The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
LEGO-master, Tary, has made a creative and delicious series of food made with LEGOs.
Using the seemingly endless colors, shapes, and forms available from the toy brick-maker — Tary is able to create awesome pizza slices, cupcakes and bento boxes.
If it weren’t for the whole plastic thing and choking hazard… totally want to eat them.

Recently, we were treated to a Chicken McNugget Dispenser made entirely of LEGOs. Now, the same engineering brick toy-enthusiasts, AstonishingStudios, are back to help make breakfast a little more awesome.
The LEGO Cheerios Cereal Maker will not only dispense your yummy oat rings at the touch of a button, but it will pour your milk too. The machine even has a handy side drawer to hold your cereal spoons.
No mention if they’re considering making a dispenser for every Cheerios variety which, at last count, was somewhere in the thousands.*

Following the directions on any given LEGOs kit is so last year. Why not take those colorful bricks, and create something useful, like a McDonald’s Chicken Nugget Dispenser?
That’s exactly what the LEGO experts at Astonishing Studios did. Using a bunch of red bricks and some electronics, the fully-functional machine accepts a 2 Euro coin, and will then dispense a four-piece McNuggets and a sauce packet.
Check out how this thing works…
The problem with ordinary LEGOs is that, although they’re addictive and colorful, they’re just not jiggly and edible enough.
Thankfully, there’s “The King of Random” Grant Thompson to help solve our real world problem. With a few simple ingredients and supplies, Grant makes totally edible and fully-stackable Gummy LEGO Bricks and minifigures.
Your new gummies will help make a very gelatinous tower, or any structure you can come up with. And, the best part, is that the gummy LEGOs won’t destroy your feet if stepped on.
Artist Akihiro Mizuuchi has come up with a way to combine a few of our favorite things… chocolate and LEGOS. And, not only are the candy bricks nice to look at, but they’re completely functional.
Assemble any structure or pop culture character you’d like. Or, keep it simple and construct yourself a chocolate bar. We know, LEGOS are hard.
