The resemblance between M&M's(or any other small round candy) and pills is already close enough that toddlers will often down grandpa's medication thinking they're the same thing anyway.
Yeah, I'm totally horrified by them. Someone's kid is going to grab a lego from under the couch or something and snarf it when no-one is watching, we'll have a tragedy, and then the executives will have the NERVE to try and defend themselves when they get sued.
They might be cool if they actually snapped together to build things, but they don't, and they taste so nasty not even my four-year-old fruit-snack-lovin' son would eat them after the first package.
Oh man, we have a hard enough time preventing kids from eating Lego in the first place, do we not? I mean, at least I could see a good premise behind vitamin gummy bears (instead of vitamin pills).

and it made my 3 year old stepdaughter think that real legos were candy a while back and I had to do the baby heimlich on her. then she did it AGAIN!
