Kinder eggs: illegal
Kids handling guns: perfectly normal and accepted
10 children have died in the last 50 years from choking on the toy in a Kinder egg, Though that is a tiny amount considering 3.5 billion eggs are now sold each year, But 10 is still very sad.
But in the US around 500 children die each year from finding a unsecured gun in their home and either shooting themselves or a sibling.
@@deanrolph6912 those 10 children also did NOT die from accidentally swallowing an (invisible?) big yellow capsule, but from swallowing parts of the (probably unassembled) toys after opening the chocolate egg, AND opening the capsule, and ONLY THEN trying to eat the toys, which would similarly apply to ALL small toys (that are not forbidden) ... of course, one every 5 years is one too many, but with 50 years times billions of eggs, there were probably MANY more children killed by cars on the way to or from stores to buy those eggs.
@@Anson_AKB… which proves that these eggs are dangerous 😉
@@deanrolph6912 And 82 school shootings this year in USA leaving 39 dead and 89 injured. Source CNN.
Shout-out to the JR-15 lmao
Buying your kids an Hello Kitty branded assault rifle: perfectly fine and safe.
Buying your kids a chocolate egg with a toy inside: deathly hazard to everyone around
Only in the USA!
I got several tin figurines from Kinder eggs, you can throw it and hurt someone. My favorite was R2D2 looking robots, they did make it enough different, to not be sued .
Cheap copies had way more dangerous stuff, more small parts and even the plastic toy container could shatter in sharp pieces, with Kinder eggs you really had to make an effort to destroy that yellow container.
And chocolate's are full of chemicals known for being bad for human consumption when manufactured in America.
@@gregmayo6987 Kinder isn't American chocolate though. It's Italian
@@pete_lind " even the plastic toy container could shatter in sharp pieces" No, they can not. They are to soft. They are designed so they can not ahtter in sharp pieces because Europeans are aware of this possibillity and do make them so, that there is no need to bann it.
And what you said to the figurines and parts... yes but this counts for the most toys in the USA too. But our parents teach us to not eat toys. And our parents don'T give us the eggs and leave us alone. They stay there,. open the container for us. help us to build the toy together and watch out, that we eat the chocolate and not the toy.
Every year in the US more children dying on choking food than children on choking kinder egg toys in over 50 years all around the world.
So maybe the US should ban food?
Food containing toy = bad
Food containing artificial crap = good
reclassify microplastics as toys maybe.
"The land of the free" - One of the biggest lies ever told! And sadly, a lot of people still believe it
Somebody added that r in by accident. Land of the fee is very accurate.
@@spugelo359 😂 one of the best replies to a comment I've had on CZcams! 😂
Not true. The evil socialist European governments force people to pay taxes to give medical care to other people, but in the US poor people are free to be sick as much as they want. European governments subsidise food production so that all food is good quality, but in the US people are free to save money by buying low quality food. In Europe guns are highly regulated, but in the US your crazy neighbour who doesn't take his meds is free to buy any gun he wants.
See, there are lots of freedoms.
Come to Europe Pay double the tax and get half the freedom....than you will over think...lol
@@hansosl I only pay 10% tax and for that I get a bunch of stuff you americans have to pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars per month for besides your taxes, so if you add up taxes + everything that are included in our taxes but not in yours, then the average american spends a larger portion of their income for the same things.... And also, tell me exactly what freedoom you have that we don't? The right to bear arms? No thank you, I'd rather not have that! And we have something called right to roam which means we are free to go hiking and even camping on private property as long as we're not disturbing the land or the landowner... And we have the peace of mind that we can get sick or injured without having to worry about losing our jobs or getting bankrupt.... The american "freedoom" is nothing but a scam!
The hand of the free also holds the record for having the highest proportion of its citizens in prison!
Highest number of serial killers,highest number of cults,etc etc.
In most other contries kids under 14 cann't come in prison.
I'm an american. I'm also a world traveler. And I know for a fact that living in America, you get so much propaganda that it's disgusting! You have a far higher standard of living in Europe or Australia. It's a joke that people actually believe living in the US is the greatest country in the world. It's actually laughable. The education system isn't even in the top 20. Every other country in the world has a national healthcare system that makes America's healthcare system laughing stock. I lived in Ukraine for a year, and their healthcare system was 10 times better than America's.
Everything everyone says about the US is true -provided you specifically are among the top 1% earners where the benefits actually start presenting themselves. For everyone else the "American dream" is exactly that: a dream. Not reality
but you will repeat that lie till you die, because its the only thing the USA is great in, propaganda!
I have the impression that many Americans live in a kind of bubble where they believe they are alone in the world or just the best, without realizing that they are living in an open-air prison.
They are manipulated to believe that elsewhere it is prehistory when in their own country they are still in 1850. sad.
JasonBates It's rather refreshing to hear an American speak the truth about your countries shortfalls. I believe the negative reactions to Americans ranting mindlessly about their country being the greatest is citizens from other countries just trying to open the eyes of Americans who blindly believe their politicians, swallowing the crap sandwich they feed them. The worst speech I ever heard any American President give was George W. Bush, they hate us, and they hate our freedoms, just a con job on the American public bullshitting them into thinking USA was the only country with freedoms and unfortunately, that lie has stuck in the American psyche. That's why they under educate the people, so they aren't smart enough to catch the con.
do US people realy think they are the country of freedom ? i know progaganda is HUGE in the US but i always though the fact they actualy think they country is the one of freedom is more like a runing gag, people realy do believe that in US ? that's insane :o
USA: Oh my God. You can't put a small toy in that chocolate. It's far too dangerous!
meanwhile...
