I've had this thought in the past, but it only resurfaced with seeing a commercial.

At the end of just about every PlayDoh commercial you hear, "Fun to play with! Not to eat." Let's stop and think about this phrase for a second. If you've ever played with the stuff as a kid, there is nothing, at least I would think nothing, appealing about trying to eat it. I mean, it has an odd flavor, and since we do a majority of our tasting with our nose, it can be only assumed that no child would ever eat PlayDoh. But with most of the commercials, as far back as the 90's that I know of, they have always ended their commercials that way. And on a side note, I can see that sometimes PlayDoh may smell like a food to some kids, but........BUT! If you don't want kids to eat your product that isn't made for eating...........WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH WOULD YOU MAKE ACCESSORIES FOR PLAYDOH THAT WILL MOLD IT INTO FOOD!!!! If the child ate PlayDoh that was molded into fold, and was told by a friend that it was gummy food, which there has been a gummy burger at least, as a prank, then PlayDoh should have never put out another molding kit that would make PlayDoh look like food. But here we are in 2014 with PlayDoh releasing products that mold it into food.
