This shocked me - According to Wikipedia, 10 children 'worldwide' have died from choking on parts of the Kinder toy since it's launch in 1968. This equates to roughly 1 in every 5.4 years. By comparison, every day, 22 children and teens (1-17) are shot in the United States alone. This means that since Kinder was introduced 54 years ago, 10 children around the world choked on Kinder toys while 433,620 US kids were shot. Clearly banning Kinder eggs is justified - in the US..
We should ban tubs, pools, and boats. "Drowning remains in the top 5 causes of unintentional injury-related death from birth to 5 years old."...CDC
Yeah.. priorities ya know.
@@ShenandoahTim something I’ve noticed is that most American swimming pools don’t have a fence around them…. In Australia we have strict regulations regarding pools being fenced.
@@sharaharper2253 Here that varies by state or local government. The majority require it, but not all. I think fewer people per capita drown in pools in the states than Australia. I'm guessing you all just have more pools per capita than we do. I live in the mountains about 120 miles west of Washington DC (Washington is on the east coast of the US, midway up) very few people have pools, but my family lives in south Texas, hot and dry, everyone has one.
USA isnt a developed country! Its not even a democratic country votes for president can be worth 3 times that of another, also the elections are run by politicians! This is not allowed in developed democratic countries! Trumps mates where able to remove lots of voting booths in Democrat areas! To deny them their right to vote!
"Mama, i wanna have a Kinderegg"
"No, its too dangerous, go to play with the gun"
Sad reality.
Only in the USA are they so terrified of being sued because the parent cannot teach their children to eat only the sweet and not the toy.
I mean... Seriously, at least the parents should know...so what's the problem?
USA is the country where you must warn people from putting cats in the washmachine or in the microwave oven...

@@ferruccioveglio8090 Or not to put your d**** on the blade of a running chainsaw.
@@ferruccioveglio8090 Very logical, if you take their general knowledge into account.
In Germany, not every street has crosswalks. And when you learn to drive, you're taught to pay attention to people crossing the streets
yep, and children are taught to watch out for cars, and to use crosswalks / traffic lights if any are in sight. Basically: everybody should be acting carefully, but the more damage you can do if you get it wrong, the more you'd better watch out.
To me it's mind blowing how kinder eggs are threat to children but then nothing is done against guns which is the number one killer of children in the USA
Was coming here to say the same but i guess the bullets are not covered in chocolate so it's ok
Kinder eggs are very dangerous for kids but guns and fireworks are fine. 🤯
its America what you except :D :D you can buy a fucking gun in the Supermarket(for your kids) but they could choke on fucking kinder eggs :D
I watch a lot of war documentaries and I cannot count the number of atrocities committed by rogue nations/units/individuals armed with illegal Kinder Eggs.
You don't get it? It's not okay for them to die on their own accord. It IS however okay if you kill them cause then there is a person left to blame.
They can't have kinder eggs, but at least they can grab daddies guns from the sock drawer. Nuts.
They are allowed nuts. Even though they kill more people than kinder surprise and cheese 😉
Clearly guns are safer than chocolate with a toy inside
@@JoeMartinez18
Ikr. Just imagine how much more children are killed by toys than guns. They should ban all small toys.
@@potatomagnet7070 ban the kinder eggs worldwide they kill 😭
@@JoeMartinez18 yeah because we all know accident with guns dont happen in the home or mass shooting are not a regular thing in the US. oh wait a minute.... 🤔 yes they are. But let's ban the chocolate eggs. Yeah that logic seems ligit.
Homeland Security against cheese smugglers really had me rolling on the floor from laughter. I didn't realize they were THAT bored.
Did they try to build the Wall on the wrong border then? Between the USofA and Quebec might have been more appropriate.
As a French fan of cheese I can confirm that we are completely okay with the non pasteurize ones and that you are really missing out (especially the Reblochon mentioned this one is very good!) but that give you more to enjoy if you travel I guess!
Racist Comment That Only European & Canadian kids Are Smarter Than Kids In The USA
Are You Implying That Kids In Africa, The Middle East, South America & Asia Are Not or Less Smart?
Pas sûr qu'un palais americain, nourrit au "cheddar" industriel en boite de conserve toute sa vie puisse apprécier un fromage de caractère.
Je pense qu'il aurait la même réaction qu'après avoir bu sa première bière 😆
J'opterais plutot pour une approche progressive : fromage "doux" genre brie/vrai cheddar, puis fromage de brebis/camembert/chèvre, et enfin reblochon.
Mais pour ce qui est du level du morbier, maroilles et roquefort, je pense que tu peux oublier (sachant qu'ils sont déjà clivants chez les français) 😂
@@blazikarbon One thing he is right about, you don't keep Casu Martzu near other food.
Those maggots jumps quite high, they often keep it in a bag but you'll see the little bastards jumping out anyway.
But they also make the cured version, which is not creamy, it's quite dry, and it doesn't have living maggots.

