Are Lego's edible?

By humans? I don’t suggest it. No nutritional value.

No. And they aren’t easily passed through the alimentary canal, too many sharp points.

I’ve researched a lot of things for you, but I’m NOT going to eat a Lego to find out!!! I’m going to say NOOOO!!!

BLOX are pretty good however.

Lego is a public health hazard both inside the body and out when scattered across the living room floor.

Did you mean Eggos

@elbanditoroso No. I heard that LEGOs where made from cornstarch, or something similar.

No I’ve been to a Lego plant that made the blocks. They are made from plastic beads the size of mustard seeds.

Since 1963, the majority of the billions of Lego bricks produced each year have been made from a plastic called acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).

This video shows a lady making Legos out of jello which is NOT a good idea as small children would think that real LEgos are jello.

Give the kids a little credit, @Inspired_2write.

^^^^ Right?

These Legos are edible: https://www.candyfavorites.com/building-blocks-candy?msclkid=e2ba0f0c29b91d1e79716d658f3a61b4&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping%20Campaign&utm_term=4580840320145065&utm_content=Main%20Shopping%20Feed

@RedDeerGuy1 I heard that LEGOs where made from cornstarch

If you believe that, I’ve got a beautiful little grassy acre in Death Valley I’ll sell you.

@smudges Not that wild. Lego has invested hundreds of millions of dollars researching plant-based materials as an alternative to ABS. They tried corn and wheat. The most promising so far is sugar cane

Also, I’ve heard of super blooms in Death Valley! :D

@raum
The reason I say that is that many very young children are brought to the emergency for swallowing real legos.

Kids also swallow batteries and coins. I don’t think it’s because their parents made jello in battery and coin molds.

@raum
It wasn’t because of that but rsather the confusion that it could cause.

@Inspired_2write I don’t think small children put random objects in their mouth because they are mistaking them for jello. :)

@raum
They mistake them for bright colored candy.
Emergency at hospitals had seen a lot of these problems due to products colored brightly.

“Has your little one swallowed a Lego figurine head?
Or even worse, the entire Lego?
Kids ranging from 6 months to 3 years have a fixation for putting everything in the mouth.

In the process, an accident could happen, including the swallowing of foreign objects.

Playthings such as Lego are fun for kids, but they are also tiny, and kids are “fond of stuffing them in their mouths.”

It’s an instinct to put stuff in their mouths. That’s why you keep small choky things out of their reach. It’s on the parent, not the child.

Got to agree with @Dutchess_III. It’s just the impulse to put small things in their mouth. Batteries aren’t exactly colorful.

Like some legumes? No, don’t think so. I have several Star Wars LEGO spaceships which I had fun putting together and happy that I never once tried to chew on a piece. I’m wary imagining that thing stuck in my throat.

Cake Lagos, yes. Real ones, no.
