• I saw the images. Kinder eggs. They are by no means unique or even good. They are just cheap chocolate with cheap licensed figures. I mean, there are way better eggs if you want to make a meaningful present. He just went with what the fucker deserved. A cheap option for a cheap asshole.

      They are just cheap chocolate with cheap licensed figures.

      Kinder Surprise eggs are illegal in the US, as federal regulations deem them a choking hazard.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder_Surprise

      A 1938 law, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, prohibits confectionery products that contain a “non-nutritive object”, unless the non-nutritive object has functional value.[34] Essentially, the Act bans “the sale of any candy that has embedded in it a toy or trinket”.[35]

      If Pope Francis actually gave Vance’s children Kinder Surprise eggs — as opposed to some other type of chocolate egg — we can reasonably assume that the pope was trying to murder Vance’s kids, and that Vance probably felt that he had to strike before the pope made any subsequent attempts.

      I didn’t mean to dispute that. I just checked what you stated and posted what I found for anyone else who, like me, wasn’t up to date on this meeting. I share your assessment.