They might not be as ok if their unpasteurized cheese were from the US though, since they have way more salmonella et.c. than we have in Europe. I mean, they can’t let their kids taste the cake batter in fear of getting sick from raw egg, while we wouldn’t think twice about cracking an egg to make homemade mayo (or as some people do, add hole raw eggs to smoothies) …
The US bans a darts garden toy, but allows everyone to own a gun. Totally logical :D
Don’t forget the Kinder eggs 😂 the country is finished.
We banned lawn darts in Canada too (for good reason), but have strong gun control laws and allow Kinder Eggs. Lol.
@@blaraldzuvielgesagt7523 all that and most don’t know what continent they are in. Or what gender they are 😞😂
1 child dies,,, no more darts. Children die daily,,, we need more ARs
USA - not noted for intelligence,only money making and war!
Every (almost every) kid in Germany eats kinder eggs like this: break it in a half, take the yellow egg out, open it, being disappointed it's not the fancy item they wanted, then drown their sorrow in the chocolate. Joke aside: every kid knows that there is a toy inside and they are quite careful. But the age regulation is important: not for children under three due to small parts/choking hazard. (This warning is on every egg)
choking on huge big yellow capsules is almost impossible, and choking on small parts of toys does not apply exclusively to these eggs, but to ALL toys with small parts !!!
@@Anson_AKB When I was young in hospital, a kid was brought suffocating, purple, because he put a bean in his nose and inhaled it, thus blocking his trachea.
I'd say ALL beans, coins, pebbles, bug and small objects should be banned, and ALL kids live in a white wall nut house room to be kept safe.
Or the parents just have to supervise them instead of doing stupid things.
In Europe 1 warning is enough to get the point 😂
How to warn people which cannot use their brain properly🤭 when I watch videos on Tiktok with americans....OMG...stupidity is full on all level🤦♂️
also the US compliant ones still have a toy choking hazard in them!
On a visit to the US in the 1990s I discovered jaywalking and found the concept crazy.
Being British I have always had the freedom to cross a road (except for motorways) whenever I like and I’ve never had a problem.
The only person I have known to be hit by a vehicle, was a guy from San Francisco who told me that when he was in London he looked the wrong way before crossing and got hit by a double decker bus! He was more shocked that he received extensive medical treatment and didn’t have to pay a penny.
In Berlin I am often admonished by mainly elderly people for crossing the street on red on a pedestrian crossing despite the fact that there were near or far no vehicles in sight. It is actually illegal but I've done it in full sight of police officers, with no comeback. I was taught as a kid to only cross the road when it was safe. But I was brought up in the UK.
I heard about "loitering" in US. My friend wait for ride on parking of shopping mall for 10 min, and police showed up, so he must to explain what exactly he was doing there. They checked his ID and and tell him to go somewhere else, because he was loitering. And it's actual crime. For real. wtf
Freedom baby..
Kinder egg: Has caused 10 choke deaths in 50 years
Regular hot dog: Causes 3-10 choke deaths every single year
US: BAN THE EGG!
Yeah. Probably more children have died due to the sugar in the egg than due to the toys. Ridiculous.
anyway some children choked not because they ate the plastic egg inside the chocolate egg, but because the ate the toy inside the plastic egg after opened it (and that's can happen with all the toys, a few children died choked by a Lego or by a balloon for example). And I assure you that a 3 years old child is not able to open that plastic egg without the help of an adult.
I am surprised by the hot dog choking... are they "bad" hot dogs, with problems in it? it is a genuine question, I am french, having eaten only one hot-dog in my life!
@@kaki3151 Just regular hot dogs, people just choke on food sometimes, especially when there are held contests to eat as much as they can in a limited amount of time
@@kaki3151 C'est le diamètre de la saucisse de Francfort qui fait qu'un enfant peut s'étouffer en mangeant un morceau ,il faudrait la couper en deux sur toute la longueur .
The USA in a nutshell: not allowed to eat chocolate with a toy inside, because that’s too dangerous for kids, but they can walk around with guns 🤦🏻♀️
Never heard of anybody chocking on an Kinder egg. We all know that there is a toy inside. That’s why we bought them.
Greeting from Germany ✌🏻
I saw an "americans try" video with kinder egg f. It was the first time I heard it was illegal there, I was so shocked. Hald a minute later, I witness one of the panellists shoving the egg as a whole in his mouth. F*in adult, I wasn't even certain of whether he was joking or simply acted on his first instict. It was then and there that I was convinced it is the right choice for america to keep them eggs banned.
You never heard but in the video he literally searches for it and it says that ten kids worldwide in total. Still a ridiculous number compared to kids that died because of guns in the us
Neither here in México kids are chocked with that candy. I remember when traveled to US someone told me if I brought that needed to ride off thought was joking!!!
Not an American,but I've never heard of a nation executing millions for being different. And no,they weren't the mythical "Nazis",a seperate people, they were everyday Germans. Everyday Germans were the Nazis.
Actually,yes I have.
Most people that eat kinder eggs in Germany choke on gas.
As a kid i got this metal samurai figurine in one of my many Kinder Eggs, and i always loved it.
A few years ago i found out from a Kinder Egg toy collector site that it was part of a series of four figurines.
I found the other three on eBay and reworked them into zipper pulls for my gym bags (martial arts), so now twice a week i get to carry my old friend with me to the dojo.
In the Netherlands you'll often find these plastic Kinder Egg toys on peoples' desks, no matter their age.
They have become a cultural thing both children and adults still enjoy.
It's funny because the way they use bacteria or animals for cheese is one of he most natural processes you could have, but for America that's of course too natural. It's right on brand with the eggs (they're non-refrigerated here, you just buy them off the shelf and they last much longer due to the natural protection layer that's washed off in the US).
