Actually, if you subtract out us Vegans, and Vegetarians who only eat cheese sparingly, the average consumed amount per person who eats it would be higher.
I’m American. After my Australian husband had eaten in US restaurants a couple of times, he looked up from his menu, and said “Do Americans put cheese on EVERYTHING?” I was shocked for a moment and then I realized, yes, we pretty much do.
I'm American and I had some antique books from the 1800s and I currently have a 1919 Good Housekeeping magazine. This is the first time I've heard of a ban on books printed before 1985.
The ban is on lead in items intended for children. Law was poorly worded so it got applied to books unintentionally. Ink used to be made with lead in it. This is not a real problem with books unless you chew on the inked letters on the page. Babies and toddlers chew on everything, including books. Go ahead and read your antique books. Let your older children read them. Keep them away from kids who chew books. Teach your kids proper book etiquette: treat books gently, don't tear the pages, don't crumple the pages, don't scribble on the pages, and don't eat or chew on them.
You can get fresh non-refrigerated eggs directly from farms who keep fresh eggs for local consumption. This is one of the reasons mass corporate production is often inferior to getting products locally.
When you think about it the system actually favors small farms in the US. Since big corporations can’t do this the market is completely controlled by family owned farms.
If the chickens the eggs come from are not vaccinated against salmonella all the local farmers are doing is allowing you to sidestep a law that is meant to protect you! I don't see how a higher risk of getting salmonella can possibly considered a good thing.
For my family if we buy eggs from the grocery store we refrigerate them. But if we buy eggs from a local farmer we don't. The reason we do this is stated in the video. But I personally like getting local eggs better
The thing with products in America still containing lead is the fact that we get a lot of products from China and a lot of those factories cheap out and go for lead based paints or lead in their plastics.
You gotta remember that per year is 365 days. And a lot of foods like cheeseburgers, pizza, grilled cheese, cheesy soup, we got a lot of cheese stuff. And it's "average" as in, not everyone, just a general average.
Ok so I found that 1 pound of sliced cheese is 24 slices. So it averages to a little more than 2 slices of cheese a day, which I dont think it that crazy lol
@@maemarie3926 I don't know, that is still a lot of cheese. It explains the obesity (and heart disease and diabetes and etc etc) epidemic in the US for sure.
@@aj897 while true, “comfort food” is a subjective term. “Comfort food” is food that someone chooses that makes them feel calm or like their childhood or something their mom, dad, grandma, granddad, etc used to make… my comfort food is not going to be someone else’s comfort food. But it’s still comfort food. A hot bowl of tomato soup is someone’s idea of comfort food… but it’s not mine. Still makes it comfort food.
Love the cherry-picked stats on eggs/salmonella. Most infections are not causes by eggs, and the proper way to compare infections would be per capita as opposed to total cases as we do have 350 million people here. ""There are lies, damned lies and statistics." - Mark Twain"
In recent years here in the Midwest the MAJORITY of salmonella poisoningcases have been from salads and improperly handled MEAT not eggs.... And it's been traced either back to the farms in S. California or mishandling in factory for the meat.
The presenter says one million Americans got salmonella in a year, but he did NOT say it was from bad eggs. The lead issue with regard to books only affects books intended to be sold for children to use. It does not affect other books, including collectible books.
It was a bit misleading. Most salmonella in the US comes from unsanitary practices at restaurants and food producers. Not from eggs. Only about 1% come from bad eggs.
@@ravenmills7777 Salmonella comes from the intestines of other animals. When it's produce that is making people sick, it's most likely from the fertilizer used to feed the plants.
@Darci Stephenson Thank you. This is good to know about egg handling and storage. I'm guessing you haven't had a problem with egg stability or wholesomeness since you're still handling your eggs this way. 🐓🥚👍
The additional reason for keeping eggs cold is the shipping over distances through cool and warm climates, the blanket law is Federal. Getting eggs from a farm is the best way, nice a fresh and unwashed, you can keep those out for a decent length of time. Haggis actually tastes really good and you can get non-traditional in the US made locally without the lung tissue. Haggis is, after all sausage with a bad PR agent. In the case of books, they're just referring to retail books, not collector.
@@aussieragdoll4840 Yes, it does wash the cuticle off the egg, changing anything on nature's perfect package can't be a positive. Hopefully, more local egg production will happen in the future on a smaller scale and they can change this.
Great Britain is the size of Illinois. Ireland is 2/3rds the size of Indiana. Eggs are regional, like within a US county. No temperature changes, no real shipping.
I eat more than 1.5 Oz per serving.. I pour shredded cheese on almost everything.. mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, French fries, spaghetti, scrambled eggs, tacos, salads, subs, etc.. pretty much everything.. and I never get constipated from eating too much cheese.. I guess my body processes cheese better than most peoples bodies do..🙂
@@stonehaven2289 Constipation is usually not the issue with lactose intolerance 🤣 I am lactose intolerant and what I have found is that melted cheese is much harder on my stomach than cold cheese. I don't know if maybe cooking it brings out the lactose? But it makes a big difference for me.
With the books people are forever selling old books at garage sales, thrift stores and flea markets and online. I had never even heard of this rule and have bought identical copies of books I'd had as a child online I was born in the 70's and most of my childhood books were bought at garage sales and thrift stores and were from the 40's through the early 70's.
Believe it or not, cold eggs make a moister cake than room temperature eggs. I found this out by accident. When making a cake, I normally do not take the eggs out of the refrigerator until it's time to put them in a mixing bowl. One time I decided to use room temperature eggs and my normally moist cake was very dry and the only change I made was I didn't use cold eggs. When it comes to making cakes, i prefer cold eggs.
That makes a lot of sense actually. The colder the egg the longer the time it takes to dry out, wonder if adjusting the time could possibly result in a different creation?
I only use room temperature eggs to do my cakes and they are always moist, i'll try doing it with refrigerated eggs to see if there's any change in the end result🙂
Not to mention spoonfuls of cinnamon. Listen, if it can go into your mouth, you’re damned guaranteed someone somewhere will do it (no innuendo here either lol).
I haven't bought eggs in over 5 years (or ate a refridgerated egg at home). I raise a few chickens in my back yard and the eggs don't get washed and stay outside the fridge for weeks before eaten. They taste so much better than store-bought eggs.
@@darcistephenson5359 My sister had a few chickens she raised for eggs. They became pets so even if they couldn't lay eggs they weren't freeloaders. Unfortunately, she lost several to predators. (They had a well built hen house and run, but they roamed the whole 12 acre property during the day.) She gave the last one away because it was lonely. She hasn't gotten more because she's not able to properly care for them right now.
I've never actually heard of anyone getting sick from eggs, and almost every food poisoning outbreak that makes the news is either from meat (especially ground meat) or fruit and vegetables that were tainted during processing, usually by coming in to contact with contaminated water at some point. But never eggs
Every year we hear about salmonella cases from people eating raw cookie dough, but ironically, the contamination is as often because the flour itself was contaminated, and sat out for a few weeks, with a bit of moisture getting in. That, and the fruit and veg contamination are things that concern us all (even us Vegans).
@@rabbit_scribe one out if every 10,000 processed commercial eggs supposedly has salmonella thats why ypu can eat them raw still and rarely get sick, but there is much less of a chance getting salmonella from farm raised eggs unless the have bad practices .
Hmmm... part of of the discussion of storage needs to be "what is room temperature". People in cooler climates can leave butter out at "room temperature" - in much of the US, this would result in a plate of melted butter much of the year.
Thats a very important point! The UK is pretty cool most of the time, I imagine if it were the opposite putting our eggs in the fridge would probably be the norm to keep them from going bad too fast
@@kabirconsiders I have to wonder about eggs... I mean, I know people who raise chickens, and they certainly don't refrigerate them. But then, their eggs aren't getting shipped all over the place, and they are used up pretty quickly. I suspect that the US came up with a system, they've invested in it, and they don't want to re-think the entire process.
The Black Bear- go work a week of produce in your local grocery store. You will see what happens to these eggs when not refridgerated. Make sure you have something to cover your nose bc the smell will become toxic in no time. I worked retail for about 4 years. Eggs need to be kept cool or they rot…
@@bradkirchhoff8264 That's interesting, because having spent some time around chickens - on a non- industrial scale - I don't remember that happening in the space of a week. Rotten eggs are certainly no laughing matter... at least not up close and personal. I have to admit that you've piqued my curiosity enough that I'm going to check in with the folks I know who are still raising chickens.
It's the Thujone, a chemical present in wormwood, that's banned from alcoholic beverages in any significant quantity. This means that any absinthe sold in the USA isn't genuine absinthe. This parallels the ban on sassafras that resulted in traditional root beer being outlawed. Any root beer you can legally buy today has little to nothing in common with the drink of old.
@@trajectoryunown Anyone with access to a sassafras tree can make sassafras tea or rootbeer which is fermented sassafras tea just like ginger-ale. Not to mention Gumbo file' in cajun cooking with is dried ground sassafras leaves. It is by no means illegal or outlawed.
@@quix66hiya22 a Brand might have been discontinued but you are absolutely wrong about root beer and Gumbo File' being banned. Sassafras is a perfectly legal edible plant. Root beer is a perfectly legal drink here in the states you are absolutely incorrect please site your sources. PS I am drinking rootbeer right now.
'34 pounds of cheese' is usually included with other foods, like Burgers and Pizza. Not everyone eats cheese by itself. Can confirm, the Kinder Joy is basically just the Kinder Egg with the toy separate. Also can confirm that I am addicted to them.