USA: This candy isn't brightly enough coloured, add more artificial food colouring #3 which has been shown to be health risk in study after study, it'll be fine.
As an Australian I knew about the Kinder Egg thing. Ironic that your country bans a food because it COULD kill kids considering how many kids get killed by guns.
It's terrifying how many kids kill WITH guns, too.
Kinder egg has no lobby, the NRA protects the guns!!!
@@Gamesta100 you did missunderstand what was said.
Its not only kids that gets killed with guns. But kids do kill with guns aswell.
@@Gamesta100 Um, all i did was state a fact, i wasn't judging you or what you said, dude.
@@Gamesta100Chill, fella. He's furthering your point, not correcting you.
It's even funnier when you remember that Pasteur was French 😊America is most likely the most surveilled country on Earth - freedom is really just a word your politicians like to use to make you believe they're on your side.
UK not far behind.
@@geofftottenperthcoys9944 The UK is in the top ten most free countries, the US doesn't even make the top twenty.
It is important to know, that the 7 cases when a child choked on a kinder egg toy were not cases of choking when eating the egg itself, but opening it up and giving a child the toy and then choking on it. Which is just basically standard choking hazard for small objects and not connected to the issue whether the toy is inside the egg or next to it.
I was also thinking something similar. Of course it is tragic that kids have died from choking on Kinderegg toy parts, but hey - how many kids died from choking on other stuff during the same period? It should be known all across the world that small kids put anything in their mouths. Or peas up their nose or anything else really strange (for us adults). Small kids just need to be mostly supervised, anywhere in the world.

So my friend went to new York for a holiday (we are Irish) on the way back, he was checking in at the airport. The fake friendly check in lady asked him how did he enjoy New York? He said it was fun, but while dear. ( Irish for every expensive)
Next thing he knows he's in a room surrounded by police, getting screamed at, his bags off the plane. 2 hours later when he's missed his flight and explained he's not smuggling wild deer he's released. Got a flight alone the following day. He's called Shane, his advice for visiting America.... Don't fucking go there 😂
Where did they think he was hiding the wild deer?in his pants?
@@Trebor74 in his cases lol he had them all opened up and searched through
@@Trebor74 You'd be surprised what some travelers carry in their luggage. Customs agents worldwide must have solid stomachs sometimes.
I've travelled to a lot of countries. Forget about the propaganda it (the USA has the most freedom of speech) You have to be very careful what you say.
I a woman travelling on British passport (she was born in a British colony) American Customs went to shoot her on the spot because they couldn't understand geography.
@conallmclaughlin4545 in Australia, the word DEAR (expensive)
The word means the same definition.
I was shocked how violent was/is.
American thought it was right to threaten to kill people because of their ignorance and boigertory.
I will not go to the USA again, because I don't feel safe there.
I find it funny that america doesn't allow kinder eggs but is happy to let people eat chicken soaked in chlorine 😅
Damn, you beat me to it! 😂🤣😂
kinder eggs gives money to a company outside the US.
Chlorinated chicken makes big $$$ for US companies.
You live in an oligarchy, just be aware of it.
Welcome to the land of the fr......chemicals
when you dig in this topic of food producing from the big food companies you can sum it up to :
ignore the health of your own customers and your own population. The main thing is that every year the profit is higher
just like anything - modern capitalism
Not "America", just the US
In 2020 and 2021, firearms were involved in the deaths of more children ages 1-17 than any other type of injury or illness, surpassing deaths due to motor vehicles, which had long been the number one factor in child deaths. In 2021, there were 2,571 child deaths due to firearms-a rate of 3.7 deaths per 100,000 children, which is an increase of 68% in the number of deaths since 2000 and 107% since a recent low of 2013.
Exactly the reason why Kinder eggs need to be banned. Imagine all the egg related deaths on top of that. America would die out within two generations.
EU ban guns
USA ban Kinder egg
that tells you everything
Firearms are safe as long as the ammunition isn't so small-calibre as to cause a choking hazard to the under 5s.
@@Escapee5931 …and they must not be made of chocolate
Not a lot of intelligence in the USA. But it's another money thing! @@tihomirrasperic
The same reasoning they use to ban Kinder Eggs could be used to prohibit avocados, non-seedless grapes and watermelons, any fruit with seeds inside.
If Ferrero was a US company they would've just lobbied to have the law changed so they could sell Kinder eggs....
If they paid enough "taxes", they'd be legal in America.😊
I'm pleased the jaywalking issue was raised. The history of jaywalking in the US is worth investigating and a classic example of how powerful lobbyists can change a society while making it look like the villain of the piece is the victim.
It's funny, you can buy a rifle gun for your kid in the US but not a kinder surprise 😂
Surely that's because you cant' defend your freedom against Canadians or Murica's own sophisticated military with a Kinder Egg, but with them good old guns in your bedside table, yee-haw! /s
😂👌
Or Lawn Darts, and they could be used to defend your freedom.
