[–]mrmaveric 194 points195 points ago

Doesn't this just teach kids that lego bricks are something you can eat?

[–]J4k0b42 111 points112 points ago

That's why these are no longer sold, they were sued.

[–]hungry-ghost 57 points58 points ago

and it didn't occur to them at any time in the development process...

[–]y-u-no-take-pw 18 points19 points ago

'Muricah: Where you feed your kid treats that look like toys, then sue someone because your kid ate a toy.

New from Kellog: Perco-pebbles and Elmer's glue pops!

[–]Xenocide1993 26 points27 points ago

they're no longer sold?! I fucking loved these things. I mean, sure there is very little diversity between pieces but they actually worked as legos...sigh

[–]aharpole 10 points11 points ago

Wait, they did work as legos? The ones I got didn't have holes in the bottom to snap things to, so they didn't work out that great. Plus they weren't really that square.

[–]shane_lxi 6 points7 points ago

You can still get them, but they aren't made by Kellogg. We have a bulk candy store in our mall and they sell them there. They do in fact stack like legos, but I don't think they work with real Legos, only each other.

[–]fardoraghahearn 2 points3 points ago

In Canada you can get them at Bulk Barn.

[–]The_Turbinator 1 point2 points ago

Oh my God, this is why I love Canada!

I am going to my local one as soon as I wake up.

[–]TidderTNE 0 points1 point ago

Do you guys have everything up there?

[–]KazakTheSpaceDog 5 points6 points ago

It's America's attic, where all our old toys and snacks go to rest.

[–]floatmyboat87 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, they aren't sold anymore, but they sell the really crappy kind, like almost a knockoff. It's like an actual brick: really compact and hard. Did not mean for that to sound wrong.

[–]Sephiroth5049 2 points3 points ago

I had them as a kid too. And I'd always build this monstrosity that was sure to snap my jaw in half as well as obliterate my teeth because they were as hard as real Legos. But they were awesome.

[–]mash3735 1 point2 points ago

maybe they were real legos you tried eating

[–]Sephiroth5049 0 points1 point ago

Nyoh my Gawd!

[–]Phoequinox 0 points1 point ago

I never considered their functionality. It no longer seems like an asshole concept but just a poorly-considered one.

[–]JeepersMister 0 points1 point ago

If you miss them enough, you could always try this.

[–]bloopeeriod 1 point2 points ago

Litigants: Hansel and Gretal

[–]Bronchito 2 points3 points ago

Choking hazard?

[–]I_Wont_Draw_That 0 points1 point ago

Definitely just bought some of these for my cousin at a candy store a few weeks ago. Maybe not the official brand (not sure since it was just in a bulk bin), but some similar candy certainly still exists.

[–]jg521336 0 points1 point ago

Yes you can find them at downtown Disney

[–]FuckingTornadoes 0 points1 point ago

Ha ha ha, srsly?

[–]14platinum 0 points1 point ago

That is NASTY!! Kids will still try to eat rubber.

[–]Tasgall 0 points1 point ago

... This is a terrible idea...

[–]vitiminV 17 points18 points ago

Then they will, quite literally,"shit bricks"

[–]scottoh 11 points12 points ago

OOHHH! I get it now!

[–]Langly- 3 points4 points ago

If you thought stepping on lego bricks was bad, just wait until you try these.

[–]Xenxe 0 points1 point ago

I used to get candied lego bricks all the time and I swear it must have been when I was 5. I never ate a lego brick in my entire life.

[–]RogerElmore -1 points0 points ago

Brought to you by the makers of Transformers anti-freeze.

[–]nepidae -2 points-1 points ago

You only eat one.

[–]Chiddaling -3 points-2 points ago

YOEO

[–]unussapiens 46 points47 points ago

Relevant photo of chips I got in legoland.

[–]urspx 30 points31 points ago

Those are "fries," mate.

