... because Shick wasn't willing to license razorblade gum?
Posted by Laurence Simon at 11:58 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (31)

I saw this on Gizmodo:

That's right. LEGO snack treats. Because nothing says love like teaching your kids the fuzzy, choking hazard barrier between food and fun.

According to the product page:

Kosher Status Not Certified

Folks, it doesn't take a rabbi to tell you that these things ain't Kosher.

This got me to thinking about Dangerous Snacks For Kids, teaching them to stick various hazardous objects into their mouths, and the first thing to come to mind was "Light Socket Lollipops."

Anybody out there as sick as me willing to give this challenge a shot? The comments are open.

Gummy Push Pins

#1 - Posted by: spacemonkey on February 14, 2007 12:32 PM

Lawn darts, gummy worms, and black licorice are cruel existing child commodities. How about edible tin foil, Kitchen cleaner snak pack, over sized microwave replicas for children to play in and FrankJ books for kids.

#2 - Posted by: loomdog on February 14, 2007 12:34 PM

I’m for starting a new line of chocolate and peanut butter treats shaped like dog turds.

We’ll call them: “Reese’s Feces”

#3 - Posted by: Neo on February 14, 2007 12:41 PM

Liquid Plumber brand fruit juice (no need to refrigerate; you can even store it under the sink)

#4 - Posted by: Frank J. on February 14, 2007 01:42 PM

"Cherry" bombs that actually taste like cherries! It'd be a million laffs!

#5 - Posted by: Silicon Valley Jim on February 14, 2007 01:42 PM

Frosted Mini-Cleets

Honey Bunches of Bolts

Chocolate covered cherry bombs


How about a variation on V-8?

'STRYCH-9', The Beverage That'll Really Kill Your Thirst!

#6 - Posted by: AlanABQ on February 14, 2007 01:42 PM

How about PEZ dispensers shaped like full scale 9mm pistols?

#7 - Posted by: FormerHostage on February 14, 2007 01:48 PM

Lil' teeny tiny suicide vests with pouches filled with taffy shaped like blocks of Semtex.

#8 - Posted by: FormerHostage on February 14, 2007 01:56 PM

"Spring Surprise" and "Crunchy Frog" leap to mind.

Spun-sugar glassware. Drink up fast! Too big to easily fit in the mouth, so smack it against the side of the table first.

#9 - Posted by: Cadrys on February 14, 2007 02:02 PM

They also make a Lego version of Eggos -- my 3 year old loves them.

Lol!!! You could market them as Dora the Exploder!

#11 - Posted by: AlanABQ on February 14, 2007 02:29 PM

Crystal sugar in the shape of light bulbs--break and eat.

#12 - Posted by: smitty on February 14, 2007 02:38 PM

You know those little packs in the packaging when you buy new stuff. The ones with "DO NOT EAT" printed on them?

Along with those, put small packs of PopRocks in the boxes but print "EAT ME" on them (in Chinese)

#13 - Posted by: FormerHostage on February 14, 2007 02:42 PM

Alan,
"Dora the Exploder?!?!?"
Que loco!

#14 - Posted by: FormerHostage on February 14, 2007 02:45 PM

Super Glue Lip Gloss
Lice Krispies
Kellogg's Razor Bran
Hefty disposable Suffocatin' Sac
Pre-tied licorice nooses

Actually, a few years ago, turd-shaped chocolates were a big seller in Europe. Figures.

A far sturdier bough of satire, Simon.

Okay, let's see, what do we got? How about Relay Race Scissors?

Tylenol brand red-and-white hard candies - they come in a cool little cylindrical container with a pop-off lid (twist-off version also available).

Mr. Yuk brand juice drink.

#19 - Posted by: SilverBubble on February 14, 2007 07:32 PM

Jim Jones brand kool-aid (at least it's a lot better for society than Liberal brand kool-aid!)

Toster bath toys.

Bambo shard cookies.

10 guage steel bb gun targets.

Shotgun shell romp-a-stompers.

Lawn edger sit&spin.

Oh, and Alan...the vest would go better as an accesory with Di$ney "Al Quida Aladan and Jihad Jasmine" dolls.

#20 - Posted by: Wolfman Dan on February 14, 2007 08:35 PM

"Lawn darts"

Oh, man, the memories. I had some of these (I think they were called Jarts) when I was 10 and my brother was 7. We would hurl those things at each other from about 15-20 yards away and have to dive out of the way at the last second lest we be impaled with a 16 inch semi-guided missile with a 9 inch rusty prison shank on the end.

Other toys? Other than Mr. Mainway, does anyone remember Dan Aykroyd and "Bag of Glass" on SNL back when it was still a funny show?

#21 - Posted by: slug on February 14, 2007 10:02 PM

I remember the Dan Akroyd character. My favorite was the invisible pedestrian. a black sheet to be worn at night. Maybe that was Gary Larson, Oh well.

#22 - Posted by: loomdog on February 14, 2007 10:18 PM

To all those suggesting anything that has do do with scissors and running: I did this when I was three, I don't remember if it was fun at the time, but it but the big black scar on my left eye is a great conversation starter.

You may think I'm kidding, but I'm not. I really did run with scissors, fall, and poke them into my eye.

#23 - Posted by: Ran with scissors on February 15, 2007 02:29 AM

Dora the Exploder!!! LOL that is so horrible but hilarious.

#24 - Posted by: Emily on February 15, 2007 03:32 AM

My boys would actually like these! Come on, whose boys wouldn't actually like to have legos that their mom DOESN'T take out of their mouths? :)

#25 - Posted by: Wacky Hermit on February 15, 2007 08:02 AM

How about candy cigarettes, or a gum shredded and packaged in a pouch like chewing tobacco? Oh, wait...

#26 - Posted by: Stephen on February 15, 2007 12:08 PM

My favorite part about the lawn darts was when some klutz would hold onto one too long and end up throwing it way up in the air. “Everybody, cover your head and run for your life” Almost as fun as bottle rocket and fire cracker wars. By the way, if in a bottle rocket fight, (Not Advised) don’t carry around the box with all the fireworks.

#27 - Posted by: NEo on February 15, 2007 01:48 PM

Hey, don't make fun of Lego candy, with toast, juice and milk they provide all the vitamins and nutrients of juice, milk,toast and sugar.

How about Roach Motel raisin boxes?
Or Benjamin Moore candy-apple coating in the large, round, tin can?

I'm a little surprised I'm the first with:
Jagged metal Krusty-O in a box of Krusty-Os?


#28 - Posted by: Veeshir on February 15, 2007 02:09 PM

And don't forget Happy Fun Ball!

#29 - Posted by: Stephen on February 15, 2007 02:41 PM

DO NOT TAUNT HAPPY FUN BALL

#30 - Posted by: Gun Toting Whacko on February 15, 2007 03:27 PM

Something like the fun dip candy, where you lick your finger and stick it into the pouch of sugar, except make it in the shape of a wall power outlet. Just stick your finger into the outlet for sugary goodness!
