I actually did choke on a Life Savers as a child. I was at my grammy's house and had the bright idea to lie down on my back with it in my mouth, despite my mother's warnings. Once she realized what was happening, she dialed 911, and two policemen came to coach me on how to handle it. All throughout, the hole in the middle did actually allow me to breathe while it was lodged in my throat. I ended up just sitting there until it dissolved enough to slide the rest of the way down my throat. My mom wouldn't let me eat hard candy for some time after the whole ordeal. Mr. Crane's brilliant idea really helped me in that situation. It's my fault for not heeding the advice of my mother. If you have children, nieces, nephews, or grandchildren, advise them about having good posture and not lying down while eating hard candy.

I once had a piece of hard candy that was life savers like when I was a teenager and it got stuck in my throat for a while before I coughed it out. I never touch hard candy since. I'm too scared. There was a episode of 30 Rock where Liz or someone said living alone means you have to worry about choking to death on food because nobody will save you, and that's definitely my worry.

Personally, I find biting into a Granny Smith more unpleasant that drinking squirts of straight lime juice for vitamins. The taste is just as sour but not as sweet, the fruit is hard as wood, and the fruit is awkwardly huge... big enough that you have to either bite away uselessly small nibbles or wrench away huge slabs which poke the roof of your mouth until mashed apart. Granny Smiths are pretty much giant versions of normal apples that needed more time on the tree. But green apple CANDY tends to be tasty.

Honestly doubt it. It's just one product owned by Ferrero, which doesn't do many candy products compared to, say, Hershey's or Mars themselves. Plus, the Kinder Surprise Eggs DO violate a law, which when banned had been around for around 50 years, in the US that prohibits hidden inedible objects in food, as stated in the video. Chances are, the FDA spotted it before a suit had been made and the eggs were promptly banned due to the blatant lack of validity under US law.

It's in the water, it's in the soil, so of course it's in the food we eat. The candy had twice the legal limit, which means someone eating two of the other candy is going to get the same amount. They should have looked into what source they were using had the lead in it and done something about it, but if you think you aren't consuming lead regularly, you're fooling yourself.

Living in the US, I actually prefer the yowies chocolate egg then the kinder joy. Its flavor and the joy of having the toy inside is way better :)

I was initially confused on seeing Skittles in the thumbnail, wondering if there was a choking hazard incident but upon hearing lime got replaced, I was like “oh yeah, I remember that!” I like green apple as well (and it can still be found with a different flavor) but I think a lot of people were really used to the flavor combination of Original and that’s why the backlash was so immense.

The only Kinder products we have in America are the chocolates,Bueno,and the Hippos during Christmas. I had to get someone to bring me Surprise Eggs over from Canada or New Zealand. I did find them for sale in Knoxville a few years back...for 3 bucks an egg.

As someone named Tanner who's alltime favorite candy is Reese's, I think I've found my evil doppelganger 😅 (great vid as always!!)

Ok a slight correction, kinder eggs are banned not due to choking hazards but rather a very old law that bans non-food items in food. It exists from a time to stop things like adding sawdust to flour to make the flour last longer, as well as other less scrumptious things.

I preferred the lime Skittles, but I wasn't too upset about it. I just really like citrus, especially citrus candy 😋

The Life Savers story is interesting although unfortunately not true! Crane put a hole in them to make them stand out against the pillow-shaped mints he was competing against. They were called Life Savers because of their shape, which resembles a life-saver that you would find on a ship. There is still a little irony in the real story, though. One of his sons committed suicide by jumping off of a ship's stern. (This was many years after the candy's invention. )

"Howdy Howdy." Where the fuck is the ghost being like "Yah!"

These lists always fascinate me and, in many cases, bring about some serious nostalgia. Thanks for these videos!

I would recommend you try Kinder Joy if you can, as the the chocolate side is actually really good, with small Ferro Rocher type treats in a cream base. The toys still tend to be cheap of course, but the candy itself is better.

I was so confused when you said that Kinder was banned here in the US I didn’t know Kinder Joy was technically different. Learn something new everyday I suppose

Holy Heisenberg, Josh, you _ROCK!!_ I _love_ how you included a short clip from the JN movie!!! Granted, it helped you illustrate what you were discussing, but I love that you did that! You're flippin' awesome!!! 🤩

Meanwhile, in a US jail: "So what are you in for?" "I took chocolate eggs across the border."

