That memory Kevin mentioned - the fun of mixing and matching the pieces together - is a huge part of the appeal for kids, because it gives them some control. If you took that same rubbery-ass meat and cheese and put it on a sandwich for them, they would have no interest.

“It’s not crazy after you do it!”

Seriously I can’t believe this guy thinks that would happen. [reads comment]
