    Hello, it’s us, the Germans…

    The words doppelganger and kindergarden are ours.

    Please give them back or there will be consequences… Copying our language… That’s disgusting… We would never do that.

      Yeah but we have to use the word dickety because the Kaiser stole our word for, “twenty.”

          They’re legal here, but only by having the toy removed.

          Candies like them were made illegal here in the states decades ago because there was concern (or it actually did happen) that a kid would attempt to eat the candy with the toy still inside and choke.

          It’s why the Wonder Balls stopped being sold here as well, and I loved those as a kid in the 90s. They were one of my favorite things to get when I went out shopping with my mom.
