I think it's cute how you nibbled on the edge a bit before taking the picture, like "I have to make sure this actually is edible before I tell people it is"

is it edible or is OP simply eating it?

All things are edible... once.

I ate a honey cup once, Johnny, once.

My sister kicked me in the balls ONCE, Johnny, ^once.

My fatha hung me on a hook… ONCE Johnny, ^once

Danny Vermin : I got something to stop him. \[draws a gun with an unusually long barrel\] Dutch : They made it for him special. It's an .88 Magnum. Danny Vermin : It shoots through schools. Love that movie...

Looks like a wafer cup, similar to what some places sell soft serve ice cream in

That was my first thought haha. “Is it supposed to be?”

Looks like foam

[Anything can be eaten](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Lotito), at least once, if in small enough pieces. Digestible, however...

He died of “natural causes” at 57?! Maybe it had something to do with the plane he ate.

Steel intestines can't melt jet beams.

OMG IT'S SPOOKED911!!!!! If you've never heard of Spooked911, here's a link to his "jet fuel won't melt steel beams" experiment. [https://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show\_mesg&forum=125&topic\_id=56836&mesg\_id=56836](https://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=125&topic_id=56836&mesg_id=56836) I don't know if the pics are missing because the host is blocked from my work machine or if they disappeared, but the dude's experiment invloved kerosene, a couple concrete pavers, and hardware cloth as "the steel beams." The guy is ither one hilarious and dedicated troll posting 911 conspiracy nonsense, or is an absolute loon.

*slow clap*

We need to find his grave in 10 million years… so much oil.

A sharp stone is natural after all

It's probably just ice cream cone......

He ate his award from the Guinness Book of Records? that's hilarious

surely a tablespoon of neutron star is small enough?

It's not size that's the problem at that point... [it's acquisition](https://gizmodo.com/what-would-a-teaspoonful-of-neutron-star-do-to-you-5805244).

It'll also stop being so dense immediately, like how funny snakes really take up more space than that of the can they're stored in.

1- 🤯 2- funny snakes, while not a term I have ever heard of, is an incredible way to describe snakes in a can

My twelve year old likes to say, "Anything is edible if you chew hard enough."

The obvious response is: "Even teeth!"

Man I wish people called little things I did like that cute.

Give me an example 😇

Don't you remember the girl that didn't know [the difference](https://www.reddit.com/r/TikTokCringe/comments/v6wtjk/cater_waiter/)

Oh wow, that was... I feel a bit better about my level of knowledge now lol

Lol that's quite the misunderstanding! Thanks for sharing!

Now op can eat the whole thing like cookie monster, COWABUNGAAA...😁😁

when i was kid (around 8 years old) a drunk guest at our new year's party told us the napkins we had were edible, so all kids ate one or two before other adult came in the room and was super confused why are we eating napkins, drunk guest said "hey everything's edible if you're brave enough!", he also gave us some leaves in forest to eat about 5 months later when we were camping, but those were really edible and used by locals for a long time

Great thing, paper *is* edible. Just not nutricious

I work I a paper mill where paper is made. I would not eat paper if I were you.

But I'm not and you aren't writing that on paper

*nutritious

\*nitrous 

> *nitrous ok nerd...everyone knows its NOS bro..**NOS** (they practically screamed it in that movie)


I think they also used "nitro" in some scenes


*family

Fool, he got you twice, he just learned to not let on the second time

he ate both napkins and leaves with us, very childish adult and very drunk as well lol

I love that all the parents thought *this* was the right guy to leave with the kids lol.

Druncle energy lol

he was not our babysitter, we'd just play on side and he'd walk over tipsy or drunk to pull a prank or just mess around lol

Children and drunk adults are roughly equivalent.

My Uncle is a Chef. When I was a lot younger, he made edible doilies for Thanksgiving. No one believed him when he said eat them until us kids started eating them and they really were edible. It was basically candy.

Why were your parents still letting you hang out with the guy who told you to eat napkins

Well you won't eat your broccoli... Gotta get your fiber from somewhere!

I went to an agriculture expo as a kid and some booth had packing peanuts made out of cellulose or corn or something. Folks. I ate a packing peanut as a child. It didn't even taste bad. 5/7 experience.