We kept chickens when I was a kid and never refrigerated eggs, but store bought eggs have to be refrigerated because the protective coating is washed off processed eggs.
It seems to me, as an American, that we ban some things that aren’t a hazard and allow plenty of chemicals and such that are banned in the UK and EU that are actually hazardous. Kinder eggs, for example - how are British and European kids not choking on these things if they’re so hazardous? I lived in Canada for 5 years and so I’m very familiar with them. I don’t see why they’re any more hazardous than any other toy. The toy is clearly encased in a non-swallowable pod thing. And Kinder Joy are great, but I just love a Kinder Egg…
I agree it is a dumb application of the law. But the law has been in place since the 1930's. The law was introduced because of children choking on small toys in cereal boxes. Cracker Jack's was another product that lead to the law. Since they all started including the items in packaging. They got past the law. So why not Kinder eggs? Probably because they're French.
I think a lot of people use the "Europe bans this chemical so it MUST be bad!" line but don't consider that there are a lot of chemicals the US bans that Europe allows. A lot of it frankly depends on where the company that makes that chemical is located.
They may not “let” kids handle old books, but unless that book is under lock and key, I doubt much else will prevent a random kid from trying to get ahold of anything.
I was unaware of this book ban. It may help explain why I find it so difficult to find the books I loved reading to my daughters to read to their children ☹️
Yes the yoke stays together when its refrigerated I sell eggs takeing them from storage to store in chilled to home and chilled and if there in the cold it store they need to be chilled or bacteria will grow inside .the salmonella cases are from like mayo and chicken ect from restraunts and fastfood and honestly from leaveing the eggs out to long
I am a senior person and I remember when I was young our eggs in the grocery store were stacked up along side the cooler. I do remember we would have usually at least one bad egg per dozen. As an adult, I have never had a bad egg in any of my egg containers. 😊
I was taught to break my eggs into a separate cup or bowl, before adding them to whatever I was making, one at a time. Just in case one was bad it wouldn't ruin the whole thing
I was visiting in Ghana last month and the egg situation is the same there as in the UK. They are not refrigerated. The majority of the markets are open air there so the eggs are kept inside the store but out on the counter. When we got them home, my friends also kept them on the counter in the kitchen. The egg dishes they made for me were delicious, and I didn't have any concerns about it since the eggs were scrambled and cooked.
I worked with teens for about ten years after having been one myself. "Why?" was a common question that came to mind more than I'd like to admit when dealing with some of them. lol
34 pounds of cheese a year per person is about two thirds of a pound a week. That's a lot of cheese, but it's not insanely high, especially when you consider it includes cheese used for pizza, cheeseburgers, lasagna, etc. Also, there are probably a few people who consume huge amounts of cheese who bring up the average. It would be interesting to know the median value, which would be a better measure of how much cheese a typical person consumes. One thing that contributes to salmonella in eggs is that chickens are often crowded together in small cages in filthy conditions. If one chicken in a henhouse gets sick, it's likely they'll all get sick. California has passed laws requiring that chickens be given enough room to spread their wings and turn around in their cages, and by 2022 all eggs sold in California must come from cage-free hens. These measures will reduce the already small risk of salmonella in eggs sold in California. Salmonella in eggs is mostly a problem for people who don't cook them thoroughly, or who eat them raw (it's not just Rocky who does this). The most common way that people eat raw eggs is in mayonnaise. Eggnog is another food product made from raw eggs. Commercial mayo and eggnog manufacturers pasteurize their eggs, which kills salmonella and other bacteria. If you have a sous vide system, you can pasteurize your own eggs at home by setting the temperature to 135 F/ 57 C and submerging the eggs (in their shells, of course) for at least an hour and fifteen minutes (after the water has come up to temperature, of course). You asked why anyone would put magnets in their mouth. Babies will do this with almost anything, which is why parents have to keep them away from objects that are small enough to be swallowed. Teenagers might do it because, well, teenagers can have terrible judgment. BTW, the original meaning of "bucky ball" is a form of carbon where the atoms are in a nearly spherical crystal. The pattern of the atoms and the bonds between them is similar to that of a soccer ball. It was named after Buckminster Fuller, who invented the geodesic dome (which looks like one half of a bucky ball). Another name for bucky balls is "buckminsterfullerene,' or "fullerene" for short. I have seen imported canned haggis for sale in the U.S. I didn't look at the ingredient list. It's possible it's made without lungs for the American market.
That was a really interesting video. As a Canadian I immediately put my eggs into the fridge when I come home from the grocery store.. I never knew Europeans leave them out so I was quite surprised to hear that. As for the US’ cheese consumption I’m not surprised lol. I recall going to Michigan once on a multi day trip and remarked on how difficult it was to order anything in a restaurant without cheese in it. I even brought it up to my colleagues at the time remarking on how unusual it seemed to me.
Canadian here, also. My family has purchased eggs for 3 generations from a local farmer. Never put them in the fridge and never had salmonella. Just don't leave them where sun can get to them.
On the topic of banned cheeses, Camembert de Normandie is also banned. Basically, we have a ban on cheeses that are unpasteurized. I do believe that we do have a pasteurized version of this cheese, but we cannot have the genuine camembert. Another banned dairy product is clotted cream. The clotted cream familiar to Brits is unpasteurized, so illegal in the US. The doesn't stop some of us from making our own for ourselves, though. Regarding haggis, it's quite savory and tasty, but it really is a food that you either love or hate. I visited Scotland for a few weeks back in 2003. I toured the Famous Grouse distillery and had the opportunity to taste haggis in their on-site eatery. I happen to love haggis and wish I could have the real deal here in Texas.
Make friends with someone who raises and slaughters their own beef or mutton. You may be able to get the offal you need for the recipe. As I understand it, the lungs are the only ingredient banned.
When I was growing up, we had our own chickens and grew our own veggies. We kept the eggs in a bowl on the counter along with tomatoes, onion, garlic, and a lot of fruits and other veggies. There is nothing like fresh eggs and veg you have picked fresh from the garden. I miss it. Store bought food just doesn't taste the same.
Kinder Surprise is even better because it has two little hazelnut crunchy candies nestled on top of Nutella and some sort of creamy white ganache of some sort covering the whole affair. That and the little toy inside is pretty cool for the kids. Trust me, lots of us are are super happy they figured out this fairly simple fix to the issue our FDA has regarding Kinder Eggs.
We self cater when we go to UK and Ireland. The refrigerators are small because they have to shop frequently. Food does go bad much more quickly than the US due to shipping longevity considerations being paramount in the US. Food packets are small in the UK, as they go bad quickly. US has more traditions of ethnic foods that are spice, smoked, air dried to preserve. So Food was much more fresh, briefly very good. Loved the double cream. Very briefly good. Housing in the US is much more separate from the shops than in a lot of the UK, so a large shop to the supermarket is less frequent in the US than walking to the corner shop for some fresh food is in the UK. Really different housing and distance of shipping makes a huge difference in how our food is treated, and how we shop.
I remember my neighbor (a mechanic and handyman) had a textbook from the '60s that fully explained how to fully disassemble vehicles, cast your own parts, molds, etc. It's why many men were extremely knowledgeable about vehicles for a few generations. He'd damaged his in 1962, paid the school fine, but kept the book. It had diagrams for engines that could run at 30 miles to the gallon. Doesn't seem great right? Until you see that there was a notation to cut gasoline for them at roughly 1 part gas to 10 part filtered water. That means only a gallon of actual gas would be used for a 10-gallon tank. My mind was blown. Ford, Chevy, and GM sent representatives around to collect the books during a buyback program. The school got a hefty check from them to turn them in. Now in most high schools, more theory is taught than actual skill. Less and less is being taught and these folks that learned these skills are told unless they get certified or stay certified that they're not to use the skills outside of their home. It's crazy. This guy basically was regulated out of his job. He'd learned to be an actual mechanic in high school. He made plenty of money pipe fitting though. He'd cut, thread, and fit pipes of copper, PVC, etc. He'd help DIYers with projects. He lived comfortably when he could have been building engines. He built one for his son's moped but warned us not to be showing people it. I wonder what else has been gradually pulled off the shelves.
The poisons that have been used until very recent times can be pretty shocking. Lead is used in a lot of things, but commonly paint (and it used to be added to motor fuel (petrol/gasoline)) Arsenic was another paint compound - but also a "beauty" product - consumption of small amounts of arsenic will give your hair a glossy sheen! You still need to be careful about anything that glows in the dark - because some folks still use radium paint. And then there is always Cyanide - which was used in green paints and dyes - including at one time, food coloring!
Yup, lead oxides were THE most common white dye for a long while, and were a huge problem because they gave the paint a sweet aftertaste that kids would love to chew on. Titanium has replaced lead as the basis for most modern white dyes, which is still a little toxic, but not as toxic and most importantly not SWEET.
@@lllllllllllllllllllll1lll1 There are popcorn ceilings in the US that *AREN’T* laden with asbestos, because the style was still popular for a while after asbestos’s problems came to light-and there’s still the occasional person who actually likes the look or wants to use it to hide OTHER flaws in the ceiling so it is still occasionally made-but for obvious reasons a style that everyone associates with asbestos is not particularly popular in new construction.

