. Choking on stuff in general is pretty much the biggest threat for little kids, yet kinder eggs in no way stand out as a special choking hazard despite your \"logic\".\n\n>...lol, yes, as we all know, parents universally always follow and comply with such warnings.\n\nMaybe you shouldn't be a parent then?",
">I am the LAST person who would advocate for nanny-state style over regulation, but even I think such a law is NOT a bad idea.\n\nThis **is** nanny-state shit. People need to accept personal responsibility. If you don't want your 3 year old choking on kinder eggs, don't buy them. \n\n",
"Like I said, it needs to be assumed that small children will get ahold of the Kinder egg candy... its what children do, they get their fucking hands on candy. Parents can do their best to avoid it... but, if you aren't a parent, you might not know how goddam sneaky kids can be, ESPECIALLY when it comes to candy. You can obviously do whatever you'd like, but for me, its not a risk I'm willing to take.\n\n> Maybe you shouldn't be a parent then?\n\n...FFS, how did we go from talking about Kinder surprise eggs to talking about stripping parents of their reproductive rights. ",
"But children can choke on everything, even small food itself. They could just sneak a regular candy and choke on it.\n\nThere is nothing that supports your claim that kinder-eggs are more dangerous than other stuff except your armchair child-psychology.",
"Like I said, do whatever you'd like with your kids, but for me, inserting choking hazards INSIDE OF tasty delicious chocolate just seems a bit daft to me. Maybe you can go tell the parents whose child died while interacting with these eggs that this is just \"armchair child-psychology\"... and then take the rest of their children away from them while you're at it, as it seems you're advocating.",
"3 children reportedly died to kinder egg toys. Kinder eggs are on the market for decades.\n\nTaking recent year, on average, more kids die choking on balloons in a year in the US than kids in total have choked on kinder egg toys.\n\nYes, children deaths are tragic, but you are going at this way too emotional. Children choke on stuff, period. There is nothing that suggests they choke more often on kinder toys than any other toy. Or food. Or coins.\n\nMaybe those should be all banned too?",
"Probably a fiesta. ",
"It is the most magical of places for food and the bathrooms on top of that",
"I want to say they're called Kinder Joy here now too rather than Kinder Surprise. ",
"I remember when I was a kid there was this little Russian store my parents would take me to and I was allowed to get one treat. It was always a kinder egg. Once we got to the car I would unwrap it and eat half the egg. Then open up the bright container inside. And while nibbling on the other half I'd assemble my toy and the entire backseat became my racetrack. Those were the days. ",
"Yeah. We get those over here sometimes too.",
"I always wanted toys you had to assemble. Figures were boring. But stupid puzzles were the worst - pure disappointment.",
"It's just a different product. In germany you can buy both",
"Oh yeah. Those were the worst. My mom actually displayed my figurines in a cabinet on the wall.\n",
"Tons of Armenian supermarkets in Southern California sell these, or any small middle-eastern/European shop for the matter.",
"That's great; they're not the original version.",
"This seems like total mom thing to do. We had them all on a kitchen shelf.",
"But they need those guns to keep their military in check. You know, that same military that the people they vote into power keeps growing and growing. They've made it pretty darn big now, so they need many guns to beat it one day. ",
"I see these in indie convenience stores but never in chain convenience stores or in regular grocery stores.",
"That's very tragic but how many have been killed by kinder eggs compared to 9/11 and yet airplanes aren't banned?",
"At least tide pods are functioning as described, cleaning the gene pool. (Stolen from the front page)",
"Its easier to prevent child stupidity on one hand. ",
"FFS... where the heck do you come off with this wingnut ass-backwards comparison??? Whether or not small children choke to death eating plastic inside of chocolate has **NOTHING** to do with 9/11 or the people who died that day. To even attempt to compare them is hopelessly desperate and ignorant. The fact that you even made such a comparison makes me think it would be hopeless to even attempt to explain to you how wrong and boneheaded the statement was. Have a good day.",
"The wonderballs with stickers have been replaced by wonderballs that have candy iirc.\n\nI saw a case of them at the dollar store, so i think wonderballs are just being sold elsewhere than grocery stores. ",
"More people were killed by 9/11 than the number killed by all kinder eggs in all years combined but planes were only banned for one day and kinder eggs are banned for all time, how does that make sense? ",
"That's a [Kinder Joy](https://youtu.be/c_TNcxohZRc?t=3m47s).",
"> 40 years ago\n\n> Hitler\n\nYou might wanna check that timeline!",
"Are you sure they're the Kinder Surprise eggs and not the Kinder Joy eggs? Because Kinder makes one that CAN be sold in the US, where they've basically put all of the chocolate on one side of the plastic egg and the toy on the other side.\n\nHooray for Kinder for assuring that even the American populace can enjoy their candy without the fear of eating plastic toys.",
"What doesn't make sense is anything coming out of your mouth. Please spare us anymore your leaps of logic.",
"Nice try, FBI.",
"Jewel (the Albertson's of the Chicago area) sells Kinder Joy. They are pretty delicious.. ",
"Usually spanish/brazilian stores have them, at least in Connecticut. ",
"Ahhh I see, they are still awsome I’m sure, I’ll be on the look out. :) thank you for that! \n\nI remember vaguely getting a wonder ball at windixie when I was a little kid and it had a plastic egg inside that would have stickers or whatever in it?? I don’t know if that’s correct or not I really can’t remember that well lol I wonder if that was before those type of things were banned? ",