Has anyone ever choked on a gun?
@@nothanks1545 yes Kurt Cobain
Something I specified under the original video, too: Kinder Joy wasn't made to comply with US laws, it was introduced in Italy in the Summer of 1999 (initially just around the South-East area of Italy) under the name Kinder Merendero, intended as a summertime substitute for regular Kinder Sorpresa eggs, as Ferrero has a policy of halting the sales of some of its products in the Summer to avoid the heat spoiling them.
True.
So are popsicles illegal? They’ve got a wooden stick embedded in them…
But wood has nutritional value?
@@ctakitimu probably more nutritious than breakfast cereal with marshmallows in it!
So,all I can say is...I'm so happy I live in EU 😂😂😂
I find it funny that you said "whenever you eat these cheeses over there you don't get salmonella EVERY TIME". I have been eating all sorts of european cheese (not the maggots one, can't vouch for that) for over 40 years now and NEVER had any health issues related to it, salmonella or otherwise. Probably my cholesterol got higher and my lactose intolerance certainly doesn't approve of it (can't help it, portuguese cheeses are just too good 😆), but never serious immediate problems. Milk I do prefer the pasteurized one but that's just because it lasts longer and I find it more practical.
A shame they don't treat high-powered firearms the same as lawn darts
Yeah so they ban lawn darts because it's killed and injured a few kids( a bit more than a few truly), yet they will not ban firearms that kill far more children every single day - go figure......idiots!
US Legislators: 'You can't have Kinder Surprise because children."
Wait until those legislators find out about guns ... because children.
Americans have a constitutional right to be stupid, and no one can take that stupidity away from them
The USA is ranked 22nd in the World Freedom and Rights Index. The UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia , Ireland are just some of the countries that are rated higher. Most of those mentioned are in the top 10 of the World Freedom and Rights Index. EDIT- America wasn't always 22nd one time they actually made it up to 16th. Meanwhile in the same time frame Australia went from 4th to 9th . Therefore Australia during lockdowns still had more rights and Freedom than the USA pre pandemic . " America had the highest death toll in the world outstripping all 3rd world countries as well as countries less developed with upto 4 × the population. The second worse result was Brazil who copied the American system. If America's death toll was the same as Australia, per capita , there would be over 800 000 more Americans alive today . Blindly following podcasters and conspiracy theorists led to a death toll in America only surpassed by the civil war . If Freedom was an Olympic event Australia would usually make the finals , America would enter the Paralympics and maybe get a medal .
I have the impression that many Americans live in a kind of bubble where they believe they are alone in the world or just the best, without realizing that they are living in an open-air prison.
They are manipulated to believe that elsewhere it is prehistory when in their own country they are still in 1850. sad.
And they have the world biggest Incaration rate, no other country has more prisoners per capita as the USA.
how dare they ???
This is the dumbest take I've ever seen. Being obese led to higher death tolls since actual data shows obese people were the first to go. Being healthy, like those "podcasters" and "conspiracy theorists" were telling everyone, lowered your chances. 99.7% survival rate if you got it as well. Those in the media who got it and got over it quickly were vilified by the commies you support.
Also, UK, Canada and the other heavily socialist countries are not "more free" than the US. You get arrested for "online hate speech" in the UK. People have been arrested in Canada for "misgendering" someone. Sorry but that silly "index" shows nothing.
The Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland) are in the top 10 in the freedom and rights index. Something to think about when people in the US call US communists.
Belgian here we have tons of french cheese here and never got sick from cheese
Germany here. I confirm 👍
When I worked in a kitchen on the south coast of England, we had a "cheese man". I never learnt his name, we just called him cheese man. And he drove to us with a van full of hundreds of cheeses from all over Europe. Some were so delicious (some are not so nice), and they never made our customers sick.
@@jamesoshea580 Yes i mean hundreds of years of experience to make that cheese and when people would have died or get really sick in a row there wouldn't be a market left.
I heared it wasn't directly linked to unpasteurised milk but more because of a trade fight between the USA and the EU for denying imports of US produced pork or something. But i'm not so sure about that.
There are so many different amazing cheeses, especially in France an Switzerland!
Btw: 'ou' in Gouda is the same as in house
@@la-go-xy No, the type of cheese he calls Gouda is definately pronounced Goeda. It's got nothing to do with the Dutch cheese. The USA doesn't recognise EU protected cultural food classifications. USA Goeda has got a different production process from Dutch Gouda. Another reason why this type of cheese is illegal to import to the EU.
Yeah Jaywalking doesn't exists in most European countries, though some are more strict than others. Like it said in the video, there is No jaywalking in Norway, and you are free to cross the roads where ever you want as long its allowed to walk there. What do exists though is any vehicle *must* stop for pedestrians crossing the road at the designated crossings (usually zebra stipes and even Lights. Or some can be marked by just a sign), failure to do so will grant you a hefty fine and sometimes even loss of driving privilege for some time if the violation is really bad. Works pretty good especially for the pedestrians.
It;s the same in the UK, if you are crossing a side street and a car turns in, it MUST stop to let you cross.
America keeping kids safe 🤔😂
need to change the second amendment then.
The Second Amendment makes the USA "Free", you could remove all rights and the USA will still be "Free" due to the Second Amendment. Because that is the most important thing to being "Free" apparently.
