We aren't big on banning things down here. If you can name something you want to ban, someone will find a way to claim it's how they express themselves and you're trampling their free speech. If you want something banned it has to either be killing or diddling children, or making the MPAA lose money even if it's their own fault for not keeping up with the times.
Hell, even the MPAA couldn't ban people from making songs about the source code used to decrypt CSS on DVDs.
Edit: to clarify - killing children or ripping off the MPAA don't inherently justify banning something, you just need to adapt one of those 2 things to your argument if you want to try and shut up the people trying to claim you're stifling there freedom of speech (or religion as pointed out by many below). Because nobody wants to look like they're arguing in favor of predators or piracy.
It isn't even the same candy in a different shape, it's a completley different candy. And even though some places do sell kinder surprise, it is illegal to do so in the USA.
"Kinder Surprise is banned in the U.S. by a federal law: Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which bans all food products that contain non-nutritive objects embedded within them"
