Edible CDs
All this talk of edible non-edible DVDs is making me hungry | |
Laser-imprinted sugar glass discs.
Might have to make them a bit thicker than regular CDs, but I think it is feasible.

They make chocolate CDs. Not functional, but I think they come in a CD case! [monkeywidget, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

Pop it in your CD drive and watch Capn Crunch commercials! |
|
| |
Good for that mid-morning sugar craving while stuck at the office. Can we make them in pixie stick flavors? |
|
| |
Novel for practical jokes. Mid-meeting. Everybody's tense. Suddenly, blurt out "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!" as you ingest an M$ office lookalike. |
|
| |
waterm, how many tense meetings have *you* been stuck in? :-) |
|
| |
(too much insight for a 13 year old!) |
|
| |
Not if he is a boy scout. Look up your local troop, and sit through a meeting as you watch frazzled adult leaders try to get 5 groups of 8 kids to take care of a task as simple as creating a menu for 2-day campout. |

Thanks. I help out at my dad's office from time. Making coffee runs and the like, but I butt in when necessary. =D
[By the way, on my 'lookalike' comment: Ice cream parlors here have a service they call Freeze Frame-- in which an image is printed on sugar 'paper' and put on a cake. Is this viable here?] |
|
| |
I know it wasn't an actual functioning CD, but Microsoft did distribute chocolate CD's in a jewel case at a seminar I attended a couple of years ago. I think it may have been DevDays. |

1) Open AOL CD case. Insert into CD-ROM drive
2) Follow onscreen directions
3) Eject CD
4) Peel off foil and enjoy a tart citrus or fresh berry flavor treat. |
|
| |
I don't think they'd work quite the same in the microwave, however.. |
|
| |
Apparently FreezeFrame is a trademark of Baskin & Robbin. But it still sounds very viable for CDs. |
|
| |
DrCurry, you could make them from lentil flour. |
|
| |
Spray lightly with oil, place in microwave for one miute on HIGH, enloy with Kadai Lamb Cops and Raita. |
|
| |
Keep them away from CD burners. |
|
| |
<off-topic>FreezeFrame is also a trademark of Optical and Electronic Research.</off-topic> |

UB: Anything more than 5-6 seconds and you're looking to enjoy a side order of fried magnetron as well.. |
|
| |
If they're made from lentil flour? That makes them poppadums, in my limited experience of food preparation. |
|
| |
Glad you rectified that before I had to institute a google search.
I thought you were insulting Pop. |
|
| |
ok, so if you buy a new album and it turns out you think it sucks, then you eat it?
lol....after paying like $20 for it too cause of all the copyright |
|
| |
UB: As long as lentil flour contains a small percentage of water, it probably would not hurt the microwave. I don't even know what a poppadum is, in my limited experience with food consumption.. |
|
| |
A poppadum is a type of unleavened flat bread, made from lentil flour. It is usually deep-fried and served up, all crispy, with Indian curry dishes. |
|
| |
You can achieve the same effect with the method described above. |
|
| |
Being about 1mm thick and 5&1/4in in diameter would make them perfect for this idea. Use, cook, enjoy. |
|
| |
I don't think breadible CD's would last very long. And who would market the requisite players? Pan-asonic? |
|
| |
This idea is still good, though, especially if the sugar discs actually played music. |
|
| |
Different flavo(u)rs for different music. I'm imagining Ozzy Razzberry or Pepsi Brittney. |
|
| |
I bet Oasis would taste horrible. |
|
| |
And then you could have a special toilet which plays the CD when it's coming out the old digestion system |
|
| |
OH NO! I just ate my favorite song. DANG! |
|
| |
Why is my CD player covered in ants? |
|
| |
Perfect for The Archies, I should imagine. |
|
| |
Basically, this won't work because the disc will fly apart at operating RPM. However, I like it anyway. |
|
| |
I don't think sugar glass would fall apart... What can the reflective inside be made of? |
