Nobody explained or marketed them properly over there
So these mysterious, German looking chocolate eggs came over and appeared in shops, and American kids considered them 'bitsize and tried to eat them without realising there was a capsule with toy parts inside. This happened a surprising number of times, people threatened to sue, they gave up, the end of kinder eggs in the US - due to stupid lack of marketing and stupid greedy chocolate-scoffing kids