When I buy eggs I buy at least 2 dozen eggs per trip and try to stretch out using the the eggs so I don't have to go back to the store often. So that's why I and most Americans refrigerate our eggs.

One thing you might not be thinking about on the egg part. The USA has.many different temperatures all over the states. Room temp in one place might work but other places could literally cook the egg in the shell.
I never heard about the book one, there are old books everywhere. The egg one still baffles me as to why the US does it, as it’s not like refrigerating eggs is something we’ve done for a long time, most people only got refrigerators in the past 80 years anyways, we basically made up a rule and refused to do the normal thing
The eggs are required to be washed before going to the market. The protective layer is washed off the egg and spoil faster if left out of refrigerator.
About the books, they were not referring to all books, just books marketed for children, antique and collectibles would probably not fall into this category. In regards to the eggs...British weather is mostly temperate although b it very soggy lol, leaving them out on the counter may not b harsh. How do countries with more torrid weather handle their juevos? Being a trained culinarian I would surmise keeping most perishables on the lower end of temperate "danger zone" to not aide in the rampant growth of harmful bacteria until can b cooked to an appropriate temperature.
Kinder Surprise are banned in the US because of the FDA regulation mainly because the toys are listed for certain ages. We do have chocolate surprise exactly like Kinder Surprise but I think the age limit on the toys inside is different. The video mentioned 2017 Ferro introduced the Kinder Joy, but I remember having Kinder Joy in Germany back in 2009. It may be that the company introduced Kinder Joy in the US market in 2017.
If you get eggs from chickens in your yard, there is no need to refrigerate. In third world countries, you may get some eggs with green poop on the shell (and sometimes with a nucleus or a drop of blood inside). In certain countries such as in the US, eggs are washed, that is how they look nice and uniform but washing eliminates a thin "membrane" that was referred here as "cuticle" (?) that protects the egg and without it, bacteria may enter the egg unless it is kept refrigerated.
When I had backyard chickens, we never washed the eggs, and kept them out on the kitchen counter. We also live in Texas, where summer temps regularly get over 100F. Our house was only cooled to 80F to save $$ and reduce our carbon footprint, and apparently that little bit of warmth was enough to allow development of fertilized eggs, and there was a distinct risk of getting half-formed chicks in your scramble if you didn’t crack each egg separately
I thought the vast majority of Americans who get Salmonella got it from undercooked chicken, or poorly processed chicken, or cross contamination from chicken.
I’ve actually never heard of anyone getting it from an egg. Some athletes drink raw eggs, and I’ve never heard of them getting sick from it. I’ve only heard of people getting it from raw or undercooked chicken.
Absinthe is not illegal in all states in the United States. Last time I have been to a liquor store in Vermont you can buy it. It wasn't about the hallucinations but back near the turn of the 20th century there was a rash outbreak across the globe of toxic absinthe which is potentially fatal to the consumer. I believe it was actual for a time the national drink of the United States as well as France. It was banned in the US because of this around the early 1900s. It being brewed in equipment that makes the product toxic. Much like toxic moonshine can be moonshine that is passed through a old car radiator which can infuse the moonshine with toxic components of anti freeze along with lead and other toxic metals from the radiator itself. Other than the feds not getting the tax money from the sale of the moonshine the other reason its illegal for individuals to produce and sell it without licenses is because of that. The least it can do is make you sick the worse is it can make you blind and even kill you. Toxic booze can be more fatal than overconsumption of normal booze.
I watched a midsommers murder drama the other night... It was about a murder with a cheese making farm.. they did have some sort of insect!!! Yuk... But seeing the first banned item it now makes sense.
Also we have Bacardi 151 that is over 75 percent alcohol!!! It's good as a starter drink or "shot" which in the states a standard shot is 30ml. However it can be a risky move if you have already consumed 6 alcoholic beverages. It could end your evening with getting sick! (Speaking from experience lol)
Refrigerated eggs can last 5 weeks from refrigeration date. Eggs normally get to market pretty quickly so I figure I got at least a month. I've put it to the test a few times and it held true for me every time. Books may have been "Grandfathered in". Yours...your responsibility.
I learnt from an Alaskan chicken farmer video that we should be storing our eggs pointy end down so that the air sac can protect the egg from bacteria. He says non-refrigerated eggs last four weeks, whilst refrigerated last up to six weeks. You can’t store eggs at room temperature if they have at some point been refrigerated.
In Oklahoma, we have a lot of local small organic farmers who sell unwashed eggs at room temperature. Never get sick. Make denser, creamier cakes, and can actually TASTE the eggs! Our pasteurized eggs have no flavor.

