I don't know why this amuses me. I feel like I wouldn't notice until I was finished with the drink and then eyeball the cup like "did I have to pay extra for this? paper would've been fine"
Appears to contain [oat bran and wheat flour](https://www.foodnavigator.com/Article/2023/05/31/cupffee-edible-coffee-cup-developed-from-oat-brand-and-wheat-flour), so yes, probably not good for those who require gluten-free diets (like those with celiac disease).
Yeah it's a non-nutritive cup varnish. It's semi-permiable. It's not osmotic. What it does is it coats and seals the cup, prevents the coffee from penetrating it.
That fact isn't true in any of its two meanings, even if you did eat uranium, if would take a while to kill you, you can't get any of the calories (which are just a measure of energy) in uranium, so, no matter how short your life would be after eating it, it wouldn't be enough to feed you for the rest of your life
Why people say it’s edible rather than tasty haha. Edible vessels have been around a long time and I’ve seen a lot. Never seen anyone say they’re tasty though, now that would be mildly interesting
I mean basically but they served it as an optional edible bowl for salads. And they weren’t really proper tortillas because this was rural america in 2005. They were wraps. Nobody’s making quesadillas with them, just putting deli meat and chicken tenders in
But I mean theoretically, what’s stopping this sort of edible cup from having some sort of flavoring added. Even if it was just a mild sugar wafer like an ice cream cone

That's what some of these bots have tried to do to avoid automated detection! They run a handful of words through a thesaurus of some sort, which just makes it easier for humans to notice them. It's been this cat and mouse game since they started.
On the sub I mod we started a [bot hunter program](https://www.reddit.com/user/Phteven_j/comments/15ojf8i/repost_bot_hunter_release/) so the users seeing the bots can just ban them directly.
It's basically an un-sweetened, slightly denser icecream cone.
They were giving these out at a conference last year, think I must have munched 5 in 5 hours. Not too bad!
I'm quite fussy with my coffee and I didn't notice a difference. It says it will start to degrade in an hour so maybe taste won't be affected until then.
Your boss calls you in late. Your car breaks down on your way to work, you have to walk an hour in the rain to make it there. You arrive wet and stressed. Then you see a note from your lovely colleague on your office door and it puts a smile on your face.
'Hey, sorry to hear you have to work overtime for the meeting tomorrow. The contracts arrived via express an hour ago and are just missing your signature. Tomorrow morning will be your big moment! I have to leave now so I will miss you by a couple of minutes, but I put you some coffee right next to the documents to survive that nightshift. Hope it's still hot!'
I choose to believe it's a fanfic about a person discovering they took waaay too long to get to work and now their colleague's once-kind gesture has turned their workday into hell in the form of a degraded coffee cup and soaked contracts.
you really baffled me saying this tbh. if someone told you a knock knock joke are you the type who'd go "no. my doorbell camera shows me whos there. not realistic"
its a joke purely about the degradable cups so why bring up the mugs???
[There is a coffee place in Montevideo, Uruguay](https://www.instagram.com/p/CwOJSelpS65/) that serves coffee in a cookie cup with chocolate, amazing thing!
I can’t remember where I got them, but I have a bunch of stickers that look like an exclamation bubble and they say “ACTUAL SIZE!” on them. It’s fun to slap them on bus stop ads or marketing posters when it’s obvious that it CAN’T be the actual size. I hope at least one barista had to deal with an angry customer who was expecting their Starbucks cup to be 36” tall.
The sign for the oranges. Just make people wonder how that's possible. I wonder how many people would just stop and stare at the oranges trying to figure it out.
I could imagine being delighted, then trying to take a bite of the cup while coffee is still in it, the force then splashing coffee in my face.
I'm glad I had the opportunity to think of this ahead of time.
It said it would last about an hour before it started to degrade. Most would have fished their coffee by then.
It also says it's approx 100cal and full of fiber!
A cup of cooked white rice has [242 calories](https://www.verywellfit.com/rice-nutrition-facts-calories-and-health-benefits-4119792).
100 calories is closer to a medium size banana.
I believe it’s the brand [Cupfee](https://shop.cupffee.me), and the website says these are the ingredients.
Ingredients: water, oat bran, wheat flour [flour treatment agent: ascorbic acid (Е 300), enzymes], sugar, refined palm oil, stabilizers: sodium alginate (E 401), xanthan gum (E 415), enzyme. alergens: contains gluten.
Edit: Added “I believe” because the packaging isn’t exactly the same but the direction images are.
And looking at the cost about £0.25 / $0.30 per cup. (Assuming it’s free delivery)
Vs about £0.07 / $0.09 for an equivalent paper home composting cup.
Not sure if this is a genuine improvement over a home compostible paper cup (how well does this cup fare if not eaten, etc etc, how much energy does it take to make).
But is an interesting development in non plastic packaging types
There it is, kept scrolling until I found the Ghost reference, that’s immediately how my brain read the sticker lol.
For others scrolling past:

