00:00 If you live in Japan, your employer will make sure that your size remains within the standards.

00:05 In the United States, it will be forbidden to put a chicken on your head, even if you really want to.

00:10 Besides, you will only find Kinder Surprise eggs on the black market.

00:14 In Australia, it is forbidden to touch a light bulb in a public place.

00:18 Yes, you got it right. We are talking about the most bizarre laws and prohibitions in the world.

00:24 In Japan, your size must not exceed certain limits for the sake of sanctions.

00:29 This is not a joke. A special regulation, called the Metabo law, has been established to fight obesity.

00:38 Since 2008, all people aged 40 to 74 must have their size measured by their employer.

00:45 The main objective of this campaign is to reduce the number of overweight people from 10 to 25%.

00:51 If the circumference of a man exceeds 85 cm and that of a woman exceeds 90 cm, they will have to follow a fitness program,

01:00 these exercises being financed by their employer.

01:04 If a company fails several times to achieve specific objectives,

01:09 including the reduction of the number of overweight employees, it can be sanctioned by a fine.

01:14 Reports indicate that some large companies have received fines that can reach up to $ 19 million.

01:21 Panasonic, for example, distributes to its employees Metabo control towels, marked as "master bandages".

01:28 They allow employees to follow the evolution of their size and wipe their tears when they do not meet the requirements.

01:35 However, some companies are not very up to speed on this law.

01:39 After all, at the beginning, the authorities only aimed for a minimum participation of 65%.

01:45 It is important to note that the Metabo law does not aim to prohibit obesity by making it illegal.

01:51 In the United States, no one will comment on your size.

01:56 But if you take out a Kinder Surprise from your pocket, prepare to pay a hefty fine.

02:01 The fact is that confectionery products containing a non-nutritive object are prohibited by law in this country,

02:06 unless this object is functional, like a stick inside a lollipop.

02:11 A few decades ago, the Consumer Safety Commission examined and recalled some Kinder Surprise eggs illegally introduced in the United States.

02:20 The toys inside these eggs contained small pieces, which posed a risk of suffocation.

02:26 Commission members determined that this chocolate product was intended for children of all ages, including the youngest.

02:32 And as these sweets hindered regulation on small pieces, it was concluded that Kinder Surprise should be banned from import.

02:41 In January 2011, a person was threatened with a $200 fine for having passed a single Kinder Surprise egg across the American border with Minnesota.

02:51 In June 2012, two Seattle men were detained for two and a half hours after returning to the United States from a trip to Vancouver.

02:59 They had six Kinder Surprise eggs in their car, and were shocked to learn that the fine incurred was $2,500 per item.

03:07 Despite these severe restrictions, Kinder Surprise eggs remain popular on the black market.

03:14 You can easily buy Kinder Surprise in Sweden.

03:18 However, other products cannot be introduced in the country, such as sausages, butter, chocolate, and even potatoes grown outside the European Union.

03:28 Perimeter products are also prohibited.

03:31 Prohibition of products such as sausages and butter has been put in place to protect the Swedish domestic market and agriculture.

03:38 This measure is part of an extended interpretation of import restrictions, prohibiting all meat and dairy products from countries outside the EU.

03:47 As for the souvenirs you cannot bring back from Sweden, there is in particular Surströmming, especially if you travel by plane.

03:55 This sadly famous snack is made from fermented spiders.

04:00 Once caught, the fish are kept in several successive baths.

04:05 About two months later, the partially preserved spiders are placed in hermetic boxes, where they continue to ferment for about a year.

04:13 Three days after opening a Surströmming box, the smell of fermented spiders will persist in the air.

04:19 It will embalm your skin and hair, and nest in the fibers of the nape.

04:24 Imagine a box of this exquisite smell exploding in an airplane, affected by the pressure changes in the cabin.

04:31 You will beg for a parachute.

04:34 And if your wish was granted, you could land in Wisconsin, where it was once forbidden to wear a chicken on your head.

04:41 Yes, you heard right.

04:43 It is not certain that this law really existed, but it is certainly no longer in force today.

04:48 However, rumors persist, which claim that at one time, you could not enter Wisconsin by wearing a chicken on your head.

04:57 Indeed, the idea of wearing a bird on your head may seem completely absurd, but as ridiculous as this law may seem, it is not unique.

05:06 In a state near Minnesota, it is apparently illegal to walk with a duck on your head.

05:12 One might think that this would make the border between these two states a birdless area.

05:17 In any case, these laws are probably nothing more than urban legends.

05:21 And this is not the end of the story of the chicken.

05:24 In the city of Quitman, in Georgia, it is officially forbidden for chickens to cross the road.

05:29 The city's legislation stipulates that if you own domestic chickens, you must not let them wander in the city streets or on the property of others.

05:38 This law aims to encourage residents to keep their base in good order and to prevent chickens from walking everywhere on the public road.

05:47 If you live in Quitman and own a chicken that you let wander freely, prepare for a muscular interrogation as well as a heavy fine.

05:56 In Victoria, Australia, chickens are totally free to do what they want.

06:02 But for humans, it was another story.

06:05 There was a time when it was illegal to change a light bulb unless you were a good electrician.

06:10 Taking a light bulb in hand could cost you a fine of $10 Australian.

06:14 Fortunately, a revision of the 1988 Electric Safety Act brought a necessary update to this regulation.

06:22 According to the latter, it was still illegal to carry out electric work without a license.

06:27 However, you had the right to change a light bulb or to pull a plug yourself.

06:31 However, you were still not allowed to replace the bulbs in commercial and public establishments, especially in Western Australia.

06:39 In Victoria, it is forbidden to fly a flying deer to the detriment of others, just as it is forbidden to sing a song or a ballad obscene in a public place.

06:49 In Queensland, it is illegal to publish false job offers, while in New South Wales,

06:55 drivers who run over public transport passengers can be fined up to $2,200.

07:03 Canada is on the other side of the world, and it also has its strange laws.

07:07 One of them concerns currency.

07:09 In this country, little matters more than politeness.

07:13 When you shop there, it is impolite to bother the cashier by giving him too much money.

07:18 Indeed, there is a legal limit to the number of coins you can use for a single transaction in Canada.

07:24 The 1985 Act stipulates that you can not use more than 25 pennies, 100 5-cent coins, 100 10-cent coins, 40 25-cent coins, 25 1-dollar coins, or 20 2-dollar coins during a single transaction.

07:40 If you exceed these limits, the seller may refuse to accept them.

07:44 And you can not complain, it's the law.

07:47 It was established to prevent people from setting up expensive items with hundreds or even thousands of coins.

07:53 This forced cashiers to sort large quantities of coins.

07:57 Although such limitations may seem strange to those who do not live there,

08:01 they make perfect sense when we consider an incident that occurred in 2015 in the United States,

08:06 where a student was acquitted of a $110 fine on average of 11,000 cents.

08:11 He had to visit several banks to collect his coins, five giant boxes in all.