If no one has mentioned, the teenager vs magnet issue can be accidental when an adolescent puts one on either side of their lip mimicking a piercing, if dislodged it's easy to inadvertently swallow.
I have chickens and I would leave my unwashed eggs out if they're not dirty until I get to them. Eventually I will wash them and store then in the fridge. Also, we do have a round kinder egg that you break apart with a toy inside not that flat thing they showed. I just bought a bunch for Holloween.
2:20 it sounds like a lot as a whole...but if you crunch the numbers, thats like 1.4 ounces of cheese per day. So like, if you have a sandwich for lunch with a slice of cheese on it most days and occasionally order some pizza...thats 34 pounds in a year.
For people in the US who have their own chickens in their backyard, they don't refrigerate it unless they wash the eggs. Washing the eggs removes the bloom, the protective coating on the outside of the egg that keeps bacteria from entering the egg. Also some people do make haggis if they butcher the animal themself.
Pretty sure that year they quoted the CDC salmonella numbers was when we had a big outbreak of it due to tomatoes from Mexico. We were told to only buy tomatoes that still had the vine attached, the rest were likely tainted.
The numbers for people who get sick from eggs are actually a bit deceiving because they did not adjust them per capita. Since the United States is dramatically bigger than the United Kingdom it is natural that the non adjusted numbers given will be equally disproportionate in size. Once you adjust for population size the two numbers are fairly similar but shows like this get a lot of there interactions that raise them up on the algorithm from shock factor so they will purposely look for things like non adjusted numbers to make that shock factor.
Teenagers (especially males) are easy to push into "dares" by their peers. They also can come up with stupid thangs to do all on their own. Swallowing things that shouldn't be consumed is near the top of the list of "stupid Dares".
@@Cricket2731 yeah and so was stuffing phone booths and WV Beetles. I guess teens haven't learned much over the years when it come to peer pressure and stupid dares.
Just a clarification on eggs - there are plenty of people in the US who don’t put their eggs in the fridge. I raise chickens at home, and we do not wash eggs for ourselves, and we also sell farm fresh free range eggs from our homesteads all over the country. The only “banning” is on grocery shelves.
I grew up in Nebraska and one summer job was at an egg factory. Farmers brought cases there and they were stored in a huge storage area with no refrigeration. For months. We cracked and separated eggs by hand to be dried for cake mix companies and sent to troops in Vietnam. Our jobs depended on how fast we were! Could do it with both hands.
We grabbed 4-5 eggs in each hand and one by one tapped, cracked and pulled them apart to be dropped in a bucket. If they wanted yolks and whites separated we deposited the opened egg on a “clipper” that allowed the egg white to go down one chute into a bucket and the yolk into another. Hard to explain!
The kinder joy is the same chocolate! The pudding or whatever is very good too, and I'm pretty sure it's got a little Ferrero Roche in the middle (been a while since I've had one, been on a Bueno kick)
I prefer real Kinder Surprise, although I’m not really much of a milk chocolate person (better than white chocolate in my opinion though, I prefer dark chocolate over both). I don’t like the cream in Kinder Joy!, as it’s just too sweet for me personally.
I'm from Brazil. Here eggs are sold unrefrigerated in supermarkets, but most people will have a close look at the packing and expiry dates to make sure that they're fresh, and once at home, they will put the eggs in the fridge. (Brazilians are a VERY hygienic people, the kind that, among other things, won't eat handheld foods without a napkin to avoid touching the food with the bare skin of the fingers, and will use cutlery for many things that are eaten with the hands in other countries.) I have tried both forms of egg storage at home, and refrigerating them does keep them from spoiling for longer, but it also causes the opposite effect of what you thought, Kabir: they get more fluid and gooey, and after some days the yolk skin ruptures, long before the eggs are spoiled, mixing yolk and white. Although the eggs are still safe to eat at that stage, that can be bad for some dishes and preparations, and they lose in taste somewhat, too. So, I think it's best to keep them out of the fridge, but consume them within a few days --- as you probably do in Britain. Oh, and Kinder Surprise eggs are wildly popular here, too, but they disappear from the shelves every year from about November to March. That's summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Since Brazil is a mostly tropical country, many parts of the country get too hot and the chocolate tends to melt, lose the shape and get messy during that time. Ferrero take care of the image of their products and don't want them to be associated with messy goo. I'm not sure that Kinder eggs are even sold in the equatorial parts of Brazil, where it's hot all year around (I'm from a more temperate area).
The whole Salimonela thing was a regular for the u.s.a it was coming from everywhere vegetables, meat, juice, restaurants fruits, milk there was no excape for a while. But it mainly under control now with proper cooking temperatures and cleaning fruits and vegetables b4 eating.
I bought a Kinder Surprise in Canada when I last went there. It felt like I was bringing home contraband. It is unbelievable the plastic capsule is feared to be a choking hazard as it is so big. The Kinder Joy actually tastes better so we're not really missing out.
The ban on food items with inedible things inside predate the invention of Kinder eggs by a lot. I think many people felt it wasn't worth it to overturn a long established law regarding choking hazardous foods for one product (even if they're delicious).
I know that. I've tried the Kinder Surprise and know it's far too big. The law indicates it is because it is a toy encased in chocolate. It's a stupid law.
I've had eggs in Europe(my hotel in Dublin actually upgraded us to a free full Irish breakfast every morning, which was awesome). I honestly didn't know at the time that they were kept at room temperature. It kind of freaks me out to think that. But honestly, I don't know the science behind the two options. Eggs and dairy being in the fridge was always a must.
Dairy being in the fridge makes sense, the only type we keep out is butter since unlike the rest it doesn’t go bad quickly outside of the fridge. However I raise chickens, and we don’t refrigerate our eggs unless we wash them off if they’re too dirty (which is not very common). Washing an egg gets rid of protective coating that’s on it, which is what helps it stay fresh longer when it’s not in the fridge. Once eggs are washed off (like the ones you get at the grocery store, they have to be I’m pretty sure), they won’t last very long outside of the fridge, so you have to refrigerate them. I get why people buy eggs from the grocery store so I don’t judge, but there’s too many negatives if you ask me. We’ll never go back to eating store-bought eggs. Fresh eggs from raised chickens taste much better, and they last longer if not washed. Plus, there’s quite a bit of store-bought eggs that are bleached white, because brown eggs are more common yet quite a few people seem to be adverse to it. I like to imagine if I showed them a green egg from one of my colored egg laying chickens (they can lay green or pale pink-brown/pink-white eggs. I’m not sure if the hybrids, like the ones I have, can produce blue eggs but I know the full-blooded breed one of their parents are can).
I think there's a difference between "on average, Americans eat 34 pounds of cheese per year" and "the average American eats 34 pounds of cheese per year."
I have heard vasoline (Petroleum jelly) can be used to coat eggs and keep air from getting through the porous eggshells to preserve them longer with, or without, refrigeration. Example: Camping without a cooler or the electricity is out for an extended time. Such as, after a disaster, like a massive hurricane or tornado. However, as a tip: I would recommend using a paper towel or a cloth to remove as much petroleum jelly from whichever eggs you're going to use, before trying to remove them from the carton.
The original format of Kinder Surprise is available in Australia 🇦🇺. Also we have Yowie Suprise. Yowie is Australia's answer to bigfoot. Also, real eggs are recommended to be kept in the fridge. Yet, sometimes, one can still find some of the nest "products" on the shell.
Expected to see Cuban cigars on here. Obama loosened restrictions and the last guy reinstated them. Most people trying to get Cuban cigars have to get them from Canada.
So, the Kinder egg info is a little inaccurate, but that's not really surprising because that's the common knowledge myth. Really, Kinder eggs themselves have never been a target of the law, they're a casualty. The law that blocks their sale in the US, which was mentioned here, was made long before something like a Kinder egg existed. It was designed to stop things like filling out ground beef with sawdust, or using plaster to thicken milk, things that were common in the 1800s and early 1900s. Kinder eggs just coincidentally also fall under this law because of the way it's worded. Regulators were never worried about kids choking on kinder egg toys, the banning is just a side effect from a law written long before they existed, and that nobody is willing to take the effort to rewrite for a single product.
The Food Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938 bans the sale of non food products enrobed in food products. This law was passed as a reaction to the sulfanilamide elixir tragedy. It also modernize the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906.
62 year old American here, never met a person who’s had salmonella , so I’m calling BS on the CDC estimate. Turns out, they are often wrong, finding out recently.
@@geoffsimpkins7650 Some people go to the doctor and some don't ....most people recover from it on their own. I would guess their numbers are estimates.
Teenagers? are you kidding me... most of the stupidest things we do in our lifetime we do as teenagers! (lol) (sometimes this lasts a few years longer) I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that this happens to teenage males more often than teenage females.
Another weird one here is you have to be 21 to purchase (and I assume to legally consume) liquor chocolates due to the teen weeny amount of alcohol in them. Christmas isn't complete without liquor chocolates.
My son buys Kinder Eggs when we go up to Vancouver BC, but he has to at least OPEN them before cross the border. They are illegal for us to bring them across the border, whole, as they don't want us selling contraband chocolate. I get it, but of all the things we have to worry about bringing back home . . . 😆
The egg thing isn't around the US. Not everyone stores them in the fridge when we get them home. Here at my house we don't refrigerate our eggs. My mama grew up on a farm and they didn't have refrigeration when she was growing up in the 50's. There are plenty of farm fresh eggs eaters in America. The number of people getting salmonella is just the reported number not an actual breakdown. Remember you can get salmonella from anything that has been exposed to it. Veggies, fruits, if you own reptiles as pets. Lead is still around in America in old buildings and old paints and things. If you know a dealer you can get antique books just like exotic foods and fruits. The seller has a license to obtain the item and sell it to you. Pretty much if you know someone and you have the money you can get almost anything you want in America legally and illegally. Haggis ever have I ever wanted to try something so badly. It kind of reminds me of some foods we call souse meat, head cheese and one other I can remember. Also if you try chit lings (pig intestines) remember that you can eat them in America but not Haggis. 😂 I'm not saying they aren't good because they really are when cooked correctly by the right person and I used to eat them when I was really little before I found out what they were. I was maybe 6 or 8 when I smelled my aunt cleaning them before we reached her house. The magnets. It's emoji time. 😩😩😩 I have no idea why kids do things like that. Tide pods, snorting condoms, eating cinnamon, running across milk crates 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ When new and stupid things like this are being done it makes me think why don't we just remove all the warning labels. Teenagers and bored young adults 😩
Bs. Store bought eggs rot outside of cool temps. I know this for a fact bc I worked produce in a grocery store. The smell of unkept eggs can make your stomach turn. I know from experience.
@@bradkirchhoff8264 I know what a rotten egg smells like better than you do. This was a farm fresh egg that went bad in the summer in a mobile home. Even after 18 days away with all the windows open it still stunk. And good on you for working in produce I also have experience. Eggs only go bad because they linger around for so long. If you don't refrigerate your eggs yes they will go bad faster than than cold eggs but that's also do to you not eating them. Simply put if a family of 4 has 6 dozen eggs and only eat about 3 dozen a month you can expect the others to go bad. It's not bullshit. You're arguing with tons of people that have farm experience and fresh egg experience. There are plenty of people that don't refrigerate eggs. 3 dozen eggs are fine at my house out on the counter for 3 weeks after purchase. They don't last longer than that because we've usually run out before the Thursday or Friday of that 3rd week. How about you argue with everyone in the comments below mine while you're free.
My daughter loves the kinder egg. We buy them at our local German meat market at the beginning of our street. They are tasty. So at some point the USDA must have lifted the ban. Plus you can find the kinder egg at the grocery store as well.
I had my brother sneak me a bottle of Absinthe straight from Germany about 10 years ago. (No idea how he got it past security) I knew I couldn't get the real stuff here in America. I took the smallest taste, just enough to coat my tounge, from the bottle and immediately turned red faced and sweating. Absinthe is NOTHING to mess with. It's so tasty, but super strong if you don't know what you're doing. The legend goes that if you drink enough of it, the hallucinations happen and you're supposed to start seeing a green fairy. Anyway, watch the beginning of Moulin Rouge. Absinthe is what they're drinking, they get super drunk and Nicole Kidman starts flying around looking like Tinkerbell. It's quite hilarious! 🤣
As an American myself we do not exactly have the brightest teenagers quite a few teenagers have serious issues like coming up with challenges that are scarring if not fatal. Like people lighting themselves on fire or drinking things that no one should ever drink. We have Smart people here but, we also have stupid people that think holding on tight to lit fireworks are smart and that is extremely stupid because then they lose hands, eyes, jaws, faces, have sever severe lacerations and death. I don't know what is up with our teens as the generations go on but, it is frightening it as if they lost Common sense and had a drop in intellectual ability then again America does have bad meth, heroin, and crack cocaine addictions as well as people below the age of 18 binge drinking. It blows my mind. Most of us American's as children have done something stupid at one point whether we were a kid or a teenager. I myself put a board in my swing when I was maybe 11 and was going to balance on it well that board had a nail or two at the end and flipped around and jabbed me in the leg I have scar to prove it. True Absinthe is 90% alcohol.
The one moment I'll never forget was when I was in a grocery store in Winnipeg, buying Kinder Eggs to take home to the US with me, and I mentioned this to the cashier who didn't know about our ban on Kinder Eggs. He said "You know its ironic that you guys ban Kinder Eggs because a few kids choke on them every year but don't ban guns even though they kill way more people" AND ITS TRUE. People here as long as they have a clean criminal record can purchase, own and shoot military-grade semi-automatic weapons that are used in dozens of mass shootings per year among other crimes, but a damn chocolate egg is too dangerous?
If you think about it, cars kill almost as many people as guns do. Yet no one is trying ban cars. So if you say guns kill people then ya gotta say cars kill people. Personally, I believe it is the person utilizing the gun or car that kills other people.
List of things that you can use to kill people: Knives Ropes Shovels Baseball bats Household cleaners Plastic bags Pillows Machetes Bush trimmers Chainsaws Vehicles Cords Bathtubs Pools I mean I could go on forever. Let's write our senators and get these bans going eh?
How to tell if an egg is still fresh.......put it in some water. If it sinks it's fresh, if it floats throw it out. Store eggs with the pointy end down...the rounded end has an air gap between the shell and inner membrane. Storing the egg with air gap at the top keeps it fresh longer.
I loved getting the Kinder eggs when I was little (lived in England). Cracks me up that these are banned.... On the topic of teens eating magnets - remember tide-pods? Not sure if that was an issue overseas, but in the US, teens were trying to earn Darwin Awards.

I’m American. After my Australian husband had eaten in US restaurants a couple of times, he looked up from his menu, and said “Do Americans put cheese on EVERYTHING?” I was shocked for a moment and then I realized, yes, we pretty much do.

I'm American and I had some antique books from the 1800s and I currently have a 1919 Good Housekeeping magazine. This is the first time I've heard of a ban on books printed before 1985.
It refers to children books
The ban is on lead in items intended for children. Law was poorly worded so it got applied to books unintentionally.
Ink used to be made with lead in it. This is not a real problem with books unless you chew on the inked letters on the page. Babies and toddlers chew on everything, including books.
Go ahead and read your antique books. Let your older children read them. Keep them away from kids who chew books. Teach your kids proper book etiquette: treat books gently, don't tear the pages, don't crumple the pages, don't scribble on the pages, and don't eat or chew on them.
Actually that ban is on the import of books. The books are already in America are not banned
@@jeannedennis5863 No, it's not. It's due to lead content in some books that some younger children might chew on. This is clearly stated in the video.
banned books means banned in libraries(not all but most) and all public schools .
You can get fresh non-refrigerated eggs directly from farms who keep fresh eggs for local consumption. This is one of the reasons mass corporate production is often inferior to getting products locally.
When you think about it the system actually favors small farms in the US. Since big corporations can’t do this the market is completely controlled by family owned farms.
They are better eggs too , i have collitis and food allergies i try to o nly eat farm raised
Our Local Super Market buys All local Farmer Eggs first !! Country Living in the South is the Best. Alabama ~~ Roll Tide
@@dawn6320 I disagree but alright
If the chickens the eggs come from are not vaccinated against salmonella all the local farmers are doing is allowing you to sidestep a law that is meant to protect you! I don't see how a higher risk of getting salmonella can possibly considered a good thing.
For my family if we buy eggs from the grocery store we refrigerate them. But if we buy eggs from a local farmer we don't. The reason we do this is stated in the video. But I personally like getting local eggs better
The thing with products in America still containing lead is the fact that we get a lot of products from China and a lot of those factories cheap out and go for lead based paints or lead in their plastics.
You gotta remember that per year is 365 days. And a lot of foods like cheeseburgers, pizza, grilled cheese, cheesy soup, we got a lot of cheese stuff. And it's "average" as in, not everyone, just a general average.
Also a lot of comfort foods such as various pasta dishes, various casseroles, and dips not to mention the desserts that also include in some form.
Ok so I found that 1 pound of sliced cheese is 24 slices. So it averages to a little more than 2 slices of cheese a day, which I dont think it that crazy lol
@@maemarie3926 I don't know, that is still a lot of cheese. It explains the obesity (and heart disease and diabetes and etc etc) epidemic in the US for sure.
@@aj897 while true, “comfort food” is a subjective term. “Comfort food” is food that someone chooses that makes them feel calm or like their childhood or something their mom, dad, grandma, granddad, etc used to make… my comfort food is not going to be someone else’s comfort food. But it’s still comfort food. A hot bowl of tomato soup is someone’s idea of comfort food… but it’s not mine. Still makes it comfort food.