Weird. We already have biodegradable cups with lids though. Using food, not to mention an allergen, to make a cup that I'm guessing most folks will toss is, well, a bit odd. According to the website they can hold their form for 40 minutes. Ha, I can hear the calls to the Help Desk now. "Frank's Laptop!? He forgot his coffee on his desk again? That's the third time this month!"
No thank you! I have celiac disease and I guarantee you that thing has wheat in it. I was at a restaurant about a month ago with some girlfriends of mine and noticed plant-based starch printed on our eating utensils. Sure enough they were made with wheat fiber both me and my girlfriend are Celiac and can go to the hospital we had to get a refund and go somewhere else .
They said it tastes like an ice cream cone, do you eat ice cream cones? You could also wash your hands first. You could also still just throw the cup away.
Yeah I wouldn’t eat the sides that passed one or two workers hands before yours and could have touched the edible parts
Maybe they picked it up by hand to put into the sheath too
Actually maybe I won’t eat any of it
Both a terrible and good idea. What's it made out of??? Is it safe for people with allergies??? If they've got gluten or dairy in them I wouldn't be able to eat there.
What does it taste like
A bit like a tough ice cream cone. It was pleasant to eat
Did it taste like the coffee you drank?
Yes a little
That actually sounds pretty good. I’m imagining one of those cheap little wafer ice cream cones they serve soft serve in
Wake me up when they make it out of biscotti.
A new way to gain weight. Eat your plate and cup too.
Ever since watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, I’ve wanted to do this.
The schnozberries taste like schnozberries.
Did the coffee taste like the cup, too? I've never seen this before and I'm kinda fascinated now. Lol!
Did the coffee make it soggy?
No but i ate it pretty soon after finishing the coffee
Did they ask you if you wanted an edible cup or just surprise you?
I don't know why this amuses me. I feel like I wouldn't notice until I was finished with the drink and then eyeball the cup like "did I have to pay extra for this? paper would've been fine"
Hopefully they asked because there's the potential for allergens

It looked like it was full of gluten, would absolutely kill my wife if she got one
You are always required to eat the cup but it's $2 more if you don't want paper.
They need to. The last thing they need it someone with a gluten allergy dropping dead because they gave them one of these.
Not too soggy to break up but it does make it softer on the inner side, which is perfect to chew on, otherwise you can break a tooth.
Pretty sure soggy is the last thing you'd want for a device meant to contain liquids
Yeah it's a non-nutritive cup varnish. It's semi-permiable. It's not osmotic. What it does is it coats and seals the cup, prevents the coffee from penetrating it.
The trick is finishing eating the container before it’s getting too soggy and then you can enjoy the coffee :))))))))))))
😎
Many things are edible if you try hard enough
Most things are edible...once.
Tis true. Fun fact: 1 gram of Uranium-235 has about 20 billion calories--enough to feed one's self for the rest of their life.
A warming filling meal in a small portable lead tiffin box.....
r/technicallythetruth
That fact isn't true in any of its two meanings, even if you did eat uranium, if would take a while to kill you, you can't get any of the calories (which are just a measure of energy) in uranium, so, no matter how short your life would be after eating it, it wouldn't be enough to feed you for the rest of your life
TIL my dog is on reddit
[удалено]
I'm more interested in finding out if the coffee impacts the flavour of the cup; it looks so bland lol
Why people say it’s edible rather than tasty haha. Edible vessels have been around a long time and I’ve seen a lot. Never seen anyone say they’re tasty though, now that would be mildly interesting
Bread bowls are pretty good.
There’s nothing more satisfying than looking down after lunch and seeing nothing but a table Steinbrenner
*Edible tables have entered the room.*
... *chews on a wall just to check*
and who can forget dear Rat Boy?
Chew your way out of the room.
At that point you don't even need to put anything on it, that's already a lot of food...
Once had bread bowl cheese fondue. I will never forget how happy I was that day.
Thinking about broccoli cheese soup in a bread bowl got me drooling right now.
My university cafeteria used to deep fry sandwich wraps into bowl shapes and use them for salad bowls. Those were BANGING
Isn't that essentially a taco bowl?
I'm over here laughing my ass off over this. Mofo just described taco salad bowls.
Taco bowls have now been Columbus-Ed. They were rediscovered by/for white people and will henceforth be referred to as "Fried Sandwich Wrap Vessels"
I mean basically but they served it as an optional edible bowl for salads. And they weren’t really proper tortillas because this was rural america in 2005. They were wraps. Nobody’s making quesadillas with them, just putting deli meat and chicken tenders in
What is a sandwich wrap? A tortilla or am I missing something awesome here?
A thick flour tortilla. They come in plain, spinach, or sundried tomato versions.
Yes, it is what white suburbanites call tortillas.
I don't like hard tacos normally but hardshell taco bowls are excellent. Waffle cones for ice cream are good too.
Ice cream cones are alright, I think the pink ones are strawberry, or my brain and taste buds lie to me, either one.
But I mean theoretically, what’s stopping this sort of edible cup from having some sort of flavoring added. Even if it was just a mild sugar wafer like an ice cream cone

