US custom agent detains woman for trying to carry a Kinder Egg into the US. Kinder Eggs (chocolate egg with a small cheap toy inside) are illegal in US because of choking hazard. She faced a $300 fine over a $2 candy.

The U.S. takes catching illegal Kinder candy seriously, judging by the number of them they've confiscated in the last year. Officials said they've seized more than 25,000 of the treats in 2,000 separate seizures.

As trivial as the border seizure may seem, Bird said the U.S. government has sent her a seven-page letter asking her to formally authorize the destruction of her seized Kinder egg

The letter states if Bird wishes to contest the seizure, she'll have to pay $250 for it to be stored as the two sides wrangle over it.