RIGHT ??? All eggs in american shows are so white, it always intrigued me, and when i said my eggs here in France are brownish/beige, my american friends were like "wtf is it safe?? Why is it brown??" I also told them my favorite part of baking a cake, since childhood, is to lick the mixing bowl after putting the cake in the oven and they were like "BUT THERE IS EGGS IN THE PREPARATION AREN'T YOU SCARED OF SALMONELLA" and uhm... fair point. I never got it tho.
@@asilnorahc8910 brown or white eggs are the same though. It doesn’t matter what color the shell is. The brown shell is just marketing to make it seem natural, but the cheaper white eggs are identical. But yeah the risk is much lower for us.
@@lolololol7573 I don't see what "cheaper white eggs" you are talking about though? It really seems to me, from experiences, that all eggs where I live are various shades of brown. Maybe I'm just super lucky to live in a place where all eggs are 'natural' ? That's why the white eggs on TV always struck me as weird, it's because I've literally never seen any IRL. Not on supermarket shelves, nor in gardens where people keep hens for their eggs. Some are fairer than the others, but not WHITE. I don't think they're chosen for their brownness for marketing, in a same box of eggs I find various shades. I know they're sorted by size, I never heard of sorting eggs by color.
Maybe you're right and I've just lived under a rock all these years, but really. I have never seen white, WHITE eggs IRL.
@@asilnorahc8910 That might be because in your area they have specific type of chickens. It's quite simple: a red earlobe on the chicken is laying brown eggs. A chicken with a white earlobe will give white eggs. Your region probably has mostly chickens with red earlobes.
The thing is, both are natural and normal. However because many people think brown eggs are better, the white eggs are more often for sale much cheaper. It's definitely 100% marketing. It's even funnier because white lobe chickens require less food but lay more eggs, however due to this "natural" bias these eggs are mostly use in products and not for whole sale.
Both eggs are the same, assuming the chickens are fed the same food and get proper nutrients. Fun fact, the interesting part is in America they get fed different food, usually a lot of corn. This causes their yolk inside to be more yellow, unlike in other countries where it's more of an orange color (if you google "yolk us vs eu" you'll get plenty of results).
@@lolololol7573 Well, you learn something new everyday. Thanks!
You probably spared me future egg-comparison-based embarrassement.
As a Belgian, I always laugh when Americans call themselves 'The land of Freedom' because compared to many countries here in Europe the US looks like a concentration camp. 😂
It IS a concentration camp.
A bloody whole continent of the concentration camp you ask me.
Concentration camp with dumb down, obese, sick, kept ignorant slaves
And every time an American is against something beneficial for the country (like universal healthcare), they hate it because it would "take away their freedom" ...
The projection that every other country has less freedom than the US is just mind-boggling ... it's insane how stupid that is ...
Actually is the inverse. Nonetheless America still hates freedom, since forbidding fireworks to FDA's world's stricter regulation code to mandatory vaccination. Ad nauseum America hates freedom.
"The moment we find out that something puts children in danger, legislators pull out all the stops to insure that we try to keep our kids safe" UNLESS they get shut at school. Then we do nothing. Oh wait, thoughts and prayers.
The US logic against Rampages with weapons is ...... legalize more guns. 🤯😵💫🤯
Wasn't it Trump who wanted teachers to carry guns in schools for "safety reasons"?
Yeah, thoughts and prayers really help...not 🤦🏼♀️
…unless it’s “gender-affirming” hormones (puberty blockers) and mutilation surgery. THEN it’s “safe and effective,” and oh-so-wonderful for their feelings and self-esteem. What utter 🐂💩
why didn't they simply rebrand the lawn darts as either "sports tools" (like normal darts) or as weapons ?
then they still could be sold at all those major outlets that also sell weapons, and children would be able to play with them ...
😂 "thoughts and prayers" it's so true. Bloody rediculous
As a french person with a family member in the cheese industry, I laughed so much XD.
Also, the cheese with like green/bleu things in it, it's call "Roquefort" because it's a name reserve if the cheese is made in the city with that name or its call "Bleu" , Blu. Yea like the color. And that's things in the cheese are bacteria introduce in the process of the cheese. It's really flavoring apparently -
It does make you wonder what American cheese is. Is it just plastic? I think it might be. 😂
If you are referring with bacteria to the blue bits, those are not bacteria. That's mold, specifically the fungus Penicillium Roqueforti. (Same family of fungi as in Penicillin)
And it’s not only Roquefort that has a blue cheese. Stilton etc
Wow that kinder egg stuff is wild to me. When I was at an age when I could have tried to eat the toy and choke on it, I wasn't given any. When I got a bit older, I wasn't able to open the yellow contenant, I needed help from my parents to open it. At that time, it was still things to build inside, with tiny parts to assemble and stickers to glue on it, ... But then at some point, they started to make already made toys and that removed all of the joy I had before.
I'm Belgian, I live in Germany, I went to France and Sweden, I never saw lawn darts in my life. Maybe it's not forbidden because it's not a thing?
But seriously, America, banning kinder eggs and lawn darts to protect children is super important, but how many children die every year because of fire arms? Just asking.
Never heard of lawn darts here in Norway.
But it might have been popular in the UK. Decades ago...
Regarding dangerous toys ;
When I was about 8, my dad bought me a small hunting knife.
Bowie style.
So I'd learn not to cut myself !
(While carving wood flutes, bows and arrows, and gutting fish...)
None kid has ever been chocked here in México with that candy, I still eat it sometimes. But really is ok having guns there in US that are really dangerous!!! Don't understand
What, glue?
Must have been before my time.
But putting together the toy from parts was the best part. I had some incredibly cool stuff, like a flying carpet with a passgener on it, circling around the tip of .... well, a plastic stick fixed into the yellow capsule, but it looked just like a roof.
I remember when the change happened. I liked the building stuff, and then suddenly there were only figurines. I liked the smurf ones and I started collecting the crocodiles, but I didn't play with them like I did the built stuff.
I think it is hilarious that you are afraid of a chocolate egg with a toy in it yet you are ok with leaving loaded guns around your home's
Yes and nobody noticed that like it's fine 😂😂😂