Love the cherry-picked stats on eggs/salmonella. Most infections are not causes by eggs, and the proper way to compare infections would be per capita as opposed to total cases as we do have 350 million people here.
""There are lies, damned lies and statistics." - Mark Twain"
Exactly where I was going - Briton is tiny, compared to the fifty states and the District of Columbia.
In recent years here in the Midwest the MAJORITY of salmonella poisoningcases have been from salads and improperly handled MEAT not eggs.... And it's been traced either back to the farms in S. California or mishandling in factory for the meat.
The presenter says one million Americans got salmonella in a year, but he did NOT say it was from bad eggs.
The lead issue with regard to books only affects books intended to be sold for children to use. It does not affect other books, including collectible books.
When you crack a bad egg, there is no way that you will eat it. The smell alone will stop you, never mind how it looks. 😊
It was a bit misleading. Most salmonella in the US comes from unsanitary practices at restaurants and food producers. Not from eggs. Only about 1% come from bad eggs.
We had several outbreaks from spinach, and other things I didn’t even know hold salmonella
@@ravenmills7777 Salmonella comes from the intestines of other animals. When it's produce that is making people sick, it's most likely from the fertilizer used to feed the plants.

Kabir when you first said "we just keep our eggs outside" I first thought "dang everyone in the UK has a chicken coop outside" 🤣
😂😂
Kabir, I raise my own chickens here in the US. Due to habit, I always refrigerate them but don't wash until I want to use them.
Lmfao 🤣 dying cause I was thinking the same thing and this comment had me in tears laughing haha
@Darci Stephenson
Thank you. This is good to know about egg handling and storage. I'm guessing you haven't had a problem with egg stability or wholesomeness since you're still handling your eggs this way. 🐓🥚👍
A chicken coop is a good backyard or back garden addition as long as there are NO ROOSTERS in the flock.
The additional reason for keeping eggs cold is the shipping over distances through cool and warm climates, the blanket law is Federal. Getting eggs from a farm is the best way, nice a fresh and unwashed, you can keep those out for a decent length of time. Haggis actually tastes really good and you can get non-traditional in the US made locally without the lung tissue. Haggis is, after all sausage with a bad PR agent. In the case of books, they're just referring to retail books, not collector.
But also in the US they wash their eggs with chemicals, which weaken the shell membrane. That doesn’t happen in UK or Europe.
@@aussieragdoll4840 Yes, it does wash the cuticle off the egg, changing anything on nature's perfect package can't be a positive. Hopefully, more local egg production will happen in the future on a smaller scale and they can change this.
Great Britain is the size of Illinois. Ireland is 2/3rds the size of Indiana. Eggs are regional, like within a US county. No temperature changes, no real shipping.
Another way to say the average American eats 34 pounds of cheese a year is the average American eats about 1.5 ounce of cheese a day.
I eat more than 1.5 Oz per serving.. I pour shredded cheese on almost everything.. mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, French fries, spaghetti, scrambled eggs, tacos, salads, subs, etc.. pretty much everything.. and I never get constipated from eating too much cheese.. I guess my body processes cheese better than most peoples bodies do..🙂
@@stonehaven2289 Constipation is usually not the issue with lactose intolerance 🤣 I am lactose intolerant and what I have found is that melted cheese is much harder on my stomach than cold cheese. I don't know if maybe cooking it brings out the lactose? But it makes a big difference for me.
With the books people are forever selling old books at garage sales, thrift stores and flea markets and online. I had never even heard of this rule and have bought identical copies of books I'd had as a child online I was born in the 70's and most of my childhood books were bought at garage sales and thrift stores and were from the 40's through the early 70's.
Believe it or not, cold eggs make a moister cake than room temperature eggs. I found this out by accident.
When making a cake, I normally do not take the eggs out of the refrigerator until it's time to put them in a mixing bowl. One time I decided to use room temperature eggs and my normally moist cake was very dry and the only change I made was I didn't use cold eggs.
When it comes to making cakes, i prefer cold eggs.
That makes a lot of sense actually. The colder the egg the longer the time it takes to dry out, wonder if adjusting the time could possibly result in a different creation?
I only use room temperature eggs to do my cakes and they are always moist, i'll try doing it with refrigerated eggs to see if there's any change in the end result🙂
Cold eggs are also better for making an egg wash for breading food for frying.
Cold does make a difference with eggs as strange as that sounds.

I’d bet poorly handled meat was the cause of almost all those salmonella cases
We had issues with spinach a few years back
I've never actually heard of anyone getting sick from eggs, and almost every food poisoning outbreak that makes the news is either from meat (especially ground meat) or fruit and vegetables that were tainted during processing, usually by coming in to contact with contaminated water at some point. But never eggs
Every year we hear about salmonella cases from people eating raw cookie dough, but ironically, the contamination is as often because the flour itself was contaminated, and sat out for a few weeks, with a bit of moisture getting in. That, and the fruit and veg contamination are things that concern us all (even us Vegans).

People in cooler climates can leave butter out at "room temperature" -
in much of the US, this would result in a plate of melted butter much of the year.
Yeah that makes sense. Here in Massachusetts my family keeps our butter out in a covered dish. We can’t do it in summer tho
Thats a very important point! The UK is pretty cool most of the time, I imagine if it were the opposite putting our eggs in the fridge would probably be the norm to keep them from going bad too fast
@@kabirconsiders I have to wonder about eggs... I mean, I know people who raise chickens, and they certainly don't refrigerate them.

The Black Bear- go work a week of produce in your local grocery store. You will see what happens to these eggs when not refridgerated. Make sure you have something to cover your nose bc the smell will become toxic in no time. I worked retail for about 4 years. Eggs need to be kept cool or they rot…

It's the Thujone, a chemical present in wormwood, that's banned from alcoholic beverages in any significant quantity. This means that any absinthe sold in the USA isn't genuine absinthe.

Can confirm, the Kinder Joy is basically just the Kinder Egg with the toy separate. Also can confirm that I am addicted to them.
Kinder joy is good but not as good as the surprise eggs
We kept chickens when I was a kid and never refrigerated eggs, but store bought eggs have to be refrigerated because the protective coating is washed off processed eggs.
It seems to me, as an American, that we ban some things that aren’t a hazard and allow plenty of chemicals and such that are banned in the UK and EU that are actually hazardous. Kinder eggs, for example - how are British and European kids not choking on these things if they’re so hazardous? I lived in Canada for 5 years and so I’m very familiar with them. I don’t see why they’re any more hazardous than any other toy. The toy is clearly encased in a non-swallowable pod thing. And Kinder Joy are great, but I just love a Kinder Egg…
I agree it is a dumb application of the law. But the law has been in place since the 1930's. The law was introduced because of children choking on small toys in cereal boxes. Cracker Jack's was another product that lead to the law.
Since they all started including the items in packaging. They got past the law. So why not Kinder eggs? Probably because they're French.

I doubt that owners of antique books let children handle them. That would have a serious effect on the books' value.

