Musings of a technophile

So I was going through my pantry today looking for a snack when I came across some new gummi snacks – Lego’s. Yep, they are just little gummi’s which look like Lego blocks in assorted colors.

You know for the child in me I thought it was a pretty neat idea, I mean who doesn’t know what Lego’s are? I know I was severely in love with my Lego’s as a little boy.

But then I got to think about it. Even with the Duplo toys, my boys put them in my mouth and I have to tell them to stop. Giving them real Lego’s would I’m sure lead to either many swallowed toys or often choking little boys. That being said – is it such a great idea to have gummi snacks that look exactly like their toy counterparts which you do not want them to eat?

I mean heck – let’s make some gummi crayons while we’re at it. My younger son loves to eat the real things, so I’m sure a crayon gummi is a great idea.

Anyways, I don’t really care one way or another – just thought that whoever came up with the idea of making a snack that looks exactly like a toy you don’t want kids to eat…well…let’s just say I don’t think they thought that one all the way through.
