It is an old law from the 1930s that makes Kinder Surprise illegal in the USA. You can't put a toy or any none food stuff inside candy. The idea behind it makes sense but it's just poorly written and outdated. "Any food with a ‘non-nutritive object embedded’ is strictly illegal."

Omg I remember 1 vs 100 on Xbox 360! I remember enjoying the game show on tv and was so bummed the game never got a "second season" 😭

I actually checked after we recorded this and some sites claim that Kinder eggs are now legal in the US as of 2017 but I'm not sure what the truth is.

That's awesome! It was really unique and cool. I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers that.

Hey Liam, I was wondering if you have any reccomendations for games that are passive. I like to play something while listening to this podcast for example, but it can be hard to divide attention to both things when something story focused is going on or when there are action elements that require a higher level of attention. Animal crossing and Hyrule Warriors were my go to's, but kind of burnt out on those too for now.

Hey Liam, just finished listening to this on my commute today. Got a question maybe for a Q&A podcast some point in the future. Your guys’ conversation on Nintendo’s Disney-vault shit got me wondering about the rumors that persisted like 5 years ago with Mother 3. It felt like Nintendo was really building up to something over the course of a few years with the release of Earthbound on Wii U VC and then Earthbound Beginnings...but then it just fizzled out and led to nothing. Was wondering if you had any insight on this.

Also was wondering if Reggie’s leave could’ve had some effect on the corporate interest in releasing it, seeing as how he was kind of a central figure in the meme culture surrounding the game in the west.
