Hey all,

I was out with my girlfriend today on a family day and I saw something I
never knew existed - candy in the shape of Lego! We bought a small bag of it
just for fun, and because I was curious about it. Well, when I got home the
girlfriend and kids fell asleep soon after we got home and I was stuck
watching Star Wars on TV for the millionth time. I wanted to build something
with this candy but was somewhat disheartend by the fact they had no
"stickyness" to them in any way. But as I was watching the X-Wings swoop by
trying to destroy the Death Star on TV I was inspired to make something like
an X-Wing - but was limited to the candy on hand and the "non-stickyness" of
the candy. I think I did a pretty good job considering my tools, if you are
intrested I posted about it on my site - http://www.landofbricks.com -- you
can check it out there, I have pics of it and a brief little story on it
there, linked to on the main page.

  Was the candy made by Concord? If it is, they're in trouble. Lego sued
them fr that  a few years ago because kids ate  real Legos, thinking they
were candy.                                   -Mani

(...) Shouldn't this get a Darwin Awards honorable mention? Would these same kids drink motor oil thinking it was cola? I think it might prove a worthy experiment. =) -- Hop-Frog (23 years ago, 7-May-02, to lugnet.fun, lugnet.general)

(...) lol, ya - I heard about that after posting this from a few people. It did not say who made the candy, it was just in one of the bulk bins - all it had was the name - "LEGO Blox Candy" and the ingredients. Mark P (23 years ago, 9-May-02, to lugnet.fun, lugnet.general)
