The little boy’s mother was off to market. She worried about her boy, who was always up to some mischief. She sternly admonished him, “Be good. Don’t get into trouble. Don’t eat all the cabbage. Don’t spill all the milk. Don’t throw stones at the cow. Don’t fall down the well.” The boy had done all of these things on other market days. Hoping to head off new trouble, she added, “And don’t stuff beans up your nose!” This was a new idea for the boy, who promptly tried it out.
That’s not necessarily a bad result. If he’s busy stuffing beans up his nose, then this might keep him out of greater trouble; everything else that’s listed before (and which apparently he did before) seems worse. That might be just what his mother planned.
i once had to go to the doctor so he could fish a lego out of my nose. So, that was worse than eating all the cabbage or spilling all the milk I think. More scary, and probably more expensive, depending on how the insurance worked out.

There is a shorter version :-)
“Kids, while we’re away, don’t lock the cat in the fridge”, said the parents.
“Ooooh, that’s a great idea”, said the kids...

I think that shape, hardness, and solubility would all make a Lego brick worse than a bean.
Really, the only way to tell is probably to try it out. Who wants to volunteer for an experiment?