Yes the yoke stays together when its refrigerated I sell eggs takeing them from storage to store in chilled to home and chilled and if there in the cold it store they need to be chilled or bacteria will grow inside .the salmonella cases are from like mayo and chicken ect from restraunts and fastfood and honestly from leaveing the eggs out to long
I am a senior person and I remember when I was young our eggs in the grocery store were stacked up along side the cooler. I do remember we would have usually at least one bad egg per dozen. As an adult, I have never had a bad egg in any of my egg containers. 😊
I was taught to break my eggs into a separate cup or bowl, before adding them to whatever I was making, one at a time. Just in case one was bad it wouldn't ruin the whole thing
I was visiting in Ghana last month and the egg situation is the same there as in the UK. They are not refrigerated. The majority of the markets are open air there so the eggs are kept inside the store but out on the counter. When we got them home, my friends also kept them on the counter in the kitchen. The egg dishes they made for me were delicious, and I didn't have any concerns about it since the eggs were scrambled and cooked.
The book ban is for children's books only because kids place things in their mouths.
So do women
But you can still find old children's books in all kinds of places...
@@SuperZippyzippy now that was a subtle one ...
I worked with teens for about ten years after having been one myself. "Why?" was a common question that came to mind more than I'd like to admit when dealing with some of them. lol
34 pounds of cheese a year per person is about two thirds of a pound a week. That's a lot of cheese, but it's not insanely high, especially when you consider it includes cheese used for pizza, cheeseburgers, lasagna, etc. Also, there are probably a few people who consume huge amounts of cheese who bring up the average. It would be interesting to know the median value, which would be a better measure of how much cheese a typical person consumes.
One thing that contributes to salmonella in eggs is that chickens are often crowded together in small cages in filthy conditions. If one chicken in a henhouse gets sick, it's likely they'll all get sick. California has passed laws requiring that chickens be given enough room to spread their wings and turn around in their cages, and by 2022 all eggs sold in California must come from cage-free hens. These measures will reduce the already small risk of salmonella in eggs sold in California.
Salmonella in eggs is mostly a problem for people who don't cook them thoroughly, or who eat them raw (it's not just Rocky who does this). The most common way that people eat raw eggs is in mayonnaise. Eggnog is another food product made from raw eggs. Commercial mayo and eggnog manufacturers pasteurize their eggs, which kills salmonella and other bacteria. If you have a sous vide system, you can pasteurize your own eggs at home by setting the temperature to 135 F/ 57 C and submerging the eggs (in their shells, of course) for at least an hour and fifteen minutes (after the water has come up to temperature, of course).
You asked why anyone would put magnets in their mouth. Babies will do this with almost anything, which is why parents have to keep them away from objects that are small enough to be swallowed. Teenagers might do it because, well, teenagers can have terrible judgment.
BTW, the original meaning of "bucky ball" is a form of carbon where the atoms are in a nearly spherical crystal. The pattern of the atoms and the bonds between them is similar to that of a soccer ball. It was named after Buckminster Fuller, who invented the geodesic dome (which looks like one half of a bucky ball). Another name for bucky balls is "buckminsterfullerene,' or "fullerene" for short.
I have seen imported canned haggis for sale in the U.S. I didn't look at the ingredient list. It's possible it's made without lungs for the American market.
That was a really interesting video. As a Canadian I immediately put my eggs into the fridge when I come home from the grocery store.. I never knew Europeans leave them out so I was quite surprised to hear that. As for the US’ cheese consumption I’m not surprised lol. I recall going to Michigan once on a multi day trip and remarked on how difficult it was to order anything in a restaurant without cheese in it. I even brought it up to my colleagues at the time remarking on how unusual it seemed to me.
I’m from Michigan and I agree!! I try to eat healthy which means limiting cheese.
Canadian here, also. My family has purchased eggs for 3 generations from a local farmer. Never put them in the fridge and never had salmonella. Just don't leave them where sun can get to them.
Just tell them to leave off the cheese.
@@chrispavlich9656 That’s exactly what I did.
I rather have refrigerated eggs that have been washed, than eggs with green poop on the shell.
On the topic of banned cheeses, Camembert de Normandie is also banned. Basically, we have a ban on cheeses that are unpasteurized. I do believe that we do have a pasteurized version of this cheese, but we cannot have the genuine camembert. Another banned dairy product is clotted cream. The clotted cream familiar to Brits is unpasteurized, so illegal in the US. The doesn't stop some of us from making our own for ourselves, though.
Regarding haggis, it's quite savory and tasty, but it really is a food that you either love or hate. I visited Scotland for a few weeks back in 2003. I toured the Famous Grouse distillery and had the opportunity to taste haggis in their on-site eatery. I happen to love haggis and wish I could have the real deal here in Texas.
Make friends with someone who raises and slaughters their own beef or mutton. You may be able to get the offal you need for the recipe. As I understand it, the lungs are the only ingredient banned.
Usually we just go right to the parent company and stuff our faces with Ferrero chocolate, especially during Christmas.
Absinthe should NEVER be set on fire. It is not the traditional way of drinking it, and it just burns alcohol away.
When I was growing up, we had our own chickens and grew our own veggies. We kept the eggs in a bowl on the counter along with tomatoes, onion, garlic, and a lot of fruits and other veggies. There is nothing like fresh eggs and veg you have picked fresh from the garden. I miss it. Store bought food just doesn't taste the same.
Kinder Surprise is even better because it has two little hazelnut crunchy candies nestled on top of Nutella and some sort of creamy white ganache of some sort covering the whole affair. That and the little toy inside is pretty cool for the kids. Trust me, lots of us are are super happy they figured out this fairly simple fix to the issue our FDA has regarding Kinder Eggs.
We self cater when we go to UK and Ireland. The refrigerators are small because they have to shop frequently.
Food does go bad much more quickly than the US due to shipping longevity considerations being paramount in the US. Food packets are small in the UK, as they go bad quickly. US has more traditions of ethnic foods that are spice, smoked, air dried to preserve.
So Food was much more fresh, briefly very good. Loved the double cream. Very briefly good.
Housing in the US is much more separate from the shops than in a lot of the UK, so a large shop to the supermarket is less frequent in the US than walking to the corner shop for some fresh food is in the UK.
Really different housing and distance of shipping makes a huge difference in how our food is treated, and how we shop.
I remember my neighbor (a mechanic and handyman) had a textbook from the '60s that fully explained how to fully disassemble vehicles, cast your own parts, molds, etc. It's why many men were extremely knowledgeable about vehicles for a few generations. He'd damaged his in 1962, paid the school fine, but kept the book. It had diagrams for engines that could run at 30 miles to the gallon. Doesn't seem great right? Until you see that there was a notation to cut gasoline for them at roughly 1 part gas to 10 part filtered water. That means only a gallon of actual gas would be used for a 10-gallon tank. My mind was blown. Ford, Chevy, and GM sent representatives around to collect the books during a buyback program. The school got a hefty check from them to turn them in. Now in most high schools, more theory is taught than actual skill. Less and less is being taught and these folks that learned these skills are told unless they get certified or stay certified that they're not to use the skills outside of their home. It's crazy. This guy basically was regulated out of his job. He'd learned to be an actual mechanic in high school. He made plenty of money pipe fitting though. He'd cut, thread, and fit pipes of copper, PVC, etc. He'd help DIYers with projects. He lived comfortably when he could have been building engines. He built one for his son's moped but warned us not to be showing people it. I wonder what else has been gradually pulled off the shelves.
The poisons that have been used until very recent times can be pretty shocking.
Lead is used in a lot of things, but commonly paint (and it used to be added to motor fuel (petrol/gasoline))
Arsenic was another paint compound - but also a "beauty" product - consumption of small amounts of arsenic will give your hair a glossy sheen!
You still need to be careful about anything that glows in the dark - because some folks still use radium paint.
And then there is always Cyanide - which was used in green paints and dyes - including at one time, food coloring!
Hell you used to be able to by radioactive dishes.
Asbestos everywhere too. Popcorn ceilings=asbestos. Not too dangerous unless disturbed, but it's EVERYWHERE in old builds.
Yup, lead oxides were THE most common white dye for a long while, and were a huge problem because they gave the paint a sweet aftertaste that kids would love to chew on. Titanium has replaced lead as the basis for most modern white dyes, which is still a little toxic, but not as toxic and most importantly not SWEET.
@@lllllllllllllllllllll1lll1 There are popcorn ceilings in the US that *AREN’T* laden with asbestos, because the style was still popular for a while after asbestos’s problems came to light-and there’s still the occasional person who actually likes the look or wants to use it to hide OTHER flaws in the ceiling so it is still occasionally made-but for obvious reasons a style that everyone associates with asbestos is not particularly popular in new construction.
@@IONATVS Yes that's true, but the majority contain asbestos since the popcorn ceiling trend was big pre-1980s. Most popcorn ceilings were installed during that mid-50s to late-70s era, before they pulled asbestos from the formula.
Because public transportation is not reliable in the US and most everyone has to drive to the store to buy groceries, most people want to do all their grocery shopping for the month when they go so they don't have to spend the time and the gas of keep going to the store over an over in only a few week. When I buy eggs I buy at least 2 dozen eggs per trip and try to stretch out using the the eggs so I don't have to go back to the store often. So that's why I and most Americans refrigerate our eggs. We have long work weeks and not much vacation time so they time we have to do personal shopping is not a lot for most people!
Well said.
No they deliver as to.

