Twice a day, this squirrel walks into the store, gets a "Kinder Surprise" chocolate-shelled egg, unwraps it, eats it, and leaves with the toy inside

Those eggs are a hot smuggler's item in the US; outlawed due to choking hazards, but people and even schools order them from smugglers :laffo:

Ha ha. To bad they don't have a video of the squirrel in action. It would be interesting to see what it does with the toys after taking them.

I don't know what their status is today, but I remember them switching to putting candies inside the wonderball instead of toys a little while after they were introduced when people complained about the choking hazard.

Wikipedia has the answer:
"Kinder Eggs containing toys are not suitable for children under the age of three due to the small parts which may be ingested or inhaled. They are sold all over the world excluding the United States, where the 1938 Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, prohibits embedding "non-nutritive items" in confections. Additionally, the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall on the eggs in 1997. Kinder Egg-like confections are available, but only in a form filled with small candies and/or stickers. There are some stores in the United States that sell genuine Kinder Eggs, often in conjunction with other imported British or other European sweets, although their importation is technically illegal due to the 1938 law and 1997 recall."
"Filled with small candies and/or stickers?" You would think that stickers would fall in the "non-nutritive item" category
