I think it is safe to assume that at some point, all of our parents told us not to play with our food.  However, I’m not a big fan of that idea as I think it stifles a kids creativity and inner scientist.  Not to mention, if you play with your food, you can get things like this awesome 8-bit Mario and Link make out of Skittles!

Yesterday morning, I was hanging out on twitter looking for the latest news from the Waldo Canyon fire which is burning around 50 miles north of me when I stumbled across a tweet with this awesome picture of an 8-bit Link and an 8-bit Mario that had been made out of Skittles candy.  The tweet came from @raidz3ro although I’m not sure if they made these or somebody else. Whoever made them, they are awesome!

Pass this along to any Super Mario Bros or Legend of Zelda fans you know!  Like us on Facebook too!
