Yeah, this is a great idea. Make a candy that looks exactly like a small toy part.

Why not just make some fruit flavored razor blades while they are at it. For the kids....

Don't be stupid, that's why they invented the bigger legos, you know for SMALL CHILDREN WHO CANNOT UNDERSTAND EVEN THE SIMPLEST DIRECTIONS BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO SMALL AND YOU ARE TOO DAMN LAZY TO BE WITH THEM WHEN THEY PLAY...

Sorry i had to yell, i have two very little brothers and having eaten this has not make them want to choke on "real" plastic legos. Carry on.

I just went to the local supermarket for some, and the damn things dont stick together like the real thing. The bottoms are sealed so they dont attach like real legos. They should sell them as model kits that you can put together and play with before consumption.

The big question is - do they hurt if you step on them?

(Legos are so ubiquous, there are only two states for people to be in - they haven't yet stepped on one accidentally, or they have.)

I've got the Lego Eggo waffles at home - they're good on those mornings that I have time to sit down and eat. Haha, they're great, and I'm 27!

next they need to make k'nex out of gummi stuff. They's be really handy when you're building something and it doesn't quite reach. Simple solution stretch a gummi in there!

Plus snackin' when you're done!

Tip to all the concerned parents - if your kid's too small to know the difference, get him Duplo blocks, cause he's gonna put the Legos in his mouth anyway! (Yes, I'm a parent, no my kids don't eat real worms 'cause I feed 'em gummi worms. They eat 'em 'cause that's what I serve 'em!!!)

oh, and before y'all get excited, I am aware it says chocked, not chalked, it's wordplay at it's worst.

I've been trying the Lego Eggo Waffles. They come out soggy on one side in my toaster oven. :(

Well, look at it this way. These will hurt a whole lot less when you step on them in the middle of the night.

Patricia says:

let's all just relax. Has the marketing of gummy worms and gummy rats inspired any little kids to bite into the real thing?

Yes, yes it has.
Look, most things can be chocked up to how involved parents are. Is this a bad idea, absolutely, so as a responsible parent DON'T BUY IT!
Side note: Kids can't choke on worms, and rats have to be chewed :)

HomerJay hit the nail on the head. Let's take the warning labels off of everything and let society sort itself out.

Also when I was a kid I used to chew on Lego tires all the time during intense all night build sessions.

I use to get the generic sweet-tart legos all the time...They stuck together great and rocked....

Gummy stuff is evil...get back to the real stuff. Artificially flavored sugar -- Sprees and Sweettarts rule!

I have some of these in my kitchen for my 5 year old son and he's yet to eat any of his actual Lego's. Bottom line, if you're kid's too young (or too dumb) to know the difference between an edible Lego and an actual one, be the parent- don't give them to him.

These also aren't designed to be dinner (although I've seen more than one parent send things like this to school for lunch). They're as nutritious as a lollypop. People who don't realize this are 'tards.

The protein's from gelatin, and the product page says not kosher certified. Translation: pig tendons =D I still think it's an incredibly funny idea though. Wonder if they're actually stackable.

They already have unofficial candy that looks like LEGO blocks, it's just not gummi. It's that pressed sugar crap.

Could we do more to inspire kids to swallow things they're not supposed to?

How about toy car keys and batteries?

Mark my words -- this baby's a contender for the 2007 worst toys list!

Cool imagine making a Deathstar out of Lego Fun snacks. Id like to know who thinks of these things up, why not Peanut Butter flavored Lego snacks.

Yeah, but will they stick together well enough to make a robot without leaving them in the sun for 4 days?
