Egg lootboxes already exist, they're called kinder surprise

Poor old USA never got Kinder surprise, the FDA stopped them from ever being sold there since a plastic shell in chocolate are "non-nutritive items implanted in food" that makes them "not suitable for sale"

I wonder why they don't ban the king cakes in Louisiana. They all have a plastic baby in them and those things really can fuck up your teeth. They are also horrible but that's a side issue.

Oh wow I just looked those up. Other than the plastic baby that looks tasty, although I may be biased since I may love baked goods too much

King cake is legitimately the worst cake I've ever eaten. They're dry and flavorless and covered with multicolored sugar that always has an odd taste to it. Maybe a fresh one is OK but generally they're made in the months leading up to Mardi Gras and they always sit around for a while. And then you lose a fucking tooth -- and for bonus points, if you get the baby you have to buy the fucking cake next year.

Ah, then never mind. I'll stick to just a slice of Cinnamon Apple cake

FDA is run by big microplastic, not smol macroplastic.

I think what you're saying might be 100% correct. Just add a tablespoon of big oil and a cup of big pharma.

Plenty of calories in plastic

I'm vegan so I don't eat plastic
