Kinder is an amusing example, since they decided to offer a compliant variant of their product in the US.

They did that in a rather smart way, too, by diverging it enough from the original that they could sell it elsewhere as a new thing.

I mean, it never really took off here, very few people prefer it over the original, but better than not being able to sell it outside of the US at all.

Yes. Rather a step back from the original offering isn't it? If I'm being honest, I couldn't give a damn about the kinder eggs prohibition, as I am not a child, and I do not have children. The Bovril issue is by far my biggest personal concern, although I'd really like to be able to buy raw milk cheese.

There are states in the US where you can buy raw milk cheese legally. You just can't do it through interstate commerce, but for example it can be done in person at farmer's markets with cash. New York is one such state, I dunno about the other major tech hub states.
