Littering is cool. So, if you haven’t gone and reported me to the “green” police by now, I’ll explain what I mean. A company by the name of The Way We See The World have designed a line of “Jelloware” cups that are edible, as well biodegradable.
As if that wasn’t cool enough, if you end up throwing the cup in the grass after use, it will actually provide add nutrients to the grass. So who thinks this might be the perfect cup for all those outside spring and summer cocktail parties?

Quote:

The cups are made entirely out of a substance called agar agar. Agar agar is a gelatin-like substance that originally comes from red algae. I know what you might be thinking “Eat a cup that is made of Algae? Heck No!”. So, for you haters out there, I encourage you to remember that those tasty portobello or button mushrooms that you might love so much are actually fungus.

Cool. I like that they're trying to brand it for Absolut too.

Ghostly · 6th Mar 2011, 11:39 AM

OMG I like them!!! :0

Wait...
SO I could have a HUGE outside Beer Pong Party...

And my grass will be HEALTHIER if I DON'T clean up?

GUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH(Sound of Orgasm)

Agar agar doesn't have flavour If I can remember, but awsome idea!

BlueDuck · 6th Mar 2011, 02:49 PM

^ Thats probably a big reason why they chose it. They could add whatever flavor they wanted.

They sound like an awesome idea, but it'd be kinda weird to have a Jello like cup in your hand.

I'd probably be the person to go pick it up, squeeze to hard and have the drink go everywhere. X_X

The problem is I'd still give someone who dropped one a death-stare, because I wouldn't realise that they were specially designed to biodegrade.

They need a big label on the side saying BIODEGRADABLE for people like me.

Who the hell needs to be reminded that mushrooms are fungus?
