Someone thought that this was a good idea. Hmmmmm. There's a thread over here where a lot of comments are falling into the "what's the big deal?" category.

I fall into the "this is a bad idea" category myself.

  • I'm gonna wait until they're certified kosher before weighing in on this one.
  • I'm on the "This is bad" bandwagon.
  • I'm on the fence about this. Sure it's a bad idea if there are two products. Legos and Lego Fruit snacks. But how awesome would it be if there were no Legos but only fruit snacks? You could have your Lego Death Star and eat it too! Besides, in the market place, if you are afraid of confusing your child...don't buy them.
  • At last, a square meal.
  • "That's not the jagged metal Krusty-O! That was a REAL Krusty-O!"
  • Oh, and they should have mutton-flavored ones, and call them "Lego Mutton."
  • And maleg flavoured ones, called "Lego Maleg".
  • At least they're not small erections.
  • Yeah, yeah, kids will die. Dumb kids. The important thing is that now I can have my knights charge THROUGH castle walls, poltergeist-style. All-round win, in my book.
  • Darwinism in action. I welcome this move. In time, my job will grow easier.
  • very tiny square Eggo Waffles.. Lego Eggos The catch phrase, of course would be "Letgo my Lego Eggo" /say that ten times fast and...bad idea, unless you run an Emergency Room, in which case this is going to be great for business...
  • You people are so shortsighted. It's folks like you that are destroying our economy and supporting the terrioristts! This great nation NEEDS more high fructose, dye saturated gummy food-like items!! Your child can now play with and eat Legos at the same time. Is it our fault your stupid kid chokes? For us, it's propaganda an advertisement in every bite. Support the poor struggling folks at Kelloggs that are simply trying to make an honest American dollar and make our country great. Tell those 'consumer advocates'--just another name for godless, anti-American, terrioristts--to get the hell out of the United States!

  • They're Spreading! The ones in the second link are even better. "You can EAT what you BUILD!" w00t! See M. Night's new thriller: The Legoing!
  • I'll wait until there's a package depiction and real product comparison photo...
  • What's the twist, Debaser?
  • I thought it said, "Lego-flavored fruit snacks." Imagine my disappointment.
  • I tried these. First of all- these are NOT fruit snacks. Having the word "fruit" in the name implies some degree of nutritional value. These are candy. Second, and this is the most important part- they DO NOT COME EVEN CLOSE to linking together like Legos. In fact, some of them don't even look remotely like Legos. Just gummy blobs with bumps on them.
  • Oh, I should add that the box I bought labeled them as "fruit snacks." I guess they changed that somewhere down the line.
  • Can I build a bridge? NO. Loud, censored expletives
  • The Legoing - In a quiet little country town, a small child builds detailed Lego lands. All is well, until one day he builds a Lego car crash that SPOOKILY exactly looks like the photo of an accident scene in the paper SEVEN DAYS LATER!! The child goes on, apparently able to foresee the future in Lego BUT THEN M Night comes along and plays a janitor who accidentally vacuums up a Lego town that the child has built. The town gets destroyed by tornados SEVEN DAYS LATER. So is the child forseeing the future or building the future? AND THEN the family dog eats a big chunk of Lego, thinking it was a sweet fruit snack.
  • AND THEN the family dog eats a big chunk of Lego, thinking it was a sweet fruit snack. And SEVEN DAYS LATER the Baha Men make a huge comeback with the "Stacky Clicky Brickhouse" remix of "Who Let the Dogs Out," which brings about the apocalypse by causing people to play this song repeatedly until they do, indeed, let their dogs out, creating ravenous packs of techno-bopping dogs who hypnotize people with their technogazes causing them to bump and grind and running man ferociously until the appendix bursts, which, until now was thought to be a useless organ, but, in tandem with appendix rupturing dancing to "Who let the dogs out" caused by techno-bopping dogs, actually creates patterns in corn fields and city parks which similarly look like crop circles, thereby signalling aliens (who happen to be allergic to blue) to invade the planet, until they realize that much of the planet is indeed blue (they are color-blind) and SWING AWAY! And then eveyone swing dances, but not swing low chariots, but one man DOES swing low chariots, as he is a disgruntled priest with glass bones, and while he is swinging low, he sees ghosts, who tell him to swing lower, so he does, and then Bruce Willis totally shows up and punches him in the face. He gets pissed and then runs to this old ass village, but there's a monster in some lake, and he totally Kung Fu chops the monster, but it's really some random dude in a costume, and then the Aliens die of blue-sickness, and then turn into blue corn chips, and world hunger is solved and people now pee gasoline and poop antibiotics. THE END.
