That would be good

but at least its not forbidden in the USA like the Surprise Egg
Anyone wanna guess number of accidental deaths avoided by that ban?
Or additional deaths if it had unforeseen consequences!

At least it's not forbidden in the USA yet.
I’d honestly be surprised if there were more kinder egg injuries than avocado pit related injuries, given how frequently people stab themselves in the hand trying to remove them. I get that those are mostly adults instead of kids and less likely to be deadly.

Reminder: put the avocado half DOWN on the table before whacking the pit with the knife. What's the matter, no cutting board? Afraid you'll accidentally whack the knife into the table? Let that sink in....

Sorry, but the sink stays outside until it learns better manners.

Wouldn’t that bruise/smash the back of it? Put on an oven mitt of your aim is that bad.

Less than tide pods?

Or just use a spoon

wrote last edited by [email protected]Either way, you're not supposed to smash the pit, just tap it with a sharp knife so that it gets deep enough into it so you can twist it out. It sounds like people are swinging their knives like swords to try to get their knives like halfway deep into the pit lol

The wooden balls actually have another prize inside.

It makes more avocadoes. Just add water!

wrote last edited by [email protected]My method is to get someone to throw the avocados at me, whilst I attempt to slice them Fruit Ninja style.
It's not the most effective method, however it kind of sometimes works. If Dave's throw is strong enough, it saves time spent mashing them for guacamole too.

My toddler absolutely loves it when the avacado ball pops out.

At least it's satisfying how perfectly they fit in there. Almost like they were made for each other.
Really makes you wonder how they managed to do that.

Not that I feel a need to defend the USA, but afaik the ban is a general ban on putting non-edible items in food, and not a ban on surprise eggs specifically.

But my hand heals. The table doesn't.

They need to start putting the tide pods in the surprise eggs.

Should avocado's be banned then?

For context, 12 children die each day from gun violence in the US alone.

wrote last edited by [email protected]It doesn't harm it at all. The knife sinking into the pit absorbs the shock, and besides you're about to eat it. Most injuries aren't caused by terrible aim, they're because the pit is slippery and curved, so just a little wrong angle can send the blade sliding off and into the hand. Especially when people whack too hard, and/or started the tequila or cannabis before the guac. That's why you make putting it down a habit, so your muscle memory will override your stupidity.
If you're not going to eat the whole avocado, put it in the fridge with the pit still in it (and the open part covered) to keep it green.
