Surprise!

My co-worker just got back from a trip to Canada and he brought me back a Kinder Surprise! For those of you who don't know what that is, man, are you missing out. Basically, they are these hollow milk- and white-chocolate eggs that have a small toy inside. They're available all over the world, save the good ol' U.S.A. - although, you can find them at a few stores. Apparently, they're illegal in the U.S.A. because of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938, which prohibits embedding "non-nutritive items" in confections. Boooring.