I really like the reason they banned cheese because of cheese mites.
It’s like you can’t get allergies or other reactions while eating strawberries, or drinking milk in general and what not.
Same goes for jaywalking. The US was incompetent to help pedestrians so they made it a misdemeanor or a felony to cross the street where you want 😂
Kinder eggs aka Überraschungseier (surprise eggs called in Germany): 10 deaths, cause of choking of toy parts.
Meanwhile guns: almost half a million deaths caused by guns to children (not adults) alone since about 50 years (when Kinder eggs launched).
It really seems like American (US) citizens really need that extra extra care aka rules and laws, cause they can’t handle it.
Try googling,"How to hide a body."

I feel like a lot of these stupid laws came from the idea that the government should protect us from ourselves instead of taking personal responsibility
Yes, it's all about control, not freedom!
Yeah, our country was free, but people keep voting for regulation after regulation.
Mostly the examples seemed to be blocking imports, or in other ways promoting US commercial interests above individual rights.
Pity they don't protect you from the food industry.
Actually, the Kinder Joy wasn't made for the USA but for the summer break. For decades, supermarkets and kiosks hadn't fancy air conditioning, refrigerated transport was incredibly expensive, and cars hadn't air conditioning either. So, many manufacturers decided to shut down their chocolate selling in the summer or tried to find ways around. I remember when Ferrero announced the Kinder Joy at the ad break of kids TV directly after they declared the summer break for the Kinder egg. Ferrero solved the issue of molten eggs by just replacing it with a creme perfectly fluid at summer conditions. In the autumn, they announced in their ads that the Kinder egg is back and the Kinder Joy goes into the break. Since the introduction, they swap the product selling every summer as far as I can remember it, and we loved it when we were children because both products were great but kinda boring other time. The swapping adds variety. That they can sell the new product into the USA what is kinda ridiculous because just 10 kids died from choking the toy in 50 years of selling it and everyone of them died from choking the toy after they opened the egg because the yellow cover is in fact too big to be swallowed by a normal human. Not even most adults can swallow it. So, what's the point of allowing the sell with the toy separated but forbid the sell of the egg with an anti-ckphoking protection around the toy? That's stupid ah.
It is interesting how many of these can be reduced to parents not adequately supervising their children.
You know, a smartphone display is more important these days...
To me all the situation would be solved only if parents Say to their Kids that when you're opening this egg you've Just got tò remove the Surprise and then eat the remaining part of the egg
We care about our kids, but that doesn't mean we're going to pay attention to to the little shits. Lol
In Norway we were taught in primary school how to look each way when crossing a street (even if there is a zebra crossing), and how it is your fault if you are hit by a car not having followed the traffic rules. It was also made clear how it is hard to look around corners and we were shown how fast cars would approach from different distances. I think this is a better approach because people are going to jaywalk anyway, and teaching people how to do it safely honestly seems like the safer choice.
To look left, right, left once more.
It was never rocket science to kids, adults can't control their drama and need to create snowflakes worse than they are. Where is Darwin when you need him?!
Similar here in Germany. And traffic lights are a bit of an easy going approach. If there is no car, we just walk. Unless there are children. We try to be good role models, so we wait for green.
I still remember as kid when we lived on a busy 4 lane street, we would go halfway (between opposing traffic), wait there, and then go the rest. Basically treating it like a pair of one-way streets. And obviously looking out for traffic. Basically, if you are the soft part of a collision, you take extra care. Same with biking on the wrong side or the sidewalk. Always be cautious and assume the other person isn't.
In Italy we teach children to cross by calculating the pace of the car and the amount of attention the driver is apparently paying to you. Works most of the time
Tok du ikke gåsertifikatet i barnehagen?
Indeed. My father taught me even to deal with fire ar the age of five! In the fifties we used to play outside in the meadows, at the riverside, in the forest. I also knew how to use a knife etc. We built huts etc. My parents thought , better to teach me.
if they're gonna ban cheese because it can cause an allergic reaction, then they might as well ban everything else that causes allergic reactions too (basically every food in existence, assuming you have the right allergy)
I’ve spent 13 vacations in the USA and one of the best questions I’ve been asked was “do you have Stilton cheese in England” 😂😂
If you can't eat Danish Blue, Gorgonzola, Stilton, Brie, Camembert, Roquefort, Cambozola etc, then you don't know what you are missing.
And the many thousands of regional cheeses all over europe.
@Fee watt living in europe, i hate most of those "stinky cheeses". (loving fresh brie/camembert/etc, don't want the aged ones even at arms length)
but on the other hand i don't care about them at all since nobody forces me to buy and/or eat them !
i also wouldn't eat the maggot cheese, but allow them to be available anywhere else as long as the maggots are well contained and can't "crosscontaminate" other food.
It's not "can't" but that I "don't" like them.
In contrast almost all of the "cheese" I have had in the US should be banned and anyone selling it should be locked up. It should not even be referred to as a food product.

