SEATTLE, Washington (PNN) - July 16, 2012 - Two Seattle men were recently arrested crossing the Canadian border, but the men weren't carrying guns or drugs - they were packing illegal candy.
Brandon Loo and Christopher Sweeney were on a trip to Vancouver when they decided to bring home some treats for friends and family.
They bought Kinder Eggs. The chocolate eggs, which aren't available in Amerika, come with a toy inside.
Without thinking much of it, the duo picked up six of the eggs before heading home.
"We packed it in the back of the car because we weren't going to eat them," said Loo.
When they got to the border, the Amerikan Gestapo guards began searching their car and soon found the eggs.
"He said, 'Are you aware kinder eggs are illegal in the (Fascist Police States of Amerika) and carry a $2,500 fine per egg?' I actually laughed," said Sweeney.
As it turns out, Kinder Eggs are banned from the FPSA because they contain a "non-nutritive object embedded" inside them.
Loo and Sweeney spent two-and-a-half hours in a border detention center pleading their case to fascist pig thug officials.
"They wasted our time," said Sweeney. "They wasted the money spent on the agents to do this (while they let) other cars (go) through without checking them at all."
The men eventually got off with a warning. Last year alone, Customs and Border Protection seized 25,000 Kinder Eggs.
