Children like to play with their food, and they like colourful sweeties. Now, children can have both, with [Kellogg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kelloggs-products) USA's Lego Fun Snacks. These are [colourful snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bear-fruit-bites) that are shaped like Lego pieces in grape, cherry, and 'graperry' flavours that contain 100% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C per pouch. They come in small pouches that are perfect for the lunchbox as a treat for nursery and school.

**Implications** - I have always had a thing for playing with my food, but polite society has trained me to think that is inappropriate; until, that is, the creation of Lego Fun Snacks.
