I wonder what surprises there are inside and if the team is going to assemble them all...(the child inside me is VERY jelous...)
Same here. My uncle used to smuggle them in from Germany when he would visit. I miss them. They had a large egg that had a Minion inside. Nick Sadler showed off a mini mini cooper.
For those wondering, Ragey was camping the past several weeks.
I met a guy in Seattle who made regular trips into Canada to buy them because they weren't available in Washington State. He was under the impression that the FDA had banned them because they contained non-edible parts.
Sylvius is correct. The 1938 Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act prohibits food products that have a non-edible component partially or fully embedded inside them. Kinder eggs are technically illegal in the U.S.
I have to wonder what that law says about fruits with inedible pits. Or meat with bones, for that matter.

There must be a loophole for popsicles and corndogs. 
Thank goodness!

I wonder if they could be packaged as toys rather than food.
I recall a similar issue with vinegar. US law prohibits solvents from being sold as food, or something, so no one is allowed to advertise vinegar as a cleanser, even though it is a very good one. But as soon as it's a cleanser, it can't be in food.
Well, that's fine with me. Having a toy inside is just robbing you of chocolate.
Kinder Ei! My whole family became addicted to them when we lived in Deutschland. We've had to go to the underground economy to acquire them at Christmas time ever since we returned.
Last year we bought out the entire remaining stock of a retailer near the Canadian border who hadn't realized they were technically illegal.
There's kinder chocolates at the grocery store I go to. Perhaps they're not popular but they're not banned.
So like i said, that's a whole lot of banned items in America
What's a Kinder egg
In truth, is Kinder and Ferrero (at least the originals producted from 1968). They are delicious chocolate eggs (like the Easter ones, but to eat all year) with a surprise inside. Sometimes there are entire collections. When I was a kid, I had the entire collection of sharks, lions, turtles, panda and some of the others. Every year there is a different collection.
It's a fascinating tale.
Kinder Surprise, also known as a Kinder Egg or Kinder Joy or, in the original Italian, Kinder Sorpresa, is a candy manufactured by Italian company Ferrero. Originally intended for children, it is also popular with adult collectors and has the form of a chocolate egg containing a small toy, often requiring assembly. "Kinder" is the German word for "children".
Controversy:
United States: The 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act contains a section highlighting that a confectionery product with a non-nutritive object, partially or totally embedded within it, cannot be sold within the United States, unless the FDA issues a regulation that the non-nutritive object has functional value.
Essentially, the 1938 Act bans “the sale of any candy that has embedded in it a toy or trinket”. In 2012, the FDA re-issued their import alert stating “The embedded non-nutritive objects in these confectionery products may pose a public health risk as the consumer may unknowingly choke on the object”.
UK: [where there had been unfortunate fatalities]. This was discussed in the UK House of Commons and also by the UK Department of Trade and Industry which said, "The child’s tragic death was caused by the ingestion of a small part of the egg’s contents. Many other products and toys with small parts are available in the market place. If we were to start banning every product that could be swallowed by a child, there would be very few toys left in the market”.
(we're a bit off topic maybe)
What's a Kinder egg
Doing a Q&A at University of Alberta today. I love talking with aspiring game developers 
Kinder egg is delicious and used to have interesting toys inside in the 90's and early 2000.

Sometimes when people ask me to write about a specific character, I smile and think of Cerebus.

Either he wears that exact same outfit often, or they recorded this a whole year ago.
that bit at the end LMAO!
Spoiler for speculation:
Looks like they're putting out left-over footage and stuff meant to be used in the marketing for before DAI's release. But it's cool anyway!
Better than nothing I suppose.
