ORIGINAL: Marc2b There are some loopholes in the federal ban, depending on the size of the toy. America! Land of the free, home of the brave. But not if you want Kinder Eggs. Oh no, not for you, Americans. They might be dangerous! Just another sign we're turning into a Nanny State. On a side note, I used to send my sister in Utah a box full of sponge candy, which if you're a connoisseur, you know it can only be properly created in the Western New York area, due to its elevation above sea level, relative humidity, and the pact we made with the Devil. Which also presumably included a clause guaranteeing the Bills would never make it to the playoffs ever again, but I digress... Every year since she moved out west, we sent her a box with no problems. After 9/11, the USPS freaked out and for two years refused to allow us to ship any to her. It wasn't until the '03 Christmas season I could send it out, and only then by packing it up inside the local post office after showing it to the desk clerk what it was. Apparently, under X-ray, sponge candy "looks" like "something else" was all the woman told me. Ever since then, it's the only way I can send her and my nephew sponge candy. Otherwise, the box is returned to me "Opened and Examined and deemed unsafe for delivery" And for this, I blame both the terrorists and the Bush and Obama administration for continuing this confectionery outrage. When will the madness end??? >end of rant and I descend from my soapbox<
