I recently came across an article titled “44 Surprising Things You Can Eat - From Gold Pills to Deodorant.” It was truly amazing to see how many things could actually be ingested by a human being.
The items listed in the article are great because they not only taste good, but they’re also great for the environment! Instead of being thrown away and winding up in our overcrowded landfills, they go straight to your stomach. Now that’s the true definition of waste-free.
The article got me connecting its content with the world of pop culture. So I decided to pick a few of my favorite items and see how a true pop icon would use them.
And the 8 edible items and pop icons are:
Flavor of Gold 
Flavor Flav, you know that we love your dazzling golden smile and all the oversized bling hanging from your neck, but can’t you just take some of these 24K gold pills at $275 a pop and shine from the inside?
The Da Sushi Code 
Tom Hanks, too bad you didn’t have these edible postcards made from dried squid when you were stranded on an island in Cast Away, or when you were tracking down Matt Damon in Saving Private Ryan, or when you were chasing Leonardo DiCaprio around the world in Catch Me If You Can. You could have even written a letter to Jenny when you were in Vietnam with Bubba and Lt. Dan Taylor.
A Simple Life is Like a Box of Chocolates 
I’d just love to see Paris playing this in the middle of a hot day next to one of her hotel’s swimming pools. I bet she would be thinking that her dog Tinkerbell had an accident.
Rising From the Dead…or the Dough? 
If there was ever going to be another Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street or Halloween film, then this Thai artist’s bread bakery would be where the directors should get their inspiration.
Jim Takes a Shot at Dwight…Again! 
It would be very funny to watch Jim drink a shot and then eat one of these edible candy cane glasses in front of Dwight. Instead of thinking that Jim was a vampire like in a past episode, Dwight would think that Jim had super powers. And then Dwight would be jealous because he didn’t have super powers. And then he’d run and tell Michael. And then Michael would hold a company meeting about “How it’s okay to have super powers and to be ethnically diverse.” And then the usual office shenanigans would ensue.
Time to Forget About Saturday Night Sweat! 
Alec Baldwin won’t have to worry about “Schweaty Balls” if he takes this ingestible deodorant that contains chlorophyll, which helps stop excessive sweat and is good for your liver!
Paper or Plastic? How About Both? 
Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee are back together… again. Not surprising. I think that the next time they sign divorce papers, they should sign them on this 100% edible paper from Italy. That way the next time Pamela gets plastic surgery, they can just recover the papers from wherever they make the incision.
Nice to Meet You, Here’s My Peanut 
These would have been the perfect business cards for Seth Rogen’s character Ben Stone in last year’s comedy Knocked Up. He could have printed the name of his Mr. Skin online website on the peanuts, and if nobody wanted them, he could have just eaten them. You know Ben liked to snack on food!
So these are just a few of the coolest items I found in the article. You can see all of the other innovative and wacky items here at TrendHunter.com.
Being green isn’t just about picking up trash. It’s about not producing any by eating whatever you can!