It shouldn't be that hard to separate the egg halves from each other and put the yellow toy capsule away until you've finished eating the egg. I managed to do it as a kid.

I guess you're not stupid, then. A lot of our laws here in the US are made to protect the very stupidest people, and small children with very stupid parents that don't supervise them.

I actually found an error, in 4:07 instead of putting the Australian flag you put the flag of New Zealand 🇳🇿 I don’t blame for you for this mistake because many people even my friends and family get confused with the two flags. It’s okay though Strider

As a German, I loved the Kinder Eggs as a kid. I haven’t had them in a while though because I moved to America in 2014 and last had a Kinder Egg when we visited in 2019.

I don't understand how kids can choke on the toys when they come in big, plastic yolks. Anyway, sorry about that.

There used to be an international store that sold Kinder Surprises in the USA. I got two of them, and I had no issue with smuggling them back to my home.

I think that’s where I found them too, well at least at a similar store.

I’ve always wanted to try the kinder eggs bc I always watched those vids- I don’t watch them anymore obviously but i wanna try them still

I like both green apple and lime. Skittles has multiple different flavors spanning across multiple different packs so there wasn't any excuse not to bring back lime in a separate pack from the original while also keeping green apple. Do you know why? Because they did it twice. In the orchard and darkside packs which for some reason were both discontinued.

Fun fact: when I was 9 visiting Canada, I actually MANAGED to smuggle a kinder surprise egg across the border!

Good thing you didn’t get caught

New movie, Reese’s chocolate saves the world.

OH GOD, I remember the Life Saver holes. They were wonderful.

I honestly prefer the Lime Skittles. I never even knew Lifesaver Holes existed until maybe five or so years ago and I doubt I would have liked the OG Four Loko (it got banned when I was 18,below America's legal drinking age) since I didn't like the current variant.

I mean...I get where you're coming from with the Lime Skittles: it's a preference thing. I've just never been a fan of apple candy; it's kinda the same problem I have with banana flavored candy: it just never tastes like the real thing. Maybe I'm just more in to sour things than sweet things? But I've always loved the Lime flavor the most; it changed over time to me having a sort of 3-way-tie with the Orange, Strawberry, and Grape flavors, but yeah...Apple just always tasted so gross to me. I think I remember they even briefly replaced Strawberry with Watermelon and...yeah...it was just straight-up nasty. :/

I loved life saver holes! I wish tangy life savers were still being made. For every person that likes green apple replacing lime, there’s about 10 more that hated it!

I _love_ the Toxic Waste brand of sour candy! I buy their Smog Balls and Hazardously Sour Candy (the individually-wrapped candies inside the yellow container designed to resemble a nuclear waste barrel). I had no idea they ever made something the Nuclear Sludge candy bar, and I certainly didn't know it had high levels of lead in it. If I had more money to spare, I'd buy one of those candy bars - not to eat, but to have just for the sake of having it.

"Limón" is lime in Spanish, pronkunced "lee-moan"

I will always pronounce it as lie-mon, it’s too ingrained into me at this point 😢

Speaking as someone who didn't like the lime being replaced by green apple, allow me to explain. When I eat Skittles, especially the originals, I like to grab two skittles and eat them together. Which you couldn't do with green apple skittles because they didn't pair well with anything. The original flavors, lemon, lime, grape, orange & strawberry, all complement each other very well. But the green apple was over-powering. You could take a green apple with any other flavor and it would just taste like green apple. The green apple flavor was also one where a few went a long way. So, I'd only eat a couple on those rare occasions when I did get a bag of original Skittles and the rest of the greens would go in the bin.

I am shocked to say, there is an import store in Rundle Mall here in Adelaide that actually still has some Toxic Waste candies. I've never been interested in trying them (and I'm certainly never going to now), but I've seen them on the shelves of that store for several years now. I guess they don't know about the lead in it... but their customers clearly do, since they are still there, unsold, to this very day.

About pronouncing the Lucas Limon product, as you explained, it is a Mexican product. Therefore, the word "Limon" is simply the Spanish word for "Lime." So, technically, it is meant to be written out as "Limón," with the pronunciation being "lee-MOHN." If you ever see a package of chips like Lay's being labeled as "Limón" flavor, this is the same thing. I hope that helps!

Hi PhantomStrider. This is an amazing video. Have you ever considered doing a top 10 Harry Potter TV video on what you want to see?

I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't "Kinder Surprise Contraband."