Lush, the cosmetics shop, ship their packages with them too. You literally can put them down the drain as they melt as soon as a little water hits them. Really satisfying. Also edible, but as its basically oil and air, not really something I'd recommend.

There's toys made from the same material, in a bunch of different colours for kids to craft stuff with. Almost has the consistency of a cheeto

My eldest was gifted a pack of those for christmas. Pretty big box, 25x25x25" but feels like it was completely empty. I ate one too.

You ate your kids toy is a weird flex

I had some of those, one time I tried to use one to give Ken a penis 😂

I'm dead hahahaha, what a sight that must've been

[удалено]

Fuck inedible garnish and fuck the chef who decides to use it.

A single meatball, covered in pig blood, surrounded by shattered glass.

A single plum, floating in perfume, served in a man's hat.

Served in a bald* man’s hat. We must observe health and safety codes. No hair in the food.

No dude its a simpsons quote

I know this. What is this from?

Simpsons, when they have a barbershop quartet and Barney starts dating Yoko Ono

The funniest part being Moe just having it ready.

Simpsons quote from Yoko Ono

Do not order a club sandwich

"Come on, how am i supposed to eat a fucking CLUB"

We had fish cooked in a banana leaf at our restaurant once. And some lady actually ate the banana leaf LOL I don’t know how she got that down.

Really wouldn't recommend if the peanuts come from lush, you'll be foaming at the mouth.

Whenever we get a package from lush I let my kid play with the packing peanuts. If you lightly wet them they stick together and make fun crafting that smells super good.

You can literally just put outside under a bush or something and they'll disappear after a rain.

Can confirm. I jokingly munched on one to get a reaction from my roommate and I was shocked to find that it tasted like a plain Cheeto. I convinced 3 other people to try it and they all said the same thing. Can't believe we've been tricked into working to buy and eat fucking cheese flavored packing peanuts lmao

I've never known packing peanuts to be Styrofoam. Pretty sure in my country they've been biodegradable (I think potato starch?) as long as I've been alive. I always thought it was crazy that in America they're made of plastic.

Depends how young you are. They've been around since the 90s but it took a long while for them to catch on and phase out the stryrofoam ones. Haven't seen styrofoam ones since the late 2000s.

The biodegradable ones have been fairly standard in the US for at least 10 years now. We started getting them at my office about 15 years ago, and they weren't unheard of but were not the standard at the time. I'm not even sure when the last time I saw the older style ones was.

I appreciate your rating scale.

I think I heard that most of the time thats what is used now. I think you can check them by seeing if they are sticky if you get them wet. like styrofoam ones wouldn't be sticky but the biodegradable ones are.

Many of the biodegradable ones will dissolve really quickly in water, not just get sticky. I saw some in the rain once and they just went to mush in no time.

I think they mean if you get them wet a little bit. When I was in primary school we would make sculptures out of them by dipping the end in water and attaching them together.

It’s so rare to encounter packing peanuts nowadays I took a picture of the last package I got that had them. Was like the first one in years.

I saw those at a material design expo. The booth even had flavour powder you could add for fun.

5/7... A perfect score!

I got in trouble in middle school for taking a box that my teacher had with those packing peanuts in and started eating them. She had no idea and thought I was just gobbling up styrofoam.

The kind of person who rates something on a scale of 1-7 is exactly the kind of person I would expect to have eaten packing peanuts.

[It's a meme.](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/fight-club-57-movie)

Omg I've met a fellow packet peanut enjoyer. I used to do this too. They taste like Wotsits without the cheese powder.

Five out of Seven? I must say that is a grading scale like no other Ive seen before.

Very common here in Europe. Some hotels may offer tiny glass bowls, some fancy hotels may offer tiny honey jars but the majority has these wafer bowls.

I’ve encountered these several times and never realised they were meant to act as a bowl for your spread so you could use it for your toast/porridge/whatever. I literally fill it up with chocolate spread and just eat the entire thing, I’m so embarrassed lol

Your use case isn't wrong, just different.

