S/O Kinder Eggs? Canadian MLers?

[hisno1girl]

My grandson is obsessed with these things and they aren't available in the US.

are these available in Canada?

[Sloane]

Yup, they sure are, my DD watches youtube videos on them, so I get the obsession.

[rugbywife]

Every grocery store. So good.

[waffletime]

Yes. Easter isn't the same anymore.

[fluffydamn]

Yup. And wonder balls also

[snickers]

Yup!

I think it's ridiculous that they don't sell them in the US.

[hisno1girl]

Sooo....how much are these things and who can help me out?

I would be the best Grandma in the history of ever if I could get these for my grandson.

I can try and send you some if you want, I've heard from some friends that they get confiscated at the border but I'll send with a few other candies and some maple syrup or something. Lol.

Confiscated? really?

Of all the things brought into the US illegally, the border patrol targets chocolate eggs!!  

I'll keep this in mind If I decide to get some.

I recall reading an article about them getting confiscated at the US border. Absurd if true.

The little pieces pose a safety risk to children.

The article (or post on here??? It all blends together) was comparing the chocking risk vs stats on child shooting deaths in the US.

A few years ago our van was searched and we were heavily questioned about kinder eggs. I think they must have noticed the wrapper in the console when I passed over our passports.

I don't know how my 3 yr old recently got obsessed with watching them on YouTube. Though I hardly let her. Probably something my oldest came across and she was watching.

She started saying "eggies...your phone" in a little funny voice and she tries to find my phone to sneak off and watch them.

The reason you don't have them is because they are filled with tiny little chokeables and marketed to small children.
Canada=REAL breeziness.

Or our kids are smart enough to remove the toy before eating.
Canadians = smart

They've actually recently redesigned the packaging for the US, so you should be able to get a version of them here.

[lissaholly]

Any German festivals in the area? Perhaps Frankenmuth? I love these and I make a point to get them at Christkindlmart in Chicago. I know I will get the real deal this Christmas though because my sister will bring some back from her upcoming trip to Europe;)

[sineadorebellion]

You should be able to find the choco treasure brand at dollar tree and target. I usually scoop up the spiderman ones for DD2 when I find them.

[vampsterdam]

There are some ethic grocery stores in the Chicago area that sell them. (Usually Polish-owned stores)

I honestly didn't know they were "illegal" until a friend said something. I've always brought them back from Europe (and my relatives have, too) and we've never had issues.

I'm pretty sure I would cry/laugh hysterically if border patrol confiscated my Kinder eggs.

[tdk2]

I tried bringing home something similar from Australia - choc eggs filled with smarties (think m&ms), stuff like that. Damn customs out a thumb through EVERY one, crushing them. I assume they were checking for smuggling? Who knows. I was so sad when I opened my suitcase, I was going to give them to all my little cousins.

[lightyears]

I've seen them at bed bath & beyond, in their new food section.
