Yes we actually still have them, but we have them in the most insulting way, basically one half of the shell is a candy part and the other is the toy and each half is separate by its own film covering.

In Europe (or Germany, at least) they are sold under the name "Kinder Joy", so we can choose between those and Kinder surprise.

I bet it was because one kid in the 80s or some shit was in some freak accident or something

Actually, that's not the case. Kinder Surprise is banned under a law from 1938, long before the product was even conceived.
