Kellogg's Lego Fun Snacks Sends Mixed Messages To Your Child



Much of the stress of parenting, we imagine, stems from keeping your child out of danger. Just when you thought you had taught your child not to put small objects in their mouth, Kellogg's introduces Lego Fun Snacks! Penny Arcade blogger Gabe discovered the snacks which resemble Lego building blocks but have a fun fruity taste.

"Lil' Gabe is 3 and a half now and so it's very important that we always have a ready supply of fruit snacks. If we're out shopping or at the bank or whatever, fruit snacks have the ability to soothe the savage three year old. We like to let Gabe pick out his own fruit snacks and he usually will choose Spider-Man or maybe SpongeBob. However I came home recently and found these in the pantry.

I would love to know what sick bastard at Kellogg's came up with this genius idea. I just spent the first three years of my sons life trying to get him not to eat blocks, and now you're telling him they taste like fucking strawberries. Thanks a lot assholes. Seriously, how in the hell did this ever get past their legal department. You can't tell me that this isn't a lawsuit just waiting to happen. I can only assume that their next product is fruit flavored thumbtacks."

All I can say is :wtf:

What marketing ninja came up with this brilliant idea?

4. What dumbass would buy this for their kid?

Is 'Lil Gabe' grocery shopping all by himself? Or can poor Mommy just not take Lil Gabe's whining and screaming so she buys him whatever he wants in order to placate him?


Any parent who buys this is a dumbass.

9. When I was a kid we had candy cigarettes

They actually intended to hurt us, by conditioning us for later smoking (I resisted). But Kellogs is just stupid.