That is just stupid
An amendment that can not be changed!!
@garyiow8482
@@robertmurray8763 It would indeed be a bit strange if you couldn't change an amendment to the constitution with an amendment to the constitution.
Can't they just have Lawn Darts under the 2nd amendment, something about being able to have weapons?
the second amendment is stupid and irrationnally anti-etilist and i'm not even anti-firearm
Im Australian and as kids we were never allowed to eat Kinder Surprises without supervision. Parents just sat with us and hyped up the toy surprise and helped build it. I 100% understand the choking risk but like just watch your kids open the chocolate
This is interesting, because as kids mum always helped us open them and was with us at the time.
I never questioned why, lol, it was just how we did it.
But I guess the choking risk was the reason why! (also an Australian here)
@Sussex192 Same here! I never questioned it until I was an adult and learned about the us laws a while back. Bit of a light bulb moment that made me grateful for the people around me at the time. I was an "Ooooo what's this! Let me taste it" kid.
Lol we don’t do micro parenting here in Norway as it’s basically seen as child abuse. I grew up on kinder eggs back in the 90’s and they would never supervise or open it for us. That’s half the fun. And it only makes sense if you gave it to a toddler who puts anything in their mouth if given the chance, which makes no sense because why would you give it to someone that young? Or give a toddler candy? If you said this to a Norwegian they would laugh you in the face thinking you’re insane🤣🤣🤣 Never heard of anyone here choking or dying of kinder eggs…
Kids would have to have a big mouth and wide Esophagus to swollow those toys, 😁.
If a child is over 2 years old and cant distinguish between the chocolate shell and the toy in the middle... then your child is handicapped pretty severely, and you should abandon the thought of other children needing the same supervision 😂.. 😂
With the kinder eggs if children are choking on the toys means lack of parental control
Kinder eggs are dangerous but children playing with guns is ok? 😂😂😂😂
If these stats proof that these products should not be available in the USA, then also cigarettes, alcohol, candy, darts, skateboards, roller skates. skates, bikes, all types of vehicles, glass doors, bathroom tiles, soap, guns, knifes, steps, stairs, and so on should be banned. All of those injure and kill more children and people in general than the food and toys mentioned in the video.
Kinder surprise dangerous and bad for children, assault rifles bullets aren’t . Scratching my head on this one
European healthy food (compared to food made in the USA) is also prohibited in the USA 😁 It's all because of how the health service works in the EU and the US . Of course, American corporations "sponsoring" American politicians have their share in this matter 😁
If a small kid manages to swallow the inner egg somehow, it should also be able to survive it. To be precise, the child would survive pretty much anything - except perhaps what is also sold as food in the US. ;-)
@@marcromain64 I have given these chocolate eggs to my nephews more than once and they have never swallowed anything . You need to understand what toy you give to children at what age 😁
An unhealthy population = A prosperous health industry.
In Australia they have made massive pushes to try stomp out smoking. The average 20 pack of cigarettes is now $50 AUD per pack. They have also banned all smoking inside buildings and sporting complexes. You have to be a certain distance from entries to buildings if you are smoking etc. We also have photos of " Dead Bryan " on our cigarette packs. Who is a Florida man that died of lung cancer
You should check out the Aussie tv show “Border Security “ to see how strict we are about things coming in to the country lol
If you think Australia is tough on plant & animal imports you should check out New Zealand border Patrol shows, I got pulled up once of a varnished picture frame that was taken from me even with varnished wood being listed as legal on the declaration. Was told it was because of the type of wood but I doubt it because the friend I was traveling with had the same frame but his guard let it through.
@@TheFalconerNZ yeah I’ve seen the NZ show too! They are both crazy lol
Yep plants and animals banned, but if you are an Islamic terrorist come right in!
The new ones I've been watching are Border Control Sweden & Border Control Spain. The biggest thing was stopping people from transporting dairy items and meat items in their cases. It was crazy the things people were transporting frozen meats that had defrosted and had gone off. The last episode had an abandoned case and it was stinking and was full of maggots. Gross.
Yeh I know it's terrible these people protecting billions of dollars worth of industry instead of allowing you to bring in something to eat or hang on your wall and other very important things. 🤔🤔🤡🤡
About the Kinder Eggs. My brother and I build the toys under supervision of our parents. Later we build them by ourselves
And what is wrong with the US...? Several kids did die in Denmark on a playground. We do not rebuild or close the playground. Sh*to happens.....unfortunately
In The Netherlands, every year drunk people wander into a canal and some don't make it out alive. Instead of putting huge fences around the canals or filling them in, he (yes) shouldn't have been so stupid to get so drunk that he wasn't aware of his surroundings anymore. Why he? Because they like to piss in the water and then lose their balance and fall in. Women don't do that. We don't cut down a row of trees next to the road either because someone speeding decided a tree was a good way to fold up his car in a tiny package. Yes. Again. His.
American Drug industry has a monopoly on everything Americans buy, no cheaper overseas drugs, you MUST buy American drugs, it's the law.
Here in my part on England there are two traditional cheeses that we regard as local. Blue Stilton, which is pierced before ripening starts to promote a tasty blue mould growth inside the cheese and Red Leicester, which is coloured a dark orange.
lol. Kinder eggs a threat to kids lives, but the USA started the happy meal (with small toy) trend, and what about all the dangerous food additives which are banned in just about every other country. Hypocrisy of the highest order.
