The unit can be held by the fingers of one hand, and bitten off, and it also may be attractive to a child in the manner of a toy. The stick may also be coated with candy or another contrasting food substance.
The first claim (of 13) is for:
- A one-to-two bite sized food item comprising a straight pretzel stick about three inches long, and a plurality of cereal rings arranged on and adhered to the stick.
