Ohhh great insight of theirs, very interesting!
Just thinking about it for a second I wonder if those same parents would’ve handed those same kids the same size toy. Maybe those kids did have equivalent size toys in the house in which case I would wonder if there was some kind of contextual “I eat chocolate, this toy was in chocolate” kind of issue.
Pure speculation so if neither of those points mattered then maybe I would unban as well.
typo edit: “hate” to “eat”
To be fair, there is another aspect to this. The children involved were mainly 3, and the eggs do say for ages 3+.
Most people don't buy teeny tiny toys for their three year olds.
It's a tricky one. I think the problem could largely be addressed by slightly raising the age to 4+, the same as Lego.
