Did you know Kinder Eggs are banned in the US:

Also, the book 'Tropic of Capricorn' was banned in the US until 1961 when the Supreme Court had to rule it was not obscene.

    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    We all want kinder eggs.



    Well that's not true some people don't like kinder eggs.

    Ketchup has been banned from French schools, so that those little French palates don't get infected with Americanism. Strange how some harmless things can get banned.

    It makes me wonder about the many reasons for banning to begin with.

    Safety? Ideology? Fear? Health?

    (I've never had a Kinder Egg but damned if my curiosity has recently been piqued)

    So why did the eggs get banned in the first place? Or are we all left scratching our heads trying to figure it out?

    They were banned over fears kids would choke on the toy in the middle.

    And yet, toy prizes in cereal boxes and Cracker Jacks are OK.

    Plastic bags have unnecessary (because it's just common sense) warnings printed on them.

    And what parent is gonna give their kid something that could potentially harm them?

    It's like a commercial I recently saw about those laundry detergent pods. "They're colorful and children will be drawn to them, so keep them out of their reach."

    Duh.

    It seems like the reasoning behind banning things is wildly inconsistent.

    I thought this thread was about those who've recently been sent away from these boards. CaptnCrunch is PURE sugar, I know I sell it. The stuff flies off the shelves faster than....Corn Flakes.

    If we discuss those being banned here it would get us in trouble. That was made very clear to us with the last person sent away. Even mentioning their name was against the rules. We shall focus on other silly things being banned in this thread as I am no trouble maker despite what ND says.

    What, when did I call you a troublemaker in this thread.

    There a few key elements to getting certain items banned.
    1. It has to be fun in some way, some people can't stand fun so this is instrumental.
    2. It must present itself exactly as it has been advertised. This is so the confusion factor for those that are intelligent enough to know how ridiculous it is, is high enough that they don't believe it's true.
    3. Someone must really love making ridiculous things like getting stuff banned a really high priority in their life. Like ridiculously important and it must also bring them a sense of self righteousness when it does get banned.

    So remember kids - don't be fun, intelligent, logical or honest and most importantly always have a hobby.

    Mayo on fries is better than ketchup. However the only really appropriate toppings for you fries are cheese and gravy.
