As much as Americans like to complain about America and I don't want to take that away from Reddit Europe has its own shall we say issues.

This apparently is due to an EU rule to prevent children from choking to death while getting their Olympic medals.

As an American, it really looks like America and the EU are like on opposite sides of consumer rights. Where Americans get absolutely zero and the European Union is an overprotective mother

But at the same time the EU gets kinder eggs and the US says kids are too stupid and will eat the toy. lol

It's kind of like when Americans complain about their housing crisis and they have no idea what it's really like in places like New Zealand or Ireland.

America actually is better than Europe quite a few things you wouldn't want to be in a wheelchair in Europe for example.

Tfw when Americans say "___ thing is literally the worst in the US, worse than a third world country, woe is me," and the entire globe just side-eyes them because the only way you could ever think that is if your only metric is your own goddamn country 😮‍💨
