YESS KINDER EGGS LEGAL NOW.

You don't understand. The mindset is "I (or my child or other loved one) got injured or killed. Somebody's got to pay!"
And if the courts agree that the big bad corporation is somehow to blame, then that takes away my guilt and lets me sleep at night.
People don't like taking responsibility for anything, and obviously don't like paying, either.

Someone had to point that out. I mean come on, what does it say of a nation when it bans chocolates with toys in them because someone might eat the toy?

...or maybe I don't need an answer to that. Long gone are the days when I thought America was all awesome.