I love your thinking process. However, this is totally incorrect with why eggs are refrigerated in the U.S....nice try though 🤔
I've never seen an egg's yolk anything but firm. I've kept eggs in my fridge for 3 weeks without a problem, in NC, USA
One thing you might not be thinking about on the egg part. The USA has.many different temperatures all over the states. Room temp in one place might work but other places could literally cook the egg in the shell.
I never heard about the book one, there are old books everywhere.
The egg one still baffles me as to why the US does it, as it’s not like refrigerating eggs is something we’ve done for a long time, most people only got refrigerators in the past 80 years anyways, we basically made up a rule and refused to do the normal thing
The eggs are required to be washed before going to the market. The protective layer is washed off the egg and spoil faster if left out of refrigerator.
About the books, they were not referring to all books, just books marketed for children, antique and collectibles would probably not fall into this category. In regards to the eggs...British weather is mostly temperate although b it very soggy lol, leaving them out on the counter may not b harsh. How do countries with more torrid weather handle their juevos? Being a trained culinarian I would surmise keeping most perishables on the lower end of temperate "danger zone" to not aide in the rampant growth of harmful bacteria until can b cooked to an appropriate temperature.
Kinder Surprise are banned in the US because of the FDA regulation mainly because the toys are listed for certain ages. We do have chocolate surprise exactly like Kinder Surprise but I think the age limit on the toys inside is different. The video mentioned 2017 Ferro introduced the Kinder Joy, but I remember having Kinder Joy in Germany back in 2009. It may be that the company introduced Kinder Joy in the US market in 2017.
If you get eggs from chickens in your yard, there is no need to refrigerate. In third world countries, you may get some eggs with green poop on the shell (and sometimes with a nucleus or a drop of blood inside). In certain countries such as in the US, eggs are washed, that is how they look nice and uniform but washing eliminates a thin "membrane" that was referred here as "cuticle" (?) that protects the egg and without it, bacteria may enter the egg unless it is kept refrigerated.
Bet I eat 75 lbs of cheese a years Always some sort of cheese in my fridge At least 2 different kinds
I love parmesan cheese on my spaghetti bolognese 🤤
When I had backyard chickens, we never washed the eggs, and kept them out on the kitchen counter. We also live in Texas, where summer temps regularly get over 100F. Our house was only cooled to 80F to save $$ and reduce our carbon footprint, and apparently that little bit of warmth was enough to allow development of fertilized eggs, and there was a distinct risk of getting half-formed chicks in your scramble if you didn’t crack each egg separately
I thought the vast majority of Americans who get Salmonella got it from undercooked chicken, or poorly processed chicken, or cross contamination from chicken.
I’ve actually never heard of anyone getting it from an egg. Some athletes drink raw eggs, and I’ve never heard of them getting sick from it. I’ve only heard of people getting it from raw or undercooked chicken.
Most outbreaks are from plants, from the organic contaminated fertilizer.
You can also get a salmonella infection tion from handling lizards, etc... and not properly washing your hands.
Absinthe is not illegal in all states in the United States. Last time I have been to a liquor store in Vermont you can buy it. It wasn't about the hallucinations but back near the turn of the 20th century there was a rash outbreak across the globe of toxic absinthe which is potentially fatal to the consumer. I believe it was actual for a time the national drink of the United States as well as France. It was banned in the US because of this around the early 1900s. It being brewed in equipment that makes the product toxic. Much like toxic moonshine can be moonshine that is passed through a old car radiator which can infuse the moonshine with toxic components of anti freeze along with lead and other toxic metals from the radiator itself. Other than the feds not getting the tax money from the sale of the moonshine the other reason its illegal for individuals to produce and sell it without licenses is because of that. The least it can do is make you sick the worse is it can make you blind and even kill you. Toxic booze can be more fatal than overconsumption of normal booze.
I watched a midsommers murder drama the other night... It was about a murder with a cheese making farm.. they did have some sort of insect!!! Yuk... But seeing the first banned item it now makes sense.
Also we have Bacardi 151 that is over 75 percent alcohol!!! It's good as a starter drink or "shot" which in the states a standard shot is 30ml. However it can be a risky move if you have already consumed 6 alcoholic beverages. It could end your evening with getting sick! (Speaking from experience lol)
Refrigerated eggs can last 5 weeks from refrigeration date. Eggs normally get to market pretty quickly so I figure I got at least a month. I've put it to the test a few times and it held true for me every time. Books may have been "Grandfathered in". Yours...your responsibility.
refrigerated eggs can last like 6 months wtf are you on about
@@floki2095 lmao i was about to say that too. i buy eggs in bulk and they last me a LONG time
I learnt from an Alaskan chicken farmer video that we should be storing our eggs pointy end down so that the air sac can protect the egg from bacteria. He says non-refrigerated eggs last four weeks, whilst refrigerated last up to six weeks. You can’t store eggs at room temperature if they have at some point been refrigerated.
In Oklahoma, we have a lot of local small organic farmers who sell unwashed eggs at room temperature. Never get sick. Make denser, creamier cakes, and can actually TASTE the eggs! Our pasteurized eggs have no flavor.
love your channel! I have a lot of friends in England and my brother is moving to London to live with his wife, so I love learning the differences and similarities between the 2 cultures and how you view them.
Thanks Ashley :)
If no one has mentioned, the teenager vs magnet issue can be accidental when an adolescent puts one on either side of their lip mimicking a piercing, if dislodged it's easy to inadvertently swallow.
I have chickens and I would leave my unwashed eggs out if they're not dirty until I get to them. Eventually I will wash them and store then in the fridge. Also, we do have a round kinder egg that you break apart with a toy inside not that flat thing they showed. I just bought a bunch for Holloween.
2:20 it sounds like a lot as a whole...but if you crunch the numbers, thats like 1.4 ounces of cheese per day. So like, if you have a sandwich for lunch with a slice of cheese on it most days and occasionally order some pizza...thats 34 pounds in a year.
Hi again. As far as cheese goes, that is true and I am one of the Americans that eats 34 pounds of cheese a year. It's yummy.
For people in the US who have their own chickens in their backyard, they don't refrigerate it unless they wash the eggs. Washing the eggs removes the bloom, the protective coating on the outside of the egg that keeps bacteria from entering the egg.
Also some people do make haggis if they butcher the animal themself.
Pretty sure that year they quoted the CDC salmonella numbers was when we had a big outbreak of it due to tomatoes from Mexico. We were told to only buy tomatoes that still had the vine attached, the rest were likely tainted.
The numbers for people who get sick from eggs are actually a bit deceiving because they did not adjust them per capita. Since the United States is dramatically bigger than the United Kingdom it is natural that the non adjusted numbers given will be equally disproportionate in size. Once you adjust for population size the two numbers are fairly similar but shows like this get a lot of there interactions that raise them up on the algorithm from shock factor so they will purposely look for things like non adjusted numbers to make that shock factor.
Teenagers (especially males) are easy to push into "dares" by their peers. They also can come up with stupid thangs to do all on their own. Swallowing things that shouldn't be consumed is near the top of the list of "stupid Dares".
Have you ever heard of swallowing live goldfish? Rather popular, many years ago.
@@Cricket2731 yeah and so was stuffing phone booths and WV Beetles. I guess teens haven't learned much over the years when it come to peer pressure and stupid dares.
In the US we clean up the cuticle on the eggs (natural outside protective layer) hence the eggs need to be refrigerated
Just a clarification on eggs - there are plenty of people in the US who don’t put their eggs in the fridge. I raise chickens at home, and we do not wash eggs for ourselves, and we also sell farm fresh free range eggs from our homesteads all over the country. The only “banning” is on grocery shelves.
I grew up in Nebraska and one summer job was at an egg factory. Farmers brought cases there and they were stored in a huge storage area with no refrigeration. For months. We cracked and separated eggs by hand to be dried for cake mix companies and sent to troops in Vietnam. Our jobs depended on how fast we were! Could do it with both hands.
How do you separate eggs one-handed?
We grabbed 4-5 eggs in each hand and one by one tapped, cracked and pulled them apart to be dropped in a bucket. If they wanted yolks and whites separated we deposited the opened egg on a “clipper” that allowed the egg white to go down one chute into a bucket and the yolk into another. Hard to explain!
"The Green Faery"... I believe, implies an "other worldly experience", or seeing things "beyond the veil"....
In other words, Hallucinations.
I know of multiple antique shops just in my city that have entire rooms filled with children’s books way over 30 years old. Kind of terrifying.
The kinder joy is the same chocolate! The pudding or whatever is very good too, and I'm pretty sure it's got a little Ferrero Roche in the middle (been a while since I've had one, been on a Bueno kick)
I had a real Kinder Surprise and think I like the Kinder Joy! more. I also love Kinder Buenos.
I prefer real Kinder Surprise, although I’m not really much of a milk chocolate person (better than white chocolate in my opinion though, I prefer dark chocolate over both). I don’t like the cream in Kinder Joy!, as it’s just too sweet for me personally.
Kinder surprise is way better
I'm from Brazil. Here eggs are sold unrefrigerated in supermarkets, but most people will have a close look at the packing and expiry dates to make sure that they're fresh, and once at home, they will put the eggs in the fridge. (Brazilians are a VERY hygienic people, the kind that, among other things, won't eat handheld foods without a napkin to avoid touching the food with the bare skin of the fingers, and will use cutlery for many things that are eaten with the hands in other countries.) I have tried both forms of egg storage at home, and refrigerating them does keep them from spoiling for longer, but it also causes the opposite effect of what you thought, Kabir: they get more fluid and gooey, and after some days the yolk skin ruptures, long before the eggs are spoiled, mixing yolk and white. Although the eggs are still safe to eat at that stage, that can be bad for some dishes and preparations, and they lose in taste somewhat, too. So, I think it's best to keep them out of the fridge, but consume them within a few days --- as you probably do in Britain.
Oh, and Kinder Surprise eggs are wildly popular here, too, but they disappear from the shelves every year from about November to March. That's summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Since Brazil is a mostly tropical country, many parts of the country get too hot and the chocolate tends to melt, lose the shape and get messy during that time. Ferrero take care of the image of their products and don't want them to be associated with messy goo. I'm not sure that Kinder eggs are even sold in the equatorial parts of Brazil, where it's hot all year around (I'm from a more temperate area).
I've used refridgerated eggs weeks past the best before date on the package and they were still fine, eggs left out would spoil very quickly.
only if they are washed
The whole Salimonela thing was a regular for the u.s.a it was coming from everywhere vegetables, meat, juice, restaurants fruits, milk there was no excape for a while. But it mainly under control now with proper cooking temperatures and cleaning fruits and vegetables b4 eating.
I bought a Kinder Surprise in Canada when I last went there. It felt like I was bringing home contraband. It is unbelievable the plastic capsule is feared to be a choking hazard as it is so big. The Kinder Joy actually tastes better so we're not really missing out.
I'm curious to taste a kinder joy.. I cant imagine it being better than the kinder surprise 🤤
The ban on food items with inedible things inside predate the invention of Kinder eggs by a lot. I think many people felt it wasn't worth it to overturn a long established law regarding choking hazardous foods for one product (even if they're delicious).
@@kabirconsiders kinder eggs are awesome, they taste great
The capsule isn't the choking hazard. The hazard comes from the small toy that's inside the chocolate egg.
I know that. I've tried the Kinder Surprise and know it's far too big. The law indicates it is because it is a toy encased in chocolate. It's a stupid law.
I don't know how old that video is, but Absinthe can be bought in the US, I have some imported Checz absinthe bought at a liqurur store
Well there is around 333 million people now and it 325 million so a few years ago
They changed the formula for the US market
I've had eggs in Europe(my hotel in Dublin actually upgraded us to a free full Irish breakfast every morning, which was awesome). I honestly didn't know at the time that they were kept at room temperature. It kind of freaks me out to think that. But honestly, I don't know the science behind the two options. Eggs and dairy being in the fridge was always a must.
Basically if they’re washed they need to be refrigerated to prevent salmonella.
The eggs aren’t cleaned of the cuticle in Europe. So you’re good
Dairy being in the fridge makes sense, the only type we keep out is butter since unlike the rest it doesn’t go bad quickly outside of the fridge.
However I raise chickens, and we don’t refrigerate our eggs unless we wash them off if they’re too dirty (which is not very common). Washing an egg gets rid of protective coating that’s on it, which is what helps it stay fresh longer when it’s not in the fridge.
Once eggs are washed off (like the ones you get at the grocery store, they have to be I’m pretty sure), they won’t last very long outside of the fridge, so you have to refrigerate them.
I get why people buy eggs from the grocery store so I don’t judge, but there’s too many negatives if you ask me. We’ll never go back to eating store-bought eggs. Fresh eggs from raised chickens taste much better, and they last longer if not washed.
Plus, there’s quite a bit of store-bought eggs that are bleached white, because brown eggs are more common yet quite a few people seem to be adverse to it. I like to imagine if I showed them a green egg from one of my colored egg laying chickens (they can lay green or pale pink-brown/pink-white eggs. I’m not sure if the hybrids, like the ones I have, can produce blue eggs but I know the full-blooded breed one of their parents are can).
Kids in the US were eating Tide Pods for a while. There's no understanding why they do these things.
I think there's a difference between "on average, Americans eat 34 pounds of cheese per year" and "the average American eats 34 pounds of cheese per year."
34 lbs isnt a whole lot…We arent talking about just eating straight cheese 🤣🤣🤣. A LOT of our food has cheese in the ingredients…
I have heard vasoline (Petroleum jelly) can be used to coat eggs and keep air from getting through the porous eggshells to preserve them longer with, or without, refrigeration.
Example: Camping without a cooler or the electricity is out for an extended time. Such as, after a disaster, like a massive hurricane or tornado.
However, as a tip: I would recommend using a paper towel or a cloth to remove as much petroleum jelly from whichever eggs you're going to use, before trying to remove them from the carton.
Honestly, it blew my mind to learn other countries, Europe in this example, don't refrigerate eggs.
Really I grew up on a farm and we did not refrigerate all our eggs if any
The original format of Kinder Surprise is available in Australia 🇦🇺. Also we have Yowie Suprise. Yowie is Australia's answer to bigfoot.
Also, real eggs are recommended to be kept in the fridge. Yet, sometimes, one can still find some of the nest "products" on the shell.
Expected to see Cuban cigars on here. Obama loosened restrictions and the last guy reinstated them. Most people trying to get Cuban cigars have to get them from Canada.
The Kinder Joys are an insufficient substitute. And, FDA, please note: Embedded does not mean encased!
So, the Kinder egg info is a little inaccurate, but that's not really surprising because that's the common knowledge myth. Really, Kinder eggs themselves have never been a target of the law, they're a casualty. The law that blocks their sale in the US, which was mentioned here, was made long before something like a Kinder egg existed. It was designed to stop things like filling out ground beef with sawdust, or using plaster to thicken milk, things that were common in the 1800s and early 1900s. Kinder eggs just coincidentally also fall under this law because of the way it's worded. Regulators were never worried about kids choking on kinder egg toys, the banning is just a side effect from a law written long before they existed, and that nobody is willing to take the effort to rewrite for a single product.
The Food Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938 bans the sale of non food products enrobed in food products. This law was passed as a reaction to the sulfanilamide elixir tragedy. It also modernize the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906.
Or bread with talcum powder? Some weird stuff was going on, especially during late Victorian Era and the depression as well.