Umerica The only country I can think of that should come with a warning 😆✌️
the violent racism and fascism should constitute a warning to more sensible people but ok.
The Kinder egg issue is dependent on the interpretation of the word "embedded" which I am sure has been argued in the US courts. In my own humble opinion embedded means forming part of the structure and not separate from it, whereas the toy in Kinder eggs is in a separate plastic container.
This law would also make illegal the British tradition of hiding a coin in a Christmas pudding. Finding the coin in your slice of the pudding is regarded as lucky, not a choking hazard! Before they were withdrawn from circulation, the con used was a silver sixpence, 19.41 mm in diameter (just over 3/4 inch) and 0.5mm thick (about 1/50th inch)
Let's not forget that the opening of the Kinder Surprise eggs was most often done under adult supervision, because you usually needed an adult to open the container and assemble the toy . This is a big part of what makes them great family devices . As an adult I was always amazed and intrigued by the astounding variety of things they could create to fit inside that little space !!
Those yellow capsules can be pretty impossible for an adult 🙄
there are warnings on the kinder surprise package it says that young kids should be superviced while consuming the eggs. so my question is 'Why are people Not watching their kids in the us' this is not an issue anywhere else....
Perhaps they are illiterate, we hear that education isn't marvellous in the USA?
For 50 years I've been eating all kinds of cheeses over here in France, and I've never been sick even once from that. As a matter of fact, we're actually, at this very moment, enjoying a very nice cheese platter with all sorts of very smelly cheeses, and a nice bottle of wine. PS: I would never eat anything that has insects anywhere close.... Disgusting...
One cheese tastes like an ant. How do I know that? One day while riding my bike I had something in my mouth which I bit. After the disgusting taste I spat the thing out and it was a tiny ant.
Some time after that we had a cheese taste test at school and one of them tasted like that ant I bit into lol
@@Gamesta100 I never hate an ant. I wouldn’t know…. All cheeses taste different. That’s why there are thousands of them in France. 😉
In the Netherlands you used to have to take the zebra if you were within 40 meters. But nobody cared of course, we're not Germans. This came together with changes in the liabitlity laws, both civil and criminal, to protect vulnerable traffic users. That basically results in the difference that a car or bicycle has to stop when someone is about to cross the zebra, but without a zebra the car driver has to avoid accidents or danger. So pedestrians forcing a car to stop on purpose crossing the street without using a zebra hardly ever happens. It happens but by accident, not paying attention.
Same in Czech Republic.
As a Norwegian I can’t relate. Grew up on kinder eggs back in the 90’s, and never choked or heard anyone dying from doing so. It’s not a hazard unless giving it to a toddler who puts anything in their mouth, which is a given. So they should probably be supervised, but everyone else knows to not put plastic parts or toys in their mouths.
I'm English and I agree. Unless you have a child who sticks any old small objects in their mouth, I don't see a need for supervision. Regardless, they will encounter small toys every day of childhood. People aren't giving these eggs to babies, or at least I hope not.
As a Norwegian I can tell you you are wrong! The eggs are deadly. Jeg har ingen aning om hvor mange ganger æ har bitt opp et egg og kjent lokket skytes inn i kjeften for å sette seg fast
I went to France in 2016 and omg THE CHEESE. It was amazing, pretty much any cheese you wanted you could get on anything on the go. So so good. Also in NSW jaywalking is only an offence If you cross a road within 20m of a pedestrian crossing. An exception for pedestrians who have just gotten off a tram or public bus. It explains why I've never seen anyone get pulled up for it. The maximum fine for it is $220. So yeah, as long as you take the shortest and safest route then you're good
How unconscious you were to eat animal cheese, animal food is dangerous 😄
@@melaniezette886 If this is a vegan thing then you do you. If it's a maggot cheese thing then I didn't go looking for that, I wouldn't ever lmao

Land of the free? Not even free to cross the road. Lol
i live in the netherlands, i usely buy mine cheese straight from the farmer, , tourists from the states do a tour sometimes at the farm, always get the question if they can bring it back to the states. farmcheese is unpasturized milk, straight from the cow. but so much more flavour.
In the Netherlands you can cross the street anywhere, but you have to yield to the cars, unless it's a cross walk, then the cars gave to yield to you (unless regulated with some traffic lights). One other exception is when a person has mobility problems, like needing a cane to walk or a walker, you need to yield to them if they show intent to cross the road, cross walk or not.
Sardinian here, we really eat the "rotten cheese" and is delicious (and noone ever died for it, and in Sardinia there is one of the five world's blue zone, where there is an high density of people over the age of 100)
do you take the maggots out of it, or eat it with the maggots? I assume the maggots already did their job when the cheese is eaten?
@anashiedler6926 we eat the maggots, but don't think of full size worm "maggots", they are really tiny (2 mm maximum, 0.079 of an inch for imperial friends) and they are completely white (or let's say, cheese's colour), so you'll see those only if you are looking for them, otherwise if you put the cheese in the bread, is like eating cream cheese, a bit spicy.
