Plastic Food

Some products are obviously brilliant from the first moment that you see them, others take time for the brilliance to become apparent, some never really succeed, and then are those that time reveals were fatally flawed. Now I bring you a product so dumb it makes New Coke seem like a smart idea. Kellogg’s new fruit flavoured snack that is shaped like Lego bricks. Who could possibly think that making food that is shaped like plastic toys is a good idea? What product development team thinks that encouraging young kids to swallow something on which they could choke is the way forward? Lego shaped snacks are an accident, and this being the US, a law suit waiting to happen.
