So lets recap...
You're "a safety engineer"...
You're "concerned about an increase in children eating these (brown)
bricks"...
Therefore you propose "chocolate Lego bricks would find a niche in the
sweets market".
So by that reasoning if we're concerned about children eating medicine that
resembles candy...
a "safety engineer" would propose making candy that looks like medicine?
Hmmm... interesting approach. 8-)
I guess the "co.uk" explains the *interesting* idea. I guess it all depends
on how you define safety.
For the record, when I was young, I would occasionally put Lego pieces in my
mouth for no apparent reason other than the texture was pleasant and the
taste was not foul. I did not chew on Lego though.
My mother expressed her concern that I would choke, and so I stopped putting
Lego in my mouth.
If children are too young to play with Lego without thinking it is candy,
then they should not play with it unsupervised. Or dirt for that matter,
for they might think it is chocolate and eat it - a mistake I only made
once.
Also learned while quite young, an earthworm in the mouth is a peculiar
experience that mother disapproves of.