Another way to see the maggots is to put the cheese in the fridge (inside a sealed container), all the maggots will leave the cheese and die in the container, then you can eat the "rotten cheese", but without the maggots (but really, you can't feel or taste the maggots, so no one here do it, or, for better saying, no one do it to kill the maggots, only to preserve the cheese from the heat, otherwise it stinks)
@@Milleisol Well... NO... Everyone has a limit, this is mine... :-)
@@Milleisolrespect for the culture and it would maybe taste great but ir's the mind that would withold me from ever trying.
I will take my old amsterdam(dutch old cheese)😅.
But respect and enjoy yours👍
If you think ground dryed worms and scorpions are mixed with beverage like tequila, people eating snails, insects being eaten in many parts of the world and a lot of sea life being eaten raw or still alive.... and then people get yucky about something as "novel" as cricket flour for instance.... maybe they simply don't have a lobby as powerful as those for that tobacco, arms, or motor cars, etc
In the UK it's traditional to put a coin in the Christmas pudding. Getting the coin meant you had good luck the next year... It's surprising those with brains actually checked what they were putting in their mouth before swallowing a coin... Seems it was a precursor to the Darwin awards, and a lesson learned easily if anyone actually taught them to monitor their food intake KNOWING something is in there...
We have the same tradition in France with "la galette des rois", wu put a mini character in it, and everyone, kids too, know there is something in this "galette", so no trouble.
In Spain we have "Roscón de Reyes" with two small figurines, a little king (if you get it you are the king of the day and it symbolizes good luck and a hard bean that means that you have to pay the Roscón.
Done in some households in Oz too
My grandmother had a special shilling coin (Au, and this is 30yrs after decimalisation) that found its way into many desserts, from plum pudding to lemon cake. Good luck, yes, but it also meant you were in Charge of doing the dishes. Was a bit of a game, if you got the coin, try and slip it into your sister/cousin/whoever is near dessert. Wasn't a big deal, because we generally all chipped in on those chores anyway. But a silly game to make family dinners a bit more fun.
@@arjovenzia I kept a "lucky penny" (1/12 of your grandmother's shilling) pre-decimalisation UK. It's as old as I am. It used to be a shilling that they put in the Christmas puddings. They've been around since 1502.
kids buy kinder eggs for the toy not the chocolate
The Data speaks for itself theres way more food poisinig cases in America then Europe -.-
Number of European choking fatalities caused by children ingesting small toy part inside Kinder Eggs since 1974: a handful. Compared to choking fatalities caused by ingesting small toy parts in other toys on the market: negligible. Compared to gun-related child deaths in the US: infinitesimal.
Owning a gun in australia. A person must have a firearm licence to possess or use a firearm. Licence holders must demonstrate a "genuine reason" (which does not include self-defence) for holding a firearm licence and must not be a "prohibited person". All firearms must be registered by serial number to the owner.
I want to know how is it even possible to have cheese in a can. We get cream cheese in a glass jar but cheese in a whip can OK 🤣.
Reason why I couldn't live in the US.
As a French, I can't live without unpasteurised cheese xD
Some of these laws in the US against foods and even games make me laugh and cry at the same time. They’ll ban chocolates and toys / games where as few as 7 children get killed in a year but won’t ban guns that kill hundreds every year!!! Get your priorities sorted out!!!
In the 80s I got this chemistry set for children, got me extracting mercury/quicksilver from the provided plant parts containing mercury. Was taken away from me after some weeks as my parents found out the set contained mercury. Now I am still amazed they sold sets for children playing with mercury.
I love unpasteurised cheese. Obviously we all have to sign a legal liability disclaimer whenever we buy unpasteurised cheese in Europe, there's nothing worse at the check out than having to call your lawyer and holding up the queue.
🤣
👍🤣
about the kinder eggs, there are many people who collect the toys inside the kinder eggs.
like collector cards, there are also toys in verry small numbers that collectors pay a lot of money for.
There's a running joke about tourists trying "smuggle" the Kinder Eggs into the USA; we call it the Kinder Cartel 😆
Correct me if I'm wrong: I understand that when Americans say their country is freer than others they don't mean "freedom!" as the rest of the world understands it. They mean that it is easier to do business and open a business there (they are right about this, they have on average less bureaucracy than a European country). In this sense, China has also become more "free".
We Europeans, by "freedom" instead, mean civil rights, representativeness, public health, etc.
Nah. Several Americans think that the world around them is a "socialist" dictatorship hellscape where people can't do anything either because of laws or administrative hoops or lack of things.
Also, because they have their own vision of freedom.
Can't kill someone trespassing on your property? You're not free!
Can't homeschool your kids without any supervision from any authority? You're not free!
Can't drive a jacked up 25 tons, rolling coal, armoured pick-up truck? You're not free!
And of course, Can't carry a loaded gun with you anywhere you go? You're not free.
They apply their own freedom and if they can't do it, then it's not free. And the freedom other have? they don't know about them, or dismiss them as not true freedoms, because only the American freedom is true freedom.
It reminds me of a video by an American living in the UK "Yes it's true, in the UK we don't have freedom of speech. We have freedom of expression!" Big difference.
Also, the bureaucracy thing may have been true before, but from what I hear from American friends, it's no longer true. And even if it may be more simple, for some jobs or fields, you have to apply for a State licence and a city licence, then you pay taxes to the city, state and Federal government. Separately. So it's more simple but done 3 times (and OFC each level of administration have their own requirements).
