The United States takes its ban on chocolate eggs with toys inside very seriously, a Canadian woman discovered when she was threatened at the border with a 300-dollar fine over a Kinder Surprise, media said Tuesday.

Public broadcaster CBC said Lind Bird was stopped at the US border last month and selected for a random search of her vehicle. Authorities found and seized a two-dollar Kinder Surprise as illegal contraband.

"It's just a chocolate egg," Bird told CBC. "And they were making a big deal. They said: 'If you were caught with this across the border you would get charged a 300-dollar fine.'"

While it may seem trivial to some, US authorities followed up with a seven-page letter asking Bird to formally authorize the destruction of her seized Kinder egg, she told CBC.

I for one find this paranoia eggsquisite.

Oh I love Kinder surprise...so yum.  The toys were laem--I always hoped to get the little Flintstones chewables-looking candy inside instead.

This is the same regulation that killed the Wonderball.

RIP Wonderball.

They should also ban M&Ms and Jawbreakers by that logic.

That woman's going to get in serious trouble for bringing classified military equipment down to the border.

No, it's Canadian contraband. I don't trust you fuckers...bringing that shit into our country. Today, chocolate eggs, tomorrow...Quebecois.

Heh, I used to collect those back in the day when it was easy to go back and forth across the Maine/New Brunswick border.  I actually glued the toys to the dash of my Ford Escort Wagon.  My mistake was keeping the little orange containers in the car.  Especially that day they stopped me, saw one of the little orange containers, and me an my long hair and scruffy beard, and decided it was time to go searching for drugs.  Searching every fucking inch of the car.

They sell those in import stores. It's not illegal to bring them into the country, that's ridiculous.

For some reason I cant stop laughing. They saw you with a chocolate egg and they assumed you were a druggie.

Oh, if only you all knew how many Kinder Eggs I have already smuggled into your country!  Mwa ha ha!   Just wait until Easter, then the  USA will finally be known by its rightful name: HOOPLAVANIA!

Prepare to kneel before Hoopla, son of Jor-el!

Well, they do random stops anyway.  It was only after they saw a couple of the empty cannisters, plus a few empty film cannisters, that they thought they needed to dig a little deeper.

The worst treatment I ever got was by a Canadian border checkpoint dude.  It was because my husband's passport had his Afghan and Pakistan stamps in it when we were stopped (and we were in a rented car going through BC back down to WA).  Luckily he saw the kids were dead asleep in the back or he probably would've had us pull over for a nice thorough trunk check.  Good thing, too, because as soon as he gave my husband the stink eye over his visits overseas, I took over answering the questions and totally lied about the fact we had icewine in the trunk.  Whoopsie.

Wait, so you were at the bordering entering the USA, or entering Canada?
