If Earth was distilled down to its essence, what would it taste like?
It’s an unusual question, but also a fascinating thought experiment. Considering our planet is 70% covered by oceans, there’s a good chance the overall taste is going to be salty.
Creating a bluish, salt flavored candy, Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa embodies our planet in a single, edible moment. More of an art piece than an actual product, the candy nonetheless is a disarming and unexpected creation.
“About 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by oceans. If you could shrink the Earth down and put it in your mouth, it might taste salty.
This candy, inspired by such playful, child-like imagination, also aims to evoke thoughts of real-world issues, such as pollutants and marine debris flowing into the oceans.
The candy serves as a reminder to strive for oceans that, when imagined as a taste, would be delightful.”
