This isn't a new issue. Buckyballs have been on our radar for years. I bought some in 2015 and when I got mine there were warnings about not eating them as they can magnet inside the body and pinch intestines and whatnot.
Buckyballs are amazing. You can make some really neat shapes and the taste is delicious.
It doesn't taste like pinching to me!
Yep, I got some then and I thought they had shutdown due to this, but then I noticed here a couple years ago that they made a comeback, and I got some more...
Even though they were banned for a while, you could always get them from China on places like AliExpress and wish.
Oh sure, but Buckyballs themselves have since comeback so perhaps the ban was lifted or for a limited time.
