It’s not really probable that a kid would bite in and swallow the toy and its enclosure, but I guess it is possible and the gubmint has to save those poor souls from their own selves.

Haven’t seen them the last few times I was there however. The store does stock a lot of that manufacturer’s products.

And taking them apart and putting them back together and so on, which is exactly what I wanted out of a toy (so many of my action figures ended up with swapped limbs/heads for that reason…). It was about the perfect little package of fun, for me.

As the comedian Bill Bailey says, you know it’s a crap toy covered in crap chocolate, and they are, indeed, Eggs of Numbing Inevitability.

Always wondered why it stopped, but never asked. Maybe she heard about the ban?

I’ve got a drawer full of dozens of the toys. They were awesome!
