That sounds about right. 🤣
The first thing that comes to my mind is the Kinderegg.
I grew up with them being a thin chocolate egg enclosed over a plastic capsule that had a tiny toy inside, usually in a few peices that included instructions for how to assemble it. I then went to the States and discovered that they sell them with the toy separate from the chocolate, and that the enclosed kind is illegal! 😱
I grew up with them, I remember them from being very small, I was taught to not put the capsule in my mouth, though we all did to open them, at our own risk, whenever a parent wasn't looking. But we all survived. We were taught to be smart and figure out that the capsule was NOT for eating... but American kids don't get the luxury of learning that, so maybe that's part of why they also need a sign saying that the hot coffee... is "HOT"?!
Though all of the Americans I hang around are actually smart enough to figure out both of those things and don't need a sign for it... cause they're not stupid 🤣