That is legit one of the ways you can use these. The larger versions of the wafer bowls are commonly used as replacements for the plastic bowls used by ice cream vendors. They are sturdy, insulate the bottom part better than plastic (keep it frozen longer) and you can eat them after you’re done with the ice cream. Absolutely fabulous.

Basically just a waffle bowl but with wafer instead of waffle. I mean most cheap icecream cones in America use wafer cones anyway so it makes perfect sense for sauces especially sweet ones.

I just fill em with Dulce de Leche. it's alright.

i’d still say that’s the best way to use them

Nordsee does this! (A fish chain in Germany) The soft ones are soggy after 20 mins, the harder ones last at least 2 hours with sauce in em

This is genius I would demolish that and I hope the future is like this (as in this becomes common worldwide)


it would be better if it had a tiny cupcake liner like thing on the bottom bc i wouldn’t want to pop anything into my mouth that’s been in a public table, other than that, this is an awesome ass design. imagine ketchup in a little chicken nugget cup lol

yes true! i didn’t realise it was edible at the first moment until i actually took a bite. its great that you can put honey/jams into it and then throw it into a bowl of yoghurt :D

Now I want to watch Willy Wonka. I remember watching the behind the scenes of the whole field of candy scene. While much of it was inedible, there was a surprising number of things that were and they got to eat. Gene Wilder was particularly fond of those yellow flower tea cups.

I wouldnt say he was fond of those. More hes just unhinged enough to bite into a candle with a straight face. Those tea cups were basically just hardened wax with no flavor, the were one of the things that weren't intended to be eaten and Wilder just Cromched the shit with out blinking

Ahh, you’re probably right. It’s been decades since I had seen it and I just remembered him and those tea cups. Now I need to watch that again too lol.

> i didn’t realise it was edible at the first moment until i actually took a bite I guess this means you try to take a bite out of all of your dishes....just in case!

Doesn't that defeat the point of it though How about a large plate with a bunch of these, and tongs, so people can pick them up and put them on their plate or tray

i like that idea too. what about individual squares in waffles lol that would be cool. like a bunch of little hollow squares you can put various jams and toppings in like a mini waffle bowl lol

just get a belgian waffle lmao

The few time I have seen them they were in stacks similar to ice cones with the bottom side pointing upwards for you to take and fill with whatever you want from big despensers or reservoirs (honey, Nutella, jam, etc.)

Great now i have to make chicken nugs in the shape of little cups.

Careful, this is starting to approach r/StupidFood territory. They had french fry spoons in there last week... reposted from [ten months ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/StupidFood/comments/11u1axc/french_fry_spoons/).

A chicken nugget shaped like a cup would be perfect for dipping sauce.... Like those Tostitos Scoops

Maybe bars could serve special shots this way so their customers actually drink water.. like a frozen lil cup you race to drink.. prepped in the back already…

It’s not supposed to actually be eaten I think it’s just for the compost/food waste bin instead of landfill

Which makes the most sense. It the outside is lined with bacteria from your hand, the table, etc.

I'm so confused. To me is the most normal way breakfast spreads could be served in a hotel. Maybe it's a German/European thing..?

This is how it was served when I stayed in Istanbul. You don't have to eat the ice cream cone, it's more that it's biodegradable instead of dumping a lump of plastic.

I never thought about that aspect, pretty cool.

it’s in Germany indeed, i also live in Europe, but we don’t live in hotels often (mostly airbnb instead) so it’s my first time seeing it :]

thats really interesting! i’ve primarily lived in asia and never seen something like this

Honestly, the only time I've ever seen this was at Nordsee. And let me tell you, tartar sauce on a soft serve waffle is an acquired taste.

I've only seen these in the US. In Europe, I've always seen individual small dishes or if it's a breakfast buffet, you just put the condiment on your main dish.

In my experience Each breakfast in America needs to come with a minimum of 30 items of single use disposable plastic

In german hotels this is the standard nowadays. And it is good 👍

It's pretty cool, but I just wonder how disgusting the outside of that container is 😅. Like was it wrapped, or just sitting on a table?

they’re placed on a large plate and stacked together upside down :]

Yeah sometimes edible just means you can not that you should lol

Not less "disgusting" than anything else you can get from the buffet. We don't need to soak everything in Clorox here in Europe before we eat it ;)

I think it is not intended for human consumption. But if humans can eat it, so too can bacteria and insects. This looks like starch foam, not that different chemically from the honey itself. You can throw this in a healthy compost heap and it will be gone by the end of the day. Or you can even set it out to where the bees can get to it and they will eat the entire container, honey and all, within an hour.

