Serbian rum so strong it is banned.

They're banned in Serbia, Jeff, Welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 funniest banned products when it comes to these controversial sprinkles.

It's important to point out that there weren't hundreds and thousands of complaints.

There was only one for this list.

It will be looking at mundane objects that have faced bands of various kinds around the world will be excluding people and fashion trends which deserve a list of their own ever been surprised by a weird ban.

What was it let us know in the comments Number 10 contested maps Morocco.

If you're visiting Morocco, you may want to carefully consider what maps and guidebooks you show around.

An area known as the Western Sahara has been under dispute between Morocco and an Algerian independence movement known as the polisario front because Morocco considers the territory part of its country.

Local maps that don't separate the Western Sahara from Morocco itself.

Yet many other international maps depict a dotted line and reportedly these are sometimes confiscated google maps even had this line removed for Moroccan users after three years of lobbying maps purchased within the country will also lack this dotted line.

I wonder where this river goes.

Number nine.

Winnie the pooh Poland.

He's been banned in china because some folks think he looked a lot like chinese president xi Jinping.

Nobody just a bear.

I was wondering since you're new, if you might have some honey, but china isn't the only country that's taken a stance against poor pooh the small polish town of to shin lashed out at the famous bear for dubious sexuality and being half naked.

One official says that the bear is a hermaphrodite and his inappropriate for Children.

If you can believe that referring to him as a hermaphrodite, local politicians felt the bears lack of pants to be highly offensive.

Press pause on that.

Maybe get some pants fine.

Put on some pants.

Thanks.

The popular Children's character was being considered as a mascot for a Children's playground.

When local councilors got involved upon hearing the news and piglets asked Christopher Robin for help, but to no avail.

Doing nothing often leads to the very best to something.

Number eight scrabble Romania.

During his time in office, President Nicolae Ceausescu ruled Romania with an iron fist.

His totalitarian regime was marked by economic mismanagement, mass surveillance and human rights abuses.

One of the many things he cracked down on was scrabble, scrabble.

It's a bad joke, right?

Yeah.

It is a joke.

In the 1980s, he argued that the game was overly intellectual and a subversive evil.

Anyone for scrabble, only God can make words, debates around whether a word is legitimate or not are common when playing the game, but to make it illegal.

Well, that's something else, fortunately Ceausescu was overthrown in the Romanian revolution of 1989 today.

You can argue over scrabble in Romania without worrying that the government will penalize you.

She stormed out, which was sad because we were playing scrabble and I had all the letters to spell persimmon.

Number seven lace underwear, Russia belarus and Kazakhstan, here's one where people really got their knickers in a knot in the early 2000 and ten's Russia belarus and Kazakhstan imposed a new law that made it illegal to sell import or purchase underwear with less than 6% cotton, acceptable fabrics, cotton or cotton blend wool is for outerwear only and silk is for sex workers or musicians.

Since many luxury lingerie garments are made with less than 4% cotton, it's effectively banned them from consumer use.

The ban was put in place in an attempt to protect women from synthetic garments that could cause skin irritation and other problems.

And I forgot my underwear.

Those were yours kidding.

I don't wear underwear.

Ladies underwear.

It was met with outrage by many women who protested the change in regulations.

Number six goldfish bowls.

Rome Italy for many kids.

A goldfish was their very first pet.

Look at the darling little one.

This darling little one is my goldfish.

A small oval bowl with a bright orange fish in.

It could be seen on the dresses of countless Children unless of course you grew up in Rome in the two thousands in 2000 and five it was deemed that while owning a pet fish is fine.

Keeping it in a fish bowl is cruel claus what's wrong.

Fish bowls were therefore made illegal.

Reportedly this was because of the belief that round fish bowls make fish go blind.

Hopefully the band didn't result in people getting rid of their pets, but in owners upgrading their domiciles.

Number five Blue Jeans.

North Korea, sometimes known as the hermit kingdom.

North Korea has isolated itself from the rest of the world and fiercely resists Western influence.

This is America.

You want to live in north Korea.

You can live in north Korea.

I don't want to, I want to live in America.

The totalitarian state isn't afraid to impose draconian restrictions to uphold the status quo.

One interesting example is a ban on people wearing blue jeans.

I want blue jeans, you're getting slacks.

It's not even jeans per se that are illegal, but just specifically blue ones.

Black dinner might be fine, but blue crosses the line.

Blue jeans are seen as a major symbol of american culture and therefore aren't permitted within the borders of north Korea.

Leave my licenses somewhere in these pairs of easy fit blue jeans.

That's not the way american police do things number four public transport Singapore.

Ask anyone in the culinary arts what the smelliest fruit is and they'll definitely tell you it's durian, the smell of glory, sounds like feet and feet native to many parts of Southeast Asia.

The hard shell exterior is covered in thorns, giving it a similar appearance to that of an oversized, although quite popular in the area.

The pungent stench of the fruit has seen it banned on public transportation in Singapore.

Somebody's baking brownies, although it's popular in the country and can still be purchased in local markets.

Eating it on the subway is a definite no, no.

Some hotels have also banned it as its lingering smell often compared to raw sewage can last for days.

Wait a minute.

Number three flip flops.

Capri Italy go for a walk on a beach in the summer months and you're bound to hear that signature sound coming from feet of many beachgoers them down.

I can't run.

I'm wearing flip flops flip flops of course get their name from the sound made when they tap against the back of your foot.

All too common in most places.

The sound became such an annoyance to residents of Capri Italy that they banned them along with any noisy footwear entirely.

I am afraid I cannot take them off.

It's a curious restriction, but not without merit for those used to the peace and quiet of their town.

An influx of any unwanted sound could certainly be disruptive.

Number two red sprinkles, United Kingdom and EU have you ever heard of Gareth racine?

It's a red food coloring chemical used in the sugar sprinkles often associated with ice cream.

It's also the reason why those very same editions are illegal in the United Kingdom.

The american ingredients don't meet UK rules on food.

The guys here didn't know, but someone did and tipped off trading standards known as E 1 to 7.

The additive is quite commonly used in north America but is highly restricted in the UK and EU forcing local bake shops to use alternatives.

Rich now uses icing sugar instead, shunning british sprinkles because they're too pale and run.

They claim the chemical has been linked to hyperactivity in Children, which is why it's typically only allowed in cocktail and candied cherries.

Sorry, ice cream lovers.

You'll have to stick to a cherry on top with no sprinkles, at least no red ones.

Sprinkles never heard of soul.

God!

Number one chewing gum, Singapore on second thought gum would be perfection Gum would be perfection, Yep.

It is illegal to sell chewing gum in Singapore, implemented in 1992.

There were several reasons why this ban went into effect.

I think that's just how do I know this isn't a treasure map?

Just waiting to be unfurled because it's gum.

That's gum, A big part of it had to do with the 1987 launch of their mass rapid transit system.

People had reportedly been placing chewing gum on the train door sensors, preventing them from closing correctly.

It had also become a littering nuisance for many residents, Vandals would often stick the gum on mailboxes, public seats, keyholes, elevator buttons and countless other places, creating an unsanitary disaster interestingly enough, however, is the fact that the use of chewing gum is not illegal.

Just its sale and importation.

What are you doing?

Oh, I was just looking for some gum or mint.

Oh, I have junior mints.

No.