[–]unussapiens 9 points10 points ago

Not if you're a Brit, Aussie or Kiwi (and probably others, but those are just the ones I'm aware of).

[–]Black_Apalachi 1 point2 points ago

Yeah but apparently America cancels out everywhere else.

I'm going to go downstairs and watch that sport with the ball and the kicking. If I say its name, the Americans will cry.

[–]ChestrfieldBrokheimr 18 points19 points ago

hah, this reminded me of a very awkward stare down i had when i was 6~7 with the guy behind the food stand at an ice rink.. "can i get some chips" "what kind?"..... "regular?"..... i was so confused when he gave me a bag of regular lays... i had no idea how to explain i wanted "french fries".... i had a british nanny as a kid so i have all these really kool sayings... like "swimming trunks"

[–]Rephlex 14 points15 points ago

Who on the planet doesn't say "swimming trunks?" I live in the american south.

[–]ZedFish 5 points6 points ago

"Boardies" for knee-length swimming shorts or "budgie smugglers" as a joking name for Speedos down in Australia, with "swimmers" referring to swimwear in general.

The idea of calling anything "swimming trunks" or "bathing suits" is completely foreign down here.

[–]only_temporary 3 points4 points ago

They're togs mate.

[–]ZedFish 0 points1 point ago

Ha, I haven't heard anyone call them togs in years; but yeah, you're right. I completely forgot.

[–]redshoes 0 points1 point ago

They are togs in New Zealand.

[–]I_Am_Australia 1 point2 points ago

As Australia, I can confirm.

[–]Malgas 5 points6 points ago

I'm more familiar with the somewhat abbreviated "swim-trunks". I'm from the pacific northwest, but I have grandparents from the south.

[–]MrCaes 0 points1 point ago

I've always called it a swimsuit.

[–]seamouse 5 points6 points ago

Well, you spelled cool with a "k," so...don't do that.

But all I really wanted to say was that I think a lot of people say swimming trunks. They may say swimsuit as well, or just trunks, or other such variations, but I don't think it's uncommon as a phrase for people without British nannies.

[–]ChestrfieldBrokheimr 0 points1 point ago

lol. Well, I wasn't insinuating that this phrase is only common to people with British nannies, but I am pretty sure it originated from Britain/UK. I for one have never heard anyone say it, and when I was younger, it garnered some off looks. As for the "kool". I caught it after I posted, hovered over the edit link; then said "screw it".

[–]Happy_Cats 1 point2 points ago

I grew up without anybody in my life being British, and I say swimming trunks.

[–]y-u-no-take-pw 0 points1 point ago

Some of us simply have no such vocabulary. IF you can get me into a pool or other body of water aside from my bathtub, I sure as hell am not going in there clothed.

[–]McNoobLeet 3 points4 points ago

...It's really confusing that you said "mate" after that. I didn't know what accent to use in my head.

[–]TheLonelyStranger 7 points8 points ago

No shut up Britland is better than Murricah

[–]DamnSpamFilter 2 points3 points ago

no they're chips

[–]Black_Apalachi 0 points1 point ago

Why would a name have a comma?

[–]urspx -1 points0 points ago

American English comma rules, mate.

[–]silent_p 27 points28 points ago

I cannot find the disguised black person in this picture.

[–]kitchen_break93 6 points7 points ago

Where can I get these? Canadian here.

[–]mrdelayer 6 points7 points ago

Apparently discontinued, because people were afraid kids would start eating the plastic Lego. :[

On the bright side, in candy shops across the US, at least, you can find candy bricks like these: http://www.amazon.com/Concord-Confections-DK-Candy-Blocks/dp/B0000DJT3C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1339984914&sr=8-2&keywords=candy+bricks

[–]Legolihkan 0 points1 point ago

Discontinued?? NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo! I loved those gummies...

[–]mrdelayer 1 point2 points ago

On the bright side, the ones I linked actually stack with each other fairly well, though not with official Lego elements, of course.

[–]Legolihkan 0 points1 point ago

yea, i've had them..

