Kellogg's Fruit-Flavored Lego Snacks: Awesome or Messed-Up Choking Hazard?

20080619-lego-snacks.jpgLittle kids like Legos, and putting things in their mouths. How convenient that Kellogg's Lego fruit snacks exist to confuse toddlers that bite-sized toys sometimes come in squishy, gummy bear-like textures that really can be digested. Is this the start of edible jacks and chess pieces? And a mommy uproar? [Via Penny Arcade]

After the jump, a cartoon where perplexed normal Legos attempt to make sense of these gelatinous cousins.

As a mom with a Lego-obsessed child, I will NOT be buying these. Thanks for the heads-up Erin!

I think it's the start of a string of lawsuits. Leggo my Lego, come on now, cough it up.

What next? Gummi razor blades?

Aren't there already candy building blocks like these made out of the same stuff as Smartees candies?

I'm not sure what's sadder: the fact that there's a genuine chance of this leading children to possibly choking on Legos or the fact that I will eat these.

It's stupid, and it's irresponsible.

There is a thing called COMMON SENSE that seems to be lacking at Kellog's product development and marketing departments.

Asinine.

Although, Mike & Ike candy kind of looks like pills and it's been around for a long time. This might be worse.

I dunno...I eat gummi worms but that has yet to convince me to eat worms yet.

nifty. I bet my daughter will like these. I had to give her all of my old lego. Not entirely sure what the issue is. They don't really look like lego, what with being gummy and see-through. Whereas lego bricks, at leas tthe ones I have are hard and not see-through. Kids these days don't know the difference? Maybe I'm bringing mine up wrong.