Well… the US are responsible for the fact user’s manuals contain warnings like “do not put pets in this microwave”, “may contain peanuts” on the bag of peanuts, “This product may contain eggs” on the box of eggs, “Do not hold the wrong end of a chainsaw”, “Do not iron clothes on body” or “Contents may catch fire” on a blow torch gas bottle. But there is no problem when 8yo girl gets a pink AR15 with a Hello Kitty sticker as a birthday present. :)
Really? They have those warnings?Or are you kidding?
Guns are designed to be dangerous, not the items you mentionned. (On the user's manual of a gun, you can read mentions like "May need several uses to be lethal", "Proper aiming is required", “Do not shoot last"...
@@valsyaranamual6853 unfortunately, that is for real.
@@emileduvernois6680 I thought the whole point of shooting is that after that, nobody is alive & present any more to shoot at you, AKA you're the last one shooting?
Also: a bag of peanuts is designed to contain peanuts, and a blow torch gas bottle is very much designed to hold a gas that not only might, but _will_ catch fire.
I think one of my elementary school classmates could also be responsible for the “do not put pets in this microwave” warnings (not from the US).
Always cracks me up when americans mention freedom😅👏🏻
Speaking of Not Just Bikes, they made a video called "Why cars rarely crash into buildings in the Netherlands". I found that the most illuminating about the difference between european and north american roads.
Here in the UK we have so many amazing varieties of flavours of cheese. Thankfully we don't have anything like the Sardinian maggot cheese (that I'm aware of).
As an Aussie parent the experience of a Kinder egg was for me to buy one on occasion for my kids to which you would give as a treat, then sit down and assemble the toy with your child. It was a fun family time experience. Not give as a regular chocolate bar. Maybe it's just me but I doubt it.
Cheers mate 👍
I had the same thought. I remember eating Kinder eggs as a shared experience, and really as a parent, wouldn't you want to see the excitement and joy as your child finds out what's in their Kinder egg? It puzzles me how some people seem to buy stuff for their kids and leave them to it without checking that it's safe.
Yes, that is what we do as a special treat here in Germany! ❤️
Yes! In Ireland you get your kid the kinder egg, they have a little treat, but they also have the toy to then play with. You get your kids the treat and then they mess with the toys inside, the toy being different then what their sister got or whatever and they're playing with them and swapping them. They're like Christmas Cracker toys which are also a surprise. And also not in the US. Sadly.
It was really expensive in the past (I am not sure how it is today, I don't see it in shops that often now), so it was definitely not a regular chocolate bar.
Yeah, thats how I grew up with Kinder eggs. I mean, what kind of parent would just toss that to a small child, when every1 knows, kids just love to taste/eat, stuff up their noses etc all kinds of stuff? Plus, it really was something special, both in getting it and in having the sharing with ur parent(s).
Apparently, US "freedom" includes leaving small kids to fend for themselves, then banning everything a 2y old cant figure out.
When my kid were too small to open the Kinder egg, I would do it for them, gave them chocolate, assemble the toy if needed and they never put any of above in their mouth. If you teach kids what is edible and what is not, trust me, they get it. They are humans, only smaller 😂
Question remains, are americans human?
give them time, they will ban the Kinder Joy as well because someone will let their kid attempt to eat the toy because it came in the same foil packet as the chocolate..
Why even attempt parenting when TikTok exists? :P
How does one even choke on a kinder egg. You would have to eat the whole egg in one bite and thats just a weird way to eat chocolate.
@@Jebu911 The toy parts are supposed to be the Darw... choking hazard.
My family had these and we loved lawn darts!
In Britain, a pedestrian crossing a side street has precedence over a car turning into it. This was reinforced six months ago.
The Jaywalking issue is in fact very relevant.
Because by criminalizing the freedom to walk, city structures tailor-made for the automobile industry are created and not for increasing people's quality of life. Instead of pedestrian-friendly cities and therefore more suitable for people to interact with each other throughout the city, the only places suitable for relationships among others are those suitable for increasing consumption. And the rest, delimited by vehicular needs.
Absolutely, the whole zoning infrastructure is designed for cars. It's appealingly bad for people.
This comment made me even more sad for you...
That's something that felt really weird to me when I first was in US towns, outside of the, let's say, leisure parts where a lot of pedestrians are expected: the moment I'm out of those areas, I barely see anybody. If at all. And the pedestrian walks are tiny, it'd be awkward to pass by some oncoming pedestrian.
It felt like ghost towns to me, because i'm used to people walking: the tram station, or bus station, or shop.
AFAIK, that anti-pedestrian propaganda was the rule, not the exception. Public transport within cities is a gods-given: you save the costs for a gasoline or even owning a car, malls and other public places don't have to be surounded by acres of parking lots, no time wasted on searching or a parking space ... but there's definitly astroturfing going on to remind US-Americans that there's no life without a car.
Yes the car was getting a bad rep for the rising death rate of pedestrians, the auto industry lobbied for jaywalking to be a law, thus shifting blame to the pedestrians
It is somehow strange because ppl in the USA (with exception of a few big cities) hardly ever walk..

Too many children and young people are inhaling this stuff and it's killing them.