[–]Kalivha 0 points1 point ago

I used to buy those in NYC. I haven't been to NYC since 1998. :(

[–]mash3735 1 point2 points ago

you dont want to go. there have been a series of grizzly murders occuring on the outskirts of NYC. Locals have been disappearing...

[–]Kalivha 1 point2 points ago

Over the course of yesterday, at least 11 people were shot dead in the city I live in right now... I don't even try to keep up anymore.

[–]mash3735 0 points1 point ago

im guessing you didnt get the reference.

[–]Always_On_Reddit 1 point2 points ago

Actually you can find them in bulk barns in Canada, I saw them there a couple weeks ago!

[–]kitchen_break93 0 points1 point ago

No way!! That's fricken awesome. I should stop by there after work sometime :) Tehehehe yay!!

[–]MexiCanada 1 point2 points ago

They sell them at bulk candy stores, such as Bulk Barn :)

[–]crusoe 2 points3 points ago

"lets make it so toddlers can mistake hard plastic bricks for candy!"

[–]Animal89 1 point2 points ago

next up, candy medicine

[–]Black_Apalachi 0 points1 point ago

How long have those white candy sticks been around?

[–]HoldMaahDick 2 points3 points ago

I wonder how many people are still looking for a hidden black man or penis.

[–]smallz503 1 point2 points ago

These wont hurt NEARLY as much when stepped on!!

[–]wangjuice69 1 point2 points ago

Is it sad I was looking for the black man, male genitailia, etc first before I got the joke?

[–]Proxx99 1 point2 points ago

Spent wayy to long looking for black man/penis

[–]Soahc17 1 point2 points ago

This is definantly going to get confused with the toys you are taught NOT to eat.

[–]KJAZZ 1 point2 points ago

These were delicious. Any gummies by Kelloggs (formerly Farley's before they were absorbed) are some of the finest I've had in my decades on this planet.

[–]Varasque 1 point2 points ago

The only time the phrase 'you will shit bricks' has ever been appropriate.

[–]Jsizzles93 0 points1 point ago

you did a good job and i like your shoes

[–]Kon_Ken000 0 points1 point ago

I don't get it.

[–]Jsizzles93 1 point2 points ago

there is a toyota commercial with some college football coach that was on when i was looking at the post. and the end of the commercial he is giving someone a compliment, and he says "you did a god job and a like your shoes." its really random, but i just wanted to say it

[–]Victorian211 0 points1 point ago

Why is this not in my mouth right now?

[–]Victorian211 1 point2 points ago

edit: Why is this not in my hands right now?

[–]OmegaX123 1 point2 points ago

That's not an edit.

EDIT: This is an edit.

EDIT2: Damn. I didn't wait long enough for the little * to appear by the 'when this was posted' line...

[–]Victorian211 0 points1 point ago

ha ha, touche

[–]AeroBlitz 0 points1 point ago

OMG. I used to buy these everytime I went to the grocery store. They were so much fun. I'm kinda sad they were discontinued. :/

[–]FThisNoise 0 points1 point ago

I see a lot of lawsuits in the future.

[–]danvis3 0 points1 point ago

I won't shit bricks, can't be that cool. click.

dammit...

[–]spach15 0 points1 point ago

Yea fruit snacks don't digest well with me

[–]gorillamania 0 points1 point ago

When you see it...

[–]Concrastination 0 points1 point ago

I was expectic a "When you see it..." style post. Then I shit bricks.

[–]YaoPau 0 points1 point ago

Great headline.

[–]WafflesHouse 0 points1 point ago

Yeah. I zoomed in. Damnit.

[–]Usernameexample 0 points1 point ago

But the real question is whether or not these can be broken down and made into meth like regular Legos...

[–]I_Actually_Hate_You 0 points1 point ago

I think you'll find that chewing will quickly eliminate that possibility.

[–]LoveFluffyBunny 0 points1 point ago

This actually made me laugh really hard.

