A question for those of the American persuasion

[oneiriad]

In the children's library I'm currently working in, we have small exhibits of various stuff - currently a small part of a collection of Kinder Egg things. Yesterday the collectors themselves were present - to answer questions and hand out chocolate - and they mentioned something very strange. Tell me, can it really be true that there are no Kinder Eggs in the US? That they are, in fact, illegal over there?

What's a kinder egg? *googles*
Oh. Nope, never seen one before, although it looks like a lawsuit waiting to happen from a hyper-litigious American we-sue-because-coffee-is-hot perspective.

In other words, this one goes in the "crazy Americans" pile?
