        He gave the fucker 3 kinder eggs! I’d personally be offended if the pope himself, as an easter present , gave me a fucking kinder egg! I mean, you find those in any supermarket for around 6-7€ each. And that’s the present you give to the VP of “the most important country in the world”? That’s not a diss, that’s THE diss.

          The AP reported:

          The 88-year-old pope offered the Catholic vice president three big chocolate Easter eggs for Vance’s three young children, who did not attend, as well as a Vatican tie and rosaries.

            I saw the images. Kinder eggs. They are by no means unique or even good. They are just cheap chocolate with cheap licensed figures. I mean, there are way better eggs if you want to make a meaningful present. He just went with what the fucker deserved. A cheap option for a cheap asshole.

              They are just cheap chocolate with cheap licensed figures.

              Kinder Surprise eggs are illegal in the US, as federal regulations deem them a choking hazard.

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder_Surprise

              A 1938 law, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, prohibits confectionery products that contain a “non-nutritive object”, unless the non-nutritive object has functional value.[34] Essentially, the Act bans “the sale of any candy that has embedded in it a toy or trinket”.[35]

              If Pope Francis actually gave Vance’s children Kinder Surprise eggs — as opposed to some other type of chocolate egg — we can reasonably assume that the pope was trying to murder Vance’s kids, and that Vance probably felt that he had to strike before the pope made any subsequent attempts.

              I didn’t mean to dispute that. I just checked what you stated and posted what I found for anyone else who, like me, wasn’t up to date on this meeting. I share your assessment.