[–]thatkid12 0 points1 point ago

These things were the shit to get on Halloween as a kid

[–]itslikeboo 0 points1 point ago

Finally, my years of experience in chewing on legos will bear fruit!

[–]noirdrone 0 points1 point ago

I swear someone makes this exact joke about once every month.

[–]shw91 0 points1 point ago

Anyone else think this is incredibly dangerous?

[–]shadowwolf5552 0 points1 point ago

I also remember those Eggo Lego waffles.

At least it wont hurt like a mother fucker when you step on them

I've actually had some of these at downtown Disney and they are a lot of fun to play with and they taste good

This was my thought process.

[–]icepenguin21 0 points1 point ago

Are this for real? Or a joke?!

[–]StatmanThunderfist 0 points1 point ago

I was looking for the hidden black face or misplaced nipple for too long before I got the pun. Reddit, I am Shamed...

[–]stargunner 0 points1 point ago

god damnit you made me laugh op

[–]Nanselmi 0 points1 point ago

You've got it all wrong OP. You eat these candies, you will shit muthafuckin' castles!!!

[–]Acid_Zek 0 points1 point ago

Mother of god, can use though with real legos

[–]lurklurklurkPOST 0 points1 point ago

Best title ever.

[–]Roger_rabbit23 0 points1 point ago

After stepping barefoot on one too many Lego pieces at night, I think I can pass on these.

[–]butzsven 0 points1 point ago

Americans: Please note that it is "LEGO", and not "LEGOS".

[–]Spamsational 0 points1 point ago

Didn't realise it was a pun, so I kept looking for a black guy somewhere in the photo for about 10 seconds.

[–]Supershitdotcom 0 points1 point ago

Shat some colourful bricks

[–]bangupjobasusual 0 points1 point ago

Still don't see the black guy

[–]notjawn 0 points1 point ago

... if.. if they do what they do to your feet what will they do to your mouth?

[–]JonCee500 0 points1 point ago

I'd love to throw a few real ones in the mix and sit back and watch the show...

[–]mcfuuuu 0 points1 point ago

Amazing, yet potentially dangerous for some of the smaller kids who would try to eat Legos.

Wouldn't Lego people give perfect hand jobs?

[–]YelIowmamba 0 points1 point ago

I saw this before, but w/ a more clever title. Downvotes for you!

[–]macataq 0 points1 point ago

They were so yummy though

[–]sheleftmalfoy 0 points1 point ago

They have sugar blocks that look like Lego that you can eat. I love those things!

[–]mrplinko 0 points1 point ago

No. We will not shit these bricks as these have been off the shelf (and on the intar-tubes) for years.

[–]Coupe63 -1 points0 points ago

but no problem with these? and they actually work... kinda...

[–]FreeThinkerLee -1 points0 points ago

Those were actually really good, it sucks they don't make them anymore :(

[–]PeanutButterPorpoise -1 points0 points ago

You shouldn't use that word.

[–]lovesquared -1 points0 points ago

Haaa I see what you did there. I would build the hell out of these.

[–]Daniellandos -1 points0 points ago

I need that in my mouth.

[–]Geezer_Spud -1 points0 points ago

you clever bastard

[–]BigFatChewie -1 points0 points ago

i remember these, they were fucking awful

[–]lucw -1 points0 points ago

I thought there was something hidden, then I got the joke...

[–]kellyyyanne -1 points0 points ago

Thats like my two favorite things wrapped up in one awesome package!

[–]ego-madness -1 points0 points ago

I just came here hoping to downvote or upvote the "where is it?" Haven't found one. Not sure whether I feel good for humanity or disappointed in lack of amusement...

Hahaha literally.

[–]interplanetjanet -1 points0 points ago

Figuratively AND literally!

[–]HighSalinity -1 points0 points ago

I've created a habit to skipping into the comments for these instead of actually looking at the picture first. I was thoroughly confused until I saw the image.