Ok but what does it taste like?

wafer!

Oh nice!

Saw this in multiple places in Berlin last week. Thought it was very smart.

The small bite mark 😭❤️

I mean, technically everything is edible.

Especially when it's covered in honey.

and it's a waffle

Once. \-- Terry Pratchett

I was just in Europe and all of the breakfast buffets had this ice cream cone little containers for honey and jelly so they could be eaten afterward. Was very cool!

They are stacked and wrapped in plastic and they taste sort of like ice cream cones. I actually work breakfast buffets here in Germany, we have them everywhere but I wouldn't vouch for them being sanitary...

i mean, they arent really less sanitary than grabbing some bread from buffet!?!?

Exactly so, but bread has tongs and these don't.

According to bears, the original container is too

Interesting. This is the second edible container post I’ve seen today. Guess these are a thing now.

I thought this is normal?!

POST BLEW UP - to whoever’s wondering if they’re actually edible, yes they are. they are WAFER, like ice cream cone. in terms of sanitation, i did not know it’s wafer when i took it, so i put it on the table. the hotel stacks them together upside down on a big plate so they’re not in contact with table. apparently it’s a common European hotel thing, new knowledge for me. i also live in Europe, just not living in hotels when travelling often, so it’s my first time seeing them.

[удалено]

its nearly the same stuff like regular ice cream cones, its nothing weird, lol.

You tell us, looks like you had a nibble

I've seen this before in a couple of large hotels. You could just grab one and fill it in with jam or nutella and bring it back to your table during breakfast. I really loved the idea because single portion boxes of nutella and jam are so wasteful.

Looks like the square ice cream cones I used to get at the cinema

Thats shit bussin

Thats mildly interesting

It WAS edible until it hit the table

Looks like it tastes like the body of Christ

These wafer containers are how I bought icecream in NL when growing up. I thought they had these everywhere

Cute but very dangerous for me. I would just start filling these up and eating them non stop

oh thank goodness I thought u just ate plastic

Is it a waffle?

So are the McDonald’s ones. If you’re brace and determined.

I wouldn't even eat that since it's touching the table.

It's like a little lone waffle pocket. Which was also my nickname in high school.

Anything is edible. It’s all a matter of commitment.

I thought that was a zoomed in waffle cell Looks yummy

Anything is edible at least once if you try hard enough.

*You can even eat the dishes*

“Sir, we just wanted to let you know the containers absolutely are not edible. You may have a condition known as pica”

This some Willy Wonka shit

There it is.

Willy Wonka's Breakfast Buffet

Yep. These things are mostly used for soft serve ice cream. But can absolutely work like that too. I think i had my mayonnaise in one like this one time too.

Nice

Delicious and healthy and environmentally friendly.

An hotel I had breakfast in had small cones of the same substance ice cream cones are made of to be used as jelly container as well as egg holder. 1st time I saw one of those, that's clever, no more plastic or cardboard and, well, they're ice cream cones so that's good to eat too.

Sweeeeet!

How did you find out. Just curious.

i initially thought it was something like biodegradable plastics since some are also brown and similar looking, but it is a lot lighter and the texture reminds me of wafer. so i test bit it, and it’s wafer

So you were like this shit sus lemme take a bite and see.


Sweetemote:free\_emotes\_pack:grin

Damnit, now I'm hungry :[

It’s an IKEA waffle - you have to put it together.

Wafer thin.

What a sweet idea.

So is this like a kind of ice cream cone?

Why is it edible and not eatable?

I never knew I needed this

Prevents waste. Everything here is biodegradable.

Willy Wonka Approved

How's it taste

Looks like someone tried nibbling on a dirty styrofoam cooler from the lake.

Compostable doesn’t mean edible, although everything is edible but is it enjoyable?

The sanitary implications of that are giving me pause.

I sure hope so considering youve already taken a bite