In America or should I say The U.S.A its okay to put a gun in a childs hands but not a kinder egg...who makes your laws
I can see why there are "Jaywalking" rules now with the number of stupid people stuck to their phone screens while crossing roads
The problem sort of takes care of itself
Kinder eggs: illegal - but kids can use guns?? Kinder Eggs killed 6 kids in the US, how many died from being shot cause their parents had a gun at home? Hey kids - have a Maconalds, perfectly healthy and totally fine.
Penn DOT does not specifically call out jaywalking. A matter of fact it states something to the fact that pedestrians can cross a road where ever they want. It does call out requirements for both pedestrians and motorists to follow traffic devices when at a crossing with said devices, and also calls out drivers are responsible to yield pedestrians in crosswalks. The reverse is true when a pedestrian crosses where there is no crosswalk, and they have to yield to motorists. I always look at it that the pedestrian has to use common sense, as they will be the one who loses the battle in a vehicle-on-person collision.
Never seen a lawn dart in my life, but agreeing because it's dangerous, while guns are totally fine sounds a bit weird to me. The chance of harming kids by giving every and each one of them some Uranium is much lower.
played with real bow and arrows when younger, and when at my dads he got me brother real carbon crossbow both were deadly and crossbow very rare if at all supervised, my mums house mostly watched but they real bow arrows made for shows at castles made by a pro, but when we had eyes taken off us we did put odd arrow in house back yard far end field, HS gone mad these days
Cigarettes in Hungary are sold in uniform colour boxes, the manufacturers can't put any logos, or images on them, they are sold in brown boxes, the brand and the type are printed on the box with generic white letters, so you can't tell the brands apart only if you read the label. All flavoured cigarettes are banned, including menthol, and disposable vapes are also banned. The only images on the box are very graphic images of the damage that cigarettes can cause for example lung cancer surgery, or cut open throats of people who died because of smoking, but all these preventive measures can't stop people from smoking, and smoking is still a very common and accepted thing here.
I forgot tho mention that anything containing nicotine, and anything that is used for smoking(rolling paper, filters) can only be sold at a licensed tobacco store. These stores have to use the same logo all across Hungary, and there are many other very strict rules for them to follow, including the rule that you can't even enter one of these stores if you are under 18, which is the legal age to purchase tobacco products here
sigh.. not growing up as a child with kinder eggs is like not growing up with happy meals
About the differences between food & related stuff, it all comes down to how the US allows companies to favors mass production & profits over anything, where most of the rest of the world is at the point where they realize what you really want is sustainability (& stuff you can ask a premium price for (so can afford to produce less off))
Very easy example is pesticides for crops & chemicals given to farm animals, you can use those to get bigger yields etc, but you lose quality/add hazards to human health & this can be taken to a point where the product is "amazing" from a business perspective, but "unsafe to consume".
In the US you're much more allowed to grow/farm/etc something unsafe _as long as you then turn it into something that meets the requirements_ but in most of the world (and definitely the EU) you are (95% of the time) not allowed to grow/farm/etc something unsafe in the first place, meanwhile the very definition of safe/unsafe is much stricter during production so in the end you have a safer product that has lower shelf life and/or yield but simply needs less safety measures tacked onto it.
So we end up with weird disagreements about meat and cheese and bread etc, because we don't want a bunch of weird chemicals in the end product and you don't understand why we don't use chemicals as safety measures like you do 🤷♂
Here in Portugal it's only legal to cross a street outside of the designated crossing places as long as the spot where the pedestrian is crossing is more than 50m away from the nearest crosswalk but it's their duty to make sure they can cross safely. In this case drivers don't have to yield to them, only in the designated crossing places. However, this is not considered jaywalking, the concept of jaywalking only applies to pedestrians who cross the street less than 50m away from the nearest crossing place. This rule, however, is kind of dumb because it doesn't take into account that no pedestrian can eyeball accurate distances. Are they supposed to carry a 50m measuring tape with them to make sure they're not jaywalking? 😆
Here in Finland the rule is basically the same, except there is no set number of meters in our law. It just says that if there is no pedestrian crossing, underpass or overpass nearby, then you can cross where you want. So typically ambiguous by the lawmakers and I don't know how the police interprets this law. How far away is "nearby"?
Similar in Australia. I think it's within 20m of a dedicated crossing or street corner you have to cross there otherwise unless signed or barriers in the middle etc you can cross where you like but more responsibility falls on the pedestrian to be safe.
@@hazeman4755 - Lol, you're even more screwed than us! Imagine a police officer trying to give you a fine because you were nearby enough to use the crossing! 😄
At least 50m can be measured if the police really want to fine a pedestrian, which is something so rare that the definition of rare should be "pedestrians fined for jaywalking in Portugal". 😅
He had this rule in France until recently, but now it's gone. There are still pedestrian crossing so people are more safe but you can cross a street anywhere, and of course outside of cities, there are no pedestrian crossings so anything goes. Except on the freeways of course, pedestrian, bicycles and even mopeds are forbidden.
