Everyone knows you shouldn’t play with your food!
I agree it’s a bad idea.
Nearly happened with my son, with a 4×4 – like on the box, because his older sister was playing with the blocks.
Had to put the blocks away for a year.
You learn real quick as a parent to only get toys safe for the youngest member of the family, and this penalizes the older siblings.
Egad! What were they thinking?
God allmighty where is the common sense? Are they ASKING for a lawsuit?
How many children do you suppose picked up the wrong message when they learned how good Tootsie Rolls tasted? Hmmm….. bathroom supervision for the toddlers is probably a good idea even after they’re potty-trained 😉
Has anyone ever actually seen these for sale? I’m thinking it’s a joke for Kellogg to get some hip buzz.
Natural selection at its finest…
Companies just don’t think sometimes – have you seen the Fabulso cleaner in WalMart ?- It looks exactly like a juice bottle, and of course kids are drinking it.:
I tried to link above, but it didn’t work: http://www.mexgrocer.com/7216.html
Oh, calm down. If you could really eat a Lego, they would have been out of business long ago. There might be a question about the worth of the tie-in though. I mean how good could a Lego really taste. Next up, Tidy Bowl Fun Snacks – They’re Juicylicious.
They already had lego candies, i dont see what the big deal is. this is nothing new.
You guys have it all backwards. These are the soft Legos that can be stepped on in the middle of the night, and no swearing!
And, the dog cleans them up every night.
#13 – Everybody else was getting me all upset. Good Lord! How many poor children must die before this dangerous product is banned?! But you’re very good at seeing the bright side of things. I appreciate it, I really do, and so will my dogs. Thanks. 🙂
New!! Condom-Chewies! In a little foil pack! Just like Dad’s!
OK, “marketing people”, loosen those neckties. They’re cutting off the blood supply to your brains.
What’s next? Jagged Metal Krusty-Os?
You guys have it all backwards. These are the soft Legos that can be stepped on in the middle of the night, and no swearing!
Now that’s funny. I don’t care what anybody says.
More importantly, can these things be used AS Legos themselves? Will they connect to each other?
I think it would open up new building possibilities. Imagine what this guy could do with them:

Yeah how can they be so stupid? Not making a kosher snack. Peff!

#4,,,,common sense !!!…you jest.
18. From what I’ve read the bottoms are flat, thus they cannot be stacked.
Guess legal blocked the Peppermint Fishing Hooks, Chocolate Coated Drain Opener Tabs and the Barney and Friends Home Tattoo Kit for Toddlers. Not sure who is dumb and who is dumber here, Lego for licensing this or “Kel-lodged in little Rickie’s windpipe” for facilitating this.
Jeesh and you wonder how kids survived 100 years ago, all you people baby your kids too much and then wonder why by the time they are teenagers they don’t have a lick of common sense, well maybe it is because you baby them too much and want to keep them in the toddler stage until they graduate from high school, and you wonder why they rebel in their teenage years? Well guess what, that is why.
People do a lousy job raising their kids and they bitch about companies making stuff that kids can choke on, well if people raised their kids a little better and started discipline earlier you wouldn’t have to worry about 3year old johnny chockin on a tinker toy.
Maybe a house with more dangers is a good thing; it weeds out the dim bulbs before they make it very far. Now we coddle our dim bulbs, they survive until adulthood, and we wonder why we have so many of them.
Well duh!
#22 – When did they recall the Barney and Friends Home Tattoo Kit for Toddlers? I got one for my grandson just last Christmas to go with the Little Johnny’s First Insurance Fraud and Arson Kit, and nobody warned me they might be dangerous. What an outrage!
#23 – Always good to hear from someone without kids 🙂
#4 – they’re not asking people to eat legos, they’re inviting them to eat fruit flavored snacks. People that eat legos probably dont survive to add their “stupid genes” to the population (advances in medical technology not withstanding).
Honey? Is Junior choking?
No dear, he’s just throwing a tantrum.
Okay, everyone who remembers Dan Ackroyd’s sleazy character that had various dangerous toys and snacks raise your hand.
J/P=?
#28 John, I would never admit to remembering the “Johnny Switchblade” or “Bag O’ Broken Glass” toys sold by that shameless huckster Akroyd was long before my time, and these are little flecks of gray paint in my hair. Honest.
And as for that Bass-O-Matic in my kitchen, I bought it at a garage sale, not new 😉
The worst I’ve ever seen was chocolate shotgun cartridges! No lie!
wow this is better than the “candy cigarettes” from when I was a kid.
I think that if it’s sweet, kids will want it, and eat it…no matter what shape it come in. This is just some dweeb marketing design, done by people who do not have kids!
