The correct response towards anyone meddling in what is none of their business.

Who remembers the blue oyster bar from police academy?

"Haha don't we all" lol

She should have asserted dominance by opening a jar herself in front of her mom

The problem is not the pink egg but the mom

Today on "Guess who voted Trump".

That's sickening. People like that don't deserve children

Some mothers should not be mothers.

These toxic a-hole parents are how misogyny, racism, homophobia, and bigotry continue to plague Humanity

I'm just tired of this, plain tired

What’s even sadder is that pink used to be considered a masculine color, up until the 1920s - 1930s. 100 years ago, Mom wouldn’t have cared if her son chose the pink egg. Kids are not concerned about such gender norms at his age. I say let him choose for himself. If he ends up disappointed by what’s inside the pink egg, he will most likely try different colors in the future, until he finds out which color egg will have stuff in it he likes. FFS, trial and error is how we all figure out what we like and don’t like, so cut your son some slack Mom!

This is quite possibly the saddest thing I have ever read.

Let me adopt that kid and hug him that's so sad

Yes, but pink is similar to the colour of the blood of your enemies! Pink is universal!

I didn't know there were pink eggs, but why can't they make blue ones as well? Or else stop with the pink.

Somebody should send this to the parent company of Kinder Eggs, as they've been doing this for at least 20 years.

at least there wasn't blue eggs-

Why color coat that COVERING YOU TOSS OUT!?!?! They both are the same n taste the same

I bought some for my son's Easter basket... I got one of each color for variety!

WOW

From a marketing standpoint the pink makes sense... a boy can buy a pink egg and know the item inside will be more feminine... maybe that is what he wants.

Its a color; nothing gendered about making different colored kinder eggs. The parent is the problem

I'm a face painter, and I've had parents flip out when boys want a butterfly. I make sure to say loud and clear that half (whatever the number is) the population of butterflies are MALES!

Woof that poor boy is going to need lots of therapy when he grows up, sadly he probably won't get it because he'll have his mom's voice in his mind telling him that boys don't cry/feel/GetTherapy

That is so sad

Poor kid! His Mom should be ashamed of herself. I would probably have tried to hand the white egg to her, of course if she was that stubborn she probably wouldn't have touched the white egg. Some parents are cruel!!!

the problem is the cancel culture who believe they must be right or hate will spew from their mouths like fire from a volcano or beat the person into a bloody mess

My elder son's favorite color when he was very young was pink. He said it was a "happy" color. If a shirt came in pink, he wanted it...AND GOT IT. He grew somewhat out of that when he was older, but he still buys pink shirts if the style he wants has it in his size. And at 6'10" tall, no one teases him about it.

Until around 1900 pink was the color for boys and light blue was for girls.

The Mom was right. She should have explained this to him in private instead of creating a public uproar though.

Also why not everyone should be allowed to have children. What toxic parenting Even if the mom held those beliefs about gender, she was making that more important than her son's tears and disappointment. A decent parent, even with those beliefs about gender, seeing her son's distress could have "allowed" the pink egg and explained that it was an exception to the rule of pink for girls. Children at those ages believe whatever the parent tells them. She could have said that was the only exception they were making. Still held her family system's toxic beliefs and showed loving compassion for her child. So easy.

We should stop selling them anyway. Loads of plastic that gets thrown straight in the bin.

I have ALWAYS hated hearing people tell boys that "Boys don't cry!" It breaks my heart because I know that it leads to hidden emotions and turmoil that has the potential to display in horrific ways in the future. Addiction, Depression, Anxiety, Self-Hate, Self Destruction.... Just to name a few.

You are watching Culture in Action. It's the 5 year old boys who have to told pink is girl only and whiter skin is better people so they can be terrible adults. We need to think generationally to overcome the racist core of America.

Gee. And to think, boys grow up to be men who cannot express any emotion except anger.

this is stupid and chocolate eggs shouldn't get gendered this is stupid yes i said it twice but it's just so stupid

F**k

What. A. Bitch.

This s**t is unbelievable!