Well that is the USAs bastardisation of Libertarianism fundamentally.
In which they are taught to only be concerned with their own Freedom, Liberties & Rights.
Their version barely has any consideration or mention of how they can impede the Rights, Liberties and Freedoms in the pursuit of exercising their own. Which is only the most overt, direct and obvious of ways.
Consideration for how exercising their own may impede or even harm others capability to exercise ttheirs in any less of a direct manner however?
Such circumstances are twisted & perverted to instead place all of the onus on the other person.
As we saw in the video with pedestrians being blamed for getting hit by a car.
Whereas here in Australia, cars must give way to pedestrians and the driver is at fault. Provided the pedestrian isn't crossing an arterial road, highway or motorway that is.
On such roadways the pedestrian must cross at designated crossings, the driver will be at fault if they hit a pedestrian on a designated crossing. If a pedestrian is hit when not using a designated crossing on such roads then they will be at fault.
Additionally in the instance of motorways; lt's illegal for a pedestrian to even be on it.
This is due to the higher volume of traffic including significantly more heavy vehicles, all of which are traveling at much higher speeds than on other roads.
It's basically a law because it is too dangerous for a pedestrian to be on a motorway, not just for themselves but also for the motorists.
It's depressing that the US version of Libertarianism has been pervasively seeping into Australian society. Sigh...

14:49 This wasn't just extremely bad luck, that was a normal injury with those. Those darts were made of solid metal and were extremely good at penetrating bones and had an uncanny abillity to penetrate softer tissues (just google lawn dart injuries). Those darts caused brain damage, because when falling down, they would get enough kinetic energy and had enough weight to at least fracture the skull or even penetrate into the brain.
That's why they got banned, because they were to be thrown up into the air, where they would become potentially lethal projectiles. Just to fall down on the target. If anyone is interested in some statistics from a case study in 1990 where 75 cases in children got reviewed, there you go:
675 emergency department visits per year were caused by lawndarts
82% of injuries were above the victims shoulders
head (54%)
eye (17%)
face (11%)
54% of injured children needed to be hospitalized
The datrts had a lethality rate of 4%

Note how when he googled it it said ten have choked on the toy parts after eating the chocolate, they didn't choke on the thing inside, they removed and unpacked it first, then choked on the toy which itself wouldn't be illegal and can still be brought to the us

I've only watched the segment on Kinder eggs so far. I'm no expert on the subject, but all my red flags tell me that the reason they're illegal in the US isn't because of a real fear of children choking, but because of lobbying from the insurance industry over THEIR fear of possibly having to make some kind of large payout as a result of one or more children choking. But, I guess "Won't somebody think of the children?" is an easier sell than "Won't somebody think of the insurance companies?"
And not to get too political, BUT: seven children dying as a result of choking on Kinder Egg toys between 1989 and 2016. That's enough to make sure it's banned in the US. How many children were killed in school shootings during that same 27 year period? I don't know the answer, but I know it was a lot more than 10.
I say its the chocolate industry
I'm guessing it's because the producers of the product ae not American.
@@stephenlee5929 Possible I guess, though that wouldn't explain for the vast numbers of other imported food products that are available.
I really don’t think small children put the toy inside the capsule into their mouth because it originally came from within the chocolate egg. They put it into their mouth because they are too young to know that not everything that fits into a mouth is safe to do so.
Apart from the aspect of being able to open the capsule in the first place, giving a child young enough to run that risk a Kinder egg is as risky as giving them small toys in the first place. All kinds of stuff contains warning labels to not leave small children alone with it; the same could be applied to the Kinder egg.
THAT sounds logical.
Around here, we call the individually-wrapped slices of cheese, such as you find in MacDonald's burgers, "plastic cheese" - due to its consistency, appearance and taste, not because it's wrapped in plastic.
In the sixties Kelloggs packages came with a small toy in a tiny plastic bag hidden among the cornflakes, that usually remained undiscovered untill ending up in your actual breakfast, may have something to do with the Kinder Egg ban.
I live in the countryside in the UK. If I had to use a regulated crossing, I would have to walk to my nearest town, 12 miles away. But to get to my local town, I would have to cross many roads, jaywalk, on the way. All you need to do is use common sense when crossing a road.

French person here : mimolette and roquefort are awesome, and you should try them. :')
Mimolette is similar to gouda if you've ever tried it! Both are very orange cheeses, and gouda was often available in schools cafeterias when I was little, alongside emmental (tho they weren't really of great quality haha)
Also roquefort is top-tier, was actually my favourite cheese when I was a child
It may seem disgusting (like, technically, the green spots are mold, and you may be like "what ?? eww", and I was shocked too when I learned it back then) but I mean.. Idk, it's so good??
It's a strong cheese, and like, make a salad with nuts, endives, almonds, emmental cubes, and bits of roquefort, and mmmh it's so good !!
Another cheese I'd recommend from the top of my head is Saint-Marcellin, un classique, creamy and so soft and tasteful 👌
Those three are all very different by the way, they make a good little starter pack !
So here you go, don't judge a cheese by its cover !
If you got a chance one day to try mimolette/gouda, roquefort/bleu (similar and look about the same), and Saint-Marcellin, try them !!
Big bonus points if directly from a french fromagerie ! :D
It's part of french culture, and I'm really happy to share it with you ! ^-^
There is a large community of enthusiastic collectors of the small toys and especially the collectible figures in these "Kinder Surprise Eggs". Especially older, rare and well-preserved complete collection series are often traded for a lot of money if they ever actually sell at all.

Well, as you might have guessed, it’s not actually cheese-at least, not legally. The FDA calls it “pasteurized processed American cheese food.” In order for a food product to be a true “cheese,” it has to be more than half cheese, which is technically pressed curds of milk. So each Kraft American single contains less than 51% curds, which means it doesn’t meet the FDA’s standard.