Drivers don't have to yield? Here it's common sense to let pedestrians pass when already on the street. Do you insist your right of way? Do you make them run? Drive them over? I can imagine that this is the game idea of Frogger. Probably a U.S. game, I don't look it up.
Having guns in the Us is legal, not cerain cheeses.😅
Children can choke on small objects, no matter what. Compare kindereggs with lego blocks and be surprised!
Gouda cheese is available pasteurized and unpasteurized, the last one called boerenkaas (farm cheese), which is, of course, forbidden in the US.
So as a tourist to the US be very well aware what is allowed and what not, even when it is for own use.
French here, and in more than 40 years eating cheese, never once got salmonella...
Kinder surprise thing is so hilarious ..
This maggot cheese is always shown in that context - but I guess 99% of people in Europe have never seen any, let alone eaten it. But there are a number of raw milk cheeses that are much less questionable that get sold here, and there are no waves of people falling ill from it. I guess a fair part of the restictive import laws in the US origins simply in eliminating competition from abroad.
On the other hand, those "lawn darts" are really not a toy for children. The ancient Romans had a weapon that was very similar: a big dart with a lead weight, which they would throw in large numbers at formations of enemy soldiers. Similar to how arrows were used, to create confusion and fear among the enemy. I really wonder who had the brilliant idea that such darts would make a great toy.
At this point, the Corsican variant of the maggot cheese, casgiu merzu, is more of a tourist prop for mainlander tourists visiting the island. People take pictures of it, but few eat it. Of course, Corsicans complain that their culture is being overlooked but in reality, very few of them would look at it, let alone consume it. It's traditional only to a few villages in the southernmost part of Corsica that's closest to Sardinia, its real homeland. To me, it's repulsing!
@@Sayitlikitiz101 Yeah, it's always mentionned, but much like other famous "special" food like sürstromming and harkal, it's really only a curiosity and not a staple or even a "traditionnal" food. In fact casgiu merzu is even "worse" since it's illegal to sell (as Legal eagle fairly mentionned) where sürstromming and harkal can be sold and are manufactured on a small scale at least.
One of the funniest things about 'Muricans is that so many of them believe they are the most free country in the world, in reality they're ranked about 15.
Guns and (cross)bows are oké and no to lawn darts ???? .......Typical the American way !
if no car is coming, it's fine.
In the US, depends on the states. Even if police don't care, jaywalking is generally prohibited in most states.
In most European countries, there's no such concept and/or crime against "jaywalking"
Under Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, it's legal to cross all road, except motorways or some expressways.
But you can still buy guns like candy. Go figure..
The EU laws about crosswalks has actually increased the number of accidents and many fatal. EU says that the driver has to give way to the person walking on the crosswalk but the result of that is people dont look where they are walking and just step right out on the road not knowing if the driver have even seen them. The old rules for pedestrians still apply, you still need to stop and show that you want to cross the road and make eyecontact with the driver. Too often the ties in Brussels dont think things all the way thru!
Same thing with how to drive in roundabouts, the old Swedish rules worked much better. Now roundabouts are a f-ing mess...
Jaywalking is a funny one to me. Here, in my smallish Texas city, people walk wherever they want with no issue.
Flawoured cigaretes are banned in EU (it usually is soaked in filter, on in a capsule), banning flawours was unfortunate, but banning menthol cigaretes
+ nowdays one cannot read how much nikotine/CO is in, cuz the tab that used to be on a pack is now replaced with brand name or something, cuz there is pickture of lung cancer, blind eye, ect. (which is funny because none of the pictures is from a smoker)
I drive a few times during the year to a shop 5 miles away that sell chees. Only chees. Between 100 and 120 typs of chees from eight countrys. And you show seven ?
The romans used something resembling the Lawn Darts as a individual based throwing weapon, known as Plumbata
So much for USA FREEDOM!!!🤣😂
FDA rulers heads would explote if they heard here, in Spain we eat Roscón de Reyes at Reyes day (Three Kings day, 6th January). It's a cake that contains not one but two small objects: a ceramic bite size figurine and a hard bean. If you get in your piece of cake the figurine you are the king all day and it symbolizes good luck and if you get the bean you have to pay the cake.
Not that you get it wrong, I wouldn't necessarily want to eat the maggot cheese (unless I had nothing else to eat) but the maggots only ate cheese and converted it into maggot protein. Presumably the maggots release some kind of fermentant that gives the cheese a special taste!?
Just the thought of it makes me want to chunder, lol. 🤮
Wouldn't they convert it into maggot poo?
In the EU menthol cigarettes etc are banned since may 2020, vapes with different tastes than tobacco are banned in the Netherlands since 1 january this year, and also crossing the road when there is a pedestrian crossing near can be fined with 80 euro, but this only happens when this is dangerous.
Anti walking was a big business plan, read car industry and American state and federal governments foolishly went along with it.
Gouda is pronounced as gowda; gow like in how.
And the G is not an english dzjee but a dutch one. Don’t try without practicing.
So but Guns would not harm anyone.......
Lawn darts are very dangerous much more than bullets 😂😂😂
In Sweden we have a thing called Snus. It's a small pouch of tobacco you put under your upper lip.The new thing is non tobacco nicotine flawored variants like Zyn that are very popular with young people, and apperently Tucker Carlson.... People use this instead of smoking, many people use it to quit smoking without qutting the nicotine kick.
