Rock at the seaside tends to have the name of the place you bought it running through the centre. Blackpool is a famous example.
Perhaps as you eat the rock the message could change, giving you more information about the place, a little story or maybe even images like some kind of sugary comic book
stick!

Nice. I wouldn't eat it, but it's a fun idea. It belongs in a spy novel or something. |
|
| |
you'd have to devise a new way to make the rock. any ideas? |
|
| |
POWs could get red cross rock maps to escape from enemy mountain top castle prisons! |
|
| |
make the rock the normal way, each with different images, and then stick them together to make one stick. |
|
| |
I dont know how practical that is. I went to a rock factory once, but i was more concerned about getting to the shop part. |
|
| |
I saw how they make these. They make a big sugary log out over various coloured strands of sugar substance then they roll and lengthen it into a long noodle and cut the candies out. |
|
| |
Perhaps I should rename it readable rock candy? |
|
| |
//Perhaps they could put the //miranda rights on our version of "rock" which happens to be crystal methamphetamine// |
|
| |
Or crack, which is also nicknamed "rock" sometimes. |
|
| |
But then, coke is sometimes called candy..... |
|
| |
To be honest, drugs are often named after common substances...... |
|
| |
//Perhaps I should rename it readable rock candy?// |
|
| |
Unfortunately, 'rock candy' is taken. It is crystallized sugar, usually on a stick, and wouldn't work well for this idea. Love these trans-atlantic naming differences. |
|
| |
"Rock" must be an English thing. I was confused along with Chef. What we need is a Halfbakery rock. |
|
| |
Half-One-Oneandahalf-Two! |
|
| |
Useful names for things: The US name for this stuff is just "hard candy". The general technique of layering noodles of colors in materials like glass or clay is called "millefiory". Getting regular and legible results is trickier than it looks. |
|
| |
The video for Peter Gabriel's "Sledge Hammer" did some - visual, not verbal - storytelling via gradual change of pictures in clay. |
|
| |
You could make spherical eco-candy that displays the results of more and more global warming, the longer you suck on it. Green apple? [Wow, Ling, I really like your version, below, too. A candy model of a human heart!] |
|
| |
there could be layerd flavours so it gets hotter as you suck too. |
|
| |
How about making a human body version, and see the various structures appear as you gradually eat away the outer layers? |
|
| |
Nice addition [Helix]. The very centre could be a poprock. |
|
| |
the final message would read: " Your teeth
are in the jar" + |
|
| |
Start with several different big sticks.
Roll them to _almost_ the necessary thinness. Cut into small sections.
Wrap a set of sections - one from each in sequence in order - into a new outer layer.
Roll further to necessary thinness. |
|
| |
//They make a big sugary log// |
|
| |
When you first see how they make 'em it's one of those "so that's how" moments - the sticks start off about a metre in diameter before they roll them thinner. |
|
| |
If you could make sure that the picture label pealed off nicely too before eating that would be nice. |
|
| |
Yeah, part of the label is always left behind. maybe the labels could be made from sugar too. It wouldnt be so bad then. |
|
| |
Sprinkle with CatNip & I will eat most stuff |
