So the blue rock candy and blue candy cupcakes that you might have seen have been to be somewhat controversial as I have stated before in a previous post. What about this show and meth makes it so popular? Why do we make every type of merchandise to sell? Tshirts, cups, candy, just about anything. Why do we glamorize this idea of meth? Before this show the idea of meth was it was a disgusting drug. While many people still think that, there is almost less of a stigma because of the show. Breaking Bad shows normal, decent looking Americans who are involved in the cooking, selling and using of meth.
But now Legos? Is this too far? While this show does have a more adult audience and a Breaking Bad Lego set would probably be a gift to a Breaking Bad fanatic, Legos are still associated as a child’s toy. While this is a harmless toy, it kind of shows how comfortable we are with the idea of drugs and meth in particular. Breaking Bad is just one of many series and that introduces drugs to its viewers. When we see things acted it out its almost as if we start to become okay with the idea of it.
