Jello treat of the month
In my continuing quest to give you relief from the stresses that face us all, here’s another taste of Jello fun: the jello ring.
Yes, that’s what I said: ring, as in a ring to wear on the finger.
The Japanese—whose sense of fashion and flair is something I understand not at all—have come up with these pieces of edible jewelry, among others:
The adornments are made by a firm called “Honey Bunny,” which is currently:
…filling the lives of Tokyo kids with delectable pieces from a yummy utopian world of sweet fashion…[C]reators Hansel and GR, as they like to be called, started whipping up batches of goodness about 2 years ago when they saw a shortage of sweet treats to wear and share. Since then the sweet accessory look has boomed in Japan…
I’ll leave you to digest this news in piece. My only additional comment is, why is this “yummy world of sweet fashion” labeled “utopian?” Anyone who wishes to tackle that important question is welcome—nay, urged—to do so.
Well, obviously, having “sweet treats to wear” and not necessarily to eat, that’s what makes it utopian. The only other case I can think of involving the wearing of food are those girls in Rio in Carnival wearing fruit on their heads. Which is more my idea of Utopia, actually.
How is this much different from a Ring Pop?
I mean, except for the fact that one jiggles and the other doesn’t. I would think that a Jello Ring would be much more fragile on the playground.
But as far as putting food on a ring goes, it’s been done before!
Where do you find this stuff, you Jello fool, you? Wonderful!
Utopia=wearable comestibles? One size fits all, no doubt… 😉
I think they’ve cheated. Its actually a gummi bear substance masquerading as jello.