My son buys Kinder Eggs when we go up to Vancouver BC, but he has to at least OPEN them before cross the border. They are illegal for us to bring them across the border, whole, as they don't want us selling contraband chocolate. I get it, but of all the things we have to worry about bringing back home . . . 😆
Kinder candy products are available in America. Grocery Stores, Dollar Stores, Gas Stations etc.
The egg thing isn't around the US. Not everyone stores them in the fridge when we get them home. Here at my house we don't refrigerate our eggs. My mama grew up on a farm and they didn't have refrigeration when she was growing up in the 50's. There are plenty of farm fresh eggs eaters in America. The number of people getting salmonella is just the reported number not an actual breakdown. Remember you can get salmonella from anything that has been exposed to it. Veggies, fruits, if you own reptiles as pets. Lead is still around in America in old buildings and old paints and things. If you know a dealer you can get antique books just like exotic foods and fruits. The seller has a license to obtain the item and sell it to you. Pretty much if you know someone and you have the money you can get almost anything you want in America legally and illegally. Haggis ever have I ever wanted to try something so badly. It kind of reminds me of some foods we call souse meat, head cheese and one other I can remember. Also if you try chit lings (pig intestines) remember that you can eat them in America but not Haggis. 😂 I'm not saying they aren't good because they really are when cooked correctly by the right person and I used to eat them when I was really little before I found out what they were. I was maybe 6 or 8 when I smelled my aunt cleaning them before we reached her house. The magnets. It's emoji time. 😩😩😩 I have no idea why kids do things like that. Tide pods, snorting condoms, eating cinnamon, running across milk crates 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ When new and stupid things like this are being done it makes me think why don't we just remove all the warning labels. Teenagers and bored young adults 😩
Bs. Store bought eggs rot outside of cool temps. I know this for a fact bc I worked produce in a grocery store. The smell of unkept eggs can make your stomach turn. I know from experience.
@@bradkirchhoff8264 I know what a rotten egg smells like better than you do. This was a farm fresh egg that went bad in the summer in a mobile home. Even after 18 days away with all the windows open it still stunk. And good on you for working in produce I also have experience. Eggs only go bad because they linger around for so long. If you don't refrigerate your eggs yes they will go bad faster than than cold eggs but that's also do to you not eating them. Simply put if a family of 4 has 6 dozen eggs and only eat about 3 dozen a month you can expect the others to go bad. It's not bullshit. You're arguing with tons of people that have farm experience and fresh egg experience. There are plenty of people that don't refrigerate eggs. 3 dozen eggs are fine at my house out on the counter for 3 weeks after purchase. They don't last longer than that because we've usually run out before the Thursday or Friday of that 3rd week. How about you argue with everyone in the comments below mine while you're free.
Cheese makes everything better.
My daughter loves the kinder egg. We buy them at our local German meat market at the beginning of our street. They are tasty. So at some point the USDA must have lifted the ban. Plus you can find the kinder egg at the grocery store as well.
Yeah they are delicious 🤤
They are still illegal. You can buy the kinder egg which have two sides.

I had my brother sneak me a bottle of Absinthe straight from Germany about 10 years ago. (No idea how he got it past security) I knew I couldn't get the real stuff here in America. I took the smallest taste, just enough to coat my tounge, from the bottle and immediately turned red faced and sweating. Absinthe is NOTHING to mess with. It's so tasty, but super strong if you don't know what you're doing. The legend goes that if you drink enough of it, the hallucinations happen and you're supposed to start seeing a green fairy. Anyway, watch the beginning of Moulin Rouge. Absinthe is what they're drinking, they get super drunk and Nicole Kidman starts flying around looking like Tinkerbell. It's quite hilarious! 🤣
I do LOVE cheese 34 pounds seems like a accurate number
As an American myself we do not exactly have the brightest teenagers quite a few teenagers have serious issues like coming up with challenges that are scarring if not fatal. Like people lighting themselves on fire or drinking things that no one should ever drink. We have Smart people here but, we also have stupid people that think holding on tight to lit fireworks are smart and that is extremely stupid because then they lose hands, eyes, jaws, faces, have sever severe lacerations and death. I don't know what is up with our teens as the generations go on but, it is frightening it as if they lost Common sense and had a drop in intellectual ability then again America does have bad meth, heroin, and crack cocaine addictions as well as people below the age of 18 binge drinking. It blows my mind. Most of us American's as children have done something stupid at one point whether we were a kid or a teenager. I myself put a board in my swing when I was maybe 11 and was going to balance on it well that board had a nail or two at the end and flipped around and jabbed me in the leg I have scar to prove it. True Absinthe is 90% alcohol.
The one moment I'll never forget was when I was in a grocery store in Winnipeg, buying Kinder Eggs to take home to the US with me, and I mentioned this to the cashier who didn't know about our ban on Kinder Eggs. He said "You know its ironic that you guys ban Kinder Eggs because a few kids choke on them every year but don't ban guns even though they kill way more people" AND ITS TRUE. People here as long as they have a clean criminal record can purchase, own and shoot military-grade semi-automatic weapons that are used in dozens of mass shootings per year among other crimes, but a damn chocolate egg is too dangerous?
A very interesting situation indeed!
Well most people that buy guns legally don't go around shooting random children.
@@mudflapnskids1 Nor do most kids who eat Kinder eggs end up choking, but we still banned the treat after only a few dozen cases.
If you think about it, cars kill almost as many people as guns do. Yet no one is trying ban cars. So if you say guns kill people then ya gotta say cars kill people. Personally, I believe it is the person utilizing the gun or car that kills other people.
List of things that you can use to kill people:
Knives
Ropes
Shovels
Baseball bats
Household cleaners
Plastic bags
Pillows
Machetes
Bush trimmers
Chainsaws
Vehicles
Cords
Bathtubs
Pools
I mean I could go on forever. Let's write our senators and get these bans going eh?
How to tell if an egg is still fresh.......put it in some water. If it sinks it's fresh, if it floats throw it out. Store eggs with the pointy end down...the rounded end has an air gap between the shell and inner membrane. Storing the egg with air gap at the top keeps it fresh longer.
I loved getting the Kinder eggs when I was little (lived in England). Cracks me up that these are banned....
On the topic of teens eating magnets - remember tide-pods? Not sure if that was an issue overseas, but in the US, teens were trying to earn Darwin Awards.
Thin the herd, so sad