French here! The French cheese ban was actually due to US cheese lobbyists fighting against French cheese being imported and competing with their own business… 😅 I wouldn’t eat all cheese out there, but would definitely try the maggot one over US cheese. It tastes less of cheese and more of plastic… While some disgusting looking (or very smelly) cheese can definitely surprise you taste wise!
Also: any (actual) cheese is made from interaction between some type of micro organisms (bacteria / mushrooms / mites/etc.) and milk. As yogurt is. (And bread that rises). It’s basically wasted milk, cultivated to taste a certain way. I totally get how disgusting that looks like… Funny how cheese, bread and wine are all made this way, and are what France is famous for. I guess we like leaving stuff out until it turns delicious 😂

Just to clarify, Cheddar Cheese is not American, its English. First made in the town of Cheddar, Somerset, England in 1170. I say this because the chart they showed said American Cheddar but Italian, French, Greek and Swiss cheese were left as the countries they originate, these cheeses are also made in America. So it should state English Cheddar, not American if cheeses from other parts of the world are being stated as their country of origin.

For jaywalking there should be mentioned that in the EU we have a certain amount of meters surrounding a pedestrian crossing where it is not allowed to jaywalk. So only if no "Zebrastreifen" or traffic lights is near you it is ok. If you are 10m away from the traffic lights you have to use them.
They discovered in the netherlands that giving the more vulnerable ppl in traffic more rights can actually make the roads safer, bc you give the ‘stronger’ trafficers more responsibility. You will drive a lot safer and slower and be more alert when you know that ppl can be walking or cycling in front of you at anytime, and that you are at fault if it goes wrong. Ofc this does not apply on highways (bc of high speed.)
Yeah but i still think that if their is proove that the more vulnerable person was at fault. They should not be able to punish the driver. Like thinking about passing trough a red light. Cause that happens a lot as wel

I was once stopped by police here in Norway for NOT jaywalking. I walked over the white lines and they pulled up next to me and questioned me why i would go through the trouble of taking a detour just to cross there. Needless to say, nobody ever gets fined for jaywalking, unless you run mindlessly back and forth over a major highway.
and most people that do that are usual drunk and just get detained and let go when they've sobered up the day after.
@@princessmona1432 Noone ever gets detained for jaywalking in Norway.
Down here in France, you can get fined up to 7€ for jaywalking, but in specific situations (when a pedestrian crossing exists under ~50 meters around you).
Even then, I can say that I've done it in front of cops plenty of times, never got fined for it. It's so incredibly rare to see this rule being enforced that you'd either have to actively make the most ridiculous jaywalking possible, or find cops on a very slow day in order to get fined.
@@EricTheBroBean detained? locked up?
um... even walking to red light and stuff don't get you detained in most of europe, just halted, perhaps a fine..
i suspect nowhere in Europa a police officer could detain you just 'jaywalking' , that is such a purely american word ..
for crossing the road were you are not mend too :).
In Belgium it used to be illegal in domestic roads to cross the just cross the road is the cross way was no more then 50 meter away,
else it was allowed, and they cancelled that to, at least within a few meters of the cross way /zebrapad it is now allowed to just acts as if it's 5 meter wider then painted.
About the whole cheese thing, it's funny how in some cases the US is super strict about food safety, yet the amount of the chemicals and other crap that is allowed to be used in manufacturing of food products over there but banned pretty much anywhere else is insane.....
But of course thats different cause these chemicals allow the companies to make bigger profits, and anything is obviously acceptable in the US if it means more money money money xD
"We have to secure our kids from dangers by making Kinder Eggs illegal!! Say the country with the highest infant mortality rate in the western hemisphere!
The "Jaywalking" one genuinely surprised me. I'm British and had no idea you're not allowed to cross roads anywhere. I'm not even sure how that would work over here in England. Where I live it would mean me having to walk over half a mile up the street to the traffic lights, then walking all the way back on the other side just to get to the shop across the road from my home. We're taught from a very young age to look both ways before crossing roads. Whereas I always understood "jaywalking" to mean crossing the road without regard for approaching traffic, so without looking both ways (in other words to lack basic common sense).
In Romania it is illegal to jaywalk. You must wait for the green light or to cross on the zebra crossing only. Many people do not respect this but it is not legal. Actually jaywalking is dangerous on large boulevards.
We are taught the green cross code during school multiple times so we understand how to cross a road safely.
That's the problem in the USA, we don't have common sense. No one is taught common courtesy or respect for others. This all started in the 1970's with the "Me Generation" and has stopped since.

In the UK, "jay-walking" was never repealed because it was never a law. We cross where we like as adults. If we have kids with us, we use cross-walks which are (during school start/end hours) manned by a crossing patrol (the so-called "Lollipop Ladies and Men") who guide accompanied/unaccompanied children across the road and ensure all traffic is safely stopped. Drivers have to stop by law.
You'll attract a fine for it in Australia.

In my country, you can cross a street (obviously not a Highway) freely, except when there is a pedestrian crossing within 10 meters of you and you're not using it. Cause if there is one that close, you need to use the bloody pedestrian crossing (cars also have to stop if they see someone crossing on one, so it's kind of in your own advantage to use them)
If Kinder Eggs were produced by Mars or Hershey's, they'd be fine in the US.

Funny in the context that the yellow capsule is so hard to open an adult like myself struggles doing that. Also its diameter makes it virtually impossible to swallow by an adult, let alone a child. Toys and toy parts can be a choking hazard, clearly.
But other toys with small parts (e.g. Lego) are perfectly safe to swallow in the US? BTW It's not a problem to send my US relatives hundreds of toys that we found in Kindereggs! And can we talk about Happy Meals?

