Strangest things banned by countries

There are many things banned by countries.Today I will showcase some of them
HERE WE GO:-

Blue jeans-North Korea 

Blue jeans fine.But blue being a colour that is associated with the United States, North Korea decided to ban blue jeans.

Jogging-Burundi

During the prolonged period of turmoil that ened in the last decade, it was common practice for the citizens to go jogging together in groups, partly to have one another as protection from the militia. But in March 2014, Pierre Nkurunziza-the president of the country, banned jogging based on the argument that people use the activity as a cover to plan subversive activities.

Chewing gum-Singapore

It’s not exactly on chewing gum that Singapore has put a ban on, but on the sale of gum-which is more or less the same. The exception is made for those with a medical prescription for gum(apparently, there are such people). The ban came into effect in 1992-the details around this is unclear but apparently in that year someone managed to bring the public transportation system to a halt by using a chewing gum.

Online video games after midnight

The “shutdown law” of 2011 disallowed kids under 16 to play video games from midnight till 6 A.M. The ban was imposed in order to help curb a gaming addiction. However, following a parental request, the ban might be lifted by the authorities.

Red Bull-FRANCE

Until 2008, Red Bull was banned in France due to concerns over the chemical tarine contained in the drink.

Kinder Surprise candy eggs-United States

Kinder Surprises are many a child’s delight and parent’s distress-as they have to practically earmark a percentage of their monthly salary to buy it. No worries of such kind for parents in the U.S.A as the confectionery is banned there, the reason being the product is seen as a choking hazard. People who bring it from other countries have even been detained in airports for ‘possession’ of the substance.