They weren't banned because of a choking hazard. It is illegal in the USA for something other than the wrapping to contact a food product.

In Austria it’s written in the law that if there is a crosswalk, you have to use it. If there isn’t one, you must (obviously) check if it is safe and if you don’t “obstruct”/hinder anyone in his/her way, you can go. (There is even a number in meters that specifies how far away the crosswalk needs to be for it to be legal for you to just go, but I forgot it. Maybe around 200-400m so about ~600-1200ft)
Also, if you like your life you should always consider that someone doesn’t go the speed limit coming around a corner.
I'll cross the road where I bloody well like, thanks all the same.
I used to get alot of kinder eggs as a kid. I loved them. Every child knew there was a toy inside and went straight for the toy to start playing with it and then went for the chocolate. It would be just as likely to choke on any other small toy, especially since kinder eggs are given to kids by parents(or somebody else that can buy them) and eaten under supervision. I have personaly never heard of a fatal case tbh.
I think a huge factor in the deaths because of jaywalking is the easiness to drive a car in the US. I understand, why this is so. Much of the city isn't for pedestrians, so it's important, that people get a car.
In Germany it is much more expensive and needs a lot of more work for you, to drive. (plus TÜV) So, when you got your drivers licence in Germany, you know, that you are a safe driver.
Agreed - it's a lot harder to get a drivers licence in the UK as well, and our tests have developed along with new technology to include following sat nav ect. because that's part of every day driving these days
The city of Cincinnati does not have a jaywalking statute. For many years the police fined people for jaywalking until someone did some digging into the statutes and fought a ticket in court. The citizen was correct, there wasn't a statute and so everyone that had been fined had to have the fine refunded from city coffers.
You should see how Americans Cities looked like before cars were a thing. They were beautiful and pedestrian friendly. After cars however, the US completely forgot to think about pedestrians.

That really isn't a good metric to use as it could also be that there are better investigations. Also some places (China I'm looking at you) aren't truthful in their reporting, or hide numbers by only including those in prisons but not those incarcerated in other types of facility.

regarding the 'Jarts' : The problem is that very few other games encourage you to hurl sharp, heavy objects. And the tips have to be weighted, otherwise they wouldn't fall down metal tip first ---> those are basically spears small enough for children to comfortably throw.
The other problem is: it's _not_ the injury to playing kids themselves that's the most dangerous, it's the one to others. The kids playing at least know that they are throwing something, so before being hit, they'll make some sort of defensive movement (that's also the reason that riding a bicycle will usually cause injuries to hands and arms: you always know that there's a risk, so protective reflexes are loaded and ready to go) , but the neighbors having tea / dozing in a deck chair don't --> no protective movement until it's too late.
I have a running pseudo--joke theory that kinder surprise eggs were banned in the US bc if Americans tasted what real chocolate tastes like and not cocoa-plastic, they would never eat American plastic chocolate again
EDIT: gonna apply my plastic-food theory to American plastic cheese now too
Everytime I watch a US movie or TV show and they talk about it being 'the land of freedom', I wonder how much more 'free' they can be. Turns out, less than us lol
It's a bit suspicious when a country needs to remind itself on a regular basis of how super free they are. I know that I live in a nation with universal health care and I rarely feel the need to randomly point that out to other citizens.
for excample freedom to roam.
in nordics countries, it's okay if roam in nature just be sure you don't roam in someones yard. cause that isn't good manners.
in U.S meanwhile theres high change you have sudden lead poisoning
Most of Europe has more- and better freedom than the US, PLUS social security and healthcare for everyone ...
Musk (the multi billionaire one) seems to have every freedom going.
@@etherealbolweevil6268 He's also not American lol, seems like rich people from all of the world can be as free as they want in America
I remember playing lawn darts when I was younger, and none of us ever had to go to the hospital
Cheese from raw milk is actually illegal over here in the Netherlands too to be sold by large companies, but small artisanal local producers are off the hook for it.
And that maggot cheese is also prohibited here, including importing it, because it doesn't meet the food hygiene regulations.
Jaywalking to me is bizarre. When you cross the road, you cross where ever you want. But, you stop, look left to right, you know all that stuff your taught as a small child. Like I don’t understand the problem 😂
Millions of Australians die on American roads every year as the road safety song we learned in kindergarten would have us walking confidently into traffic in the USA .
The ruling elite need victimless crimes everyone commits like jaywalking and drinking under 21 so they can arbituary harass the poor.
Wait, what? Kinder eggs are illegal in the US? WTF those poor children! Getting an egg every Thursday with my dad while my mom was working late is one of my fondest childhood memories. Also, they're delicious. I love having one every once in a while to this day.
Sounds like a great memory. I'm an adult. Still like eating them occasionally. The chocolate is so good when it's so thin
Why only kids in US chocked??? Still I eat that delicious candy and even my nephew knows he's not supposed eat the yellow capsule. Greetings from northern México
Sweet 90's baby😅
My mom broke and fractured my right thumb, wrist, and index finger 15 times 16:22 falling off my bike and falling out of trees when she was young.
as a half italian, half austrian, I feel deeply offended by the cheese comments. Come on over, I will introduce you to the wide world of cheese!
Ryan: disgusted by the look of cheese mites.
Also Ryan: likely inhaling thousands of dust mites and their poo every day.
Welcome to the world 😂
That's what happen when you know so little about the world you live in, you can't have logical reasoning.
I've always found those "jaywalking" laws insane personally