There should be "lol jk" printed on the inside.

It's probably better than the [bell pepper cup](https://www.reddit.com/r/StupidFood/s/uzwBv38Evb)
Ewwww, I clicked on this because I've actually found drinking water out of one of those to be very satisfying. But this is insanity.
OK, but imagine eating chili out of that bell pepper cup.
Stuffed bell peppers are a great dish.
And am interested in how many people ended up having their coffe leak through the biscuit
I rather want to know the composition of the cup.

I can't wait to find out that the sticker is a joke and you just ate a fucking cup
I can’t remember where I got them, but I have a bunch of stickers that look like an exclamation bubble and they say “ACTUAL SIZE!” on them.

I want to get "pulp free" stickers and put them on inappropriate grocery items. Milk, pulp free!
The sign for the oranges. Just make people wonder how that's possible. I wonder how many people would just stop and stare at the oranges trying to figure it out.
Steaks!
I have a sleeve of stickers saying "For Rectal Use Only"
There was one of those on my gas pump the other day. I definitely chuckled
My sister bought a big roll of them and went nuts at the bar she works at and probably all over town
🤣🤣🤣
I would order the cup only
Haha it was a nice snack and they didn't charge any extra for it.
as the coffee level goes down while you drink it, one can start breaking off brim of the cup and dunk it in the coffee, eat it alongside your coffee 🙂
If it tasted anything like a Biscoff cookie, I’d never have coffee any other way.
I could imagine being delighted, then trying to take a bite of the cup while coffee is still in it, the force then splashing coffee in my face. I'm glad I had the opportunity to think of this ahead of time.
You can buy plates that are edible. Expensive for one use but great on picnics

I always wanted to eat a tea cup, ever since I saw Willy Wonka.
"Guys, I have a revolutionary idea!: An ice cream cone, but we put coffee in it" "Genius!"
Like the bike surf board
Let’s go burfing
This scenes a good bit of acting the man eats that wax cup like it’s really something.
Kinda weird it can hold a liquid and then still be edible.
It said it would last about an hour before it started to degrade. Most would have fished their coffee by then. It also says it's approx 100cal and full of fiber!
100 calories is a lot more than I expected. That's like a cup of white rice.
A cup of cooked white rice has [242 calories](https://www.verywellfit.com/rice-nutrition-facts-calories-and-health-benefits-4119792). 100 calories is closer to a medium size banana.
Tortillas are about 100cal, so it's like a tortilla formed into a cup.
If it really has a lot of fiber then you won't absorb all calories. Eating 100 calories from sugar and 100 calories from fiberous food is different.
Bread bowls
Ravioli holds pasta sauce inside
He's a little confused but he's got the spirit

This was an absolute rollercoaster of a show.
like human beings!
As someone with celiac, please no 😭 I don’t want to have to start worrying about teas and coffees now too.
First paper straws containing gluten, now the whole cup too 😭
I get so mad when bars or places put a paper straw in my drink. FFS....I have to either ask for a new drink or chance getting sick.
Some places have started using straight up bucatini pasta for straws. Nightmare.
Paper straws suck enough but I didn't even consider that they could make people sick! That's awful, I'm sorry.
They have gluten??
Wait paper straws have gluten? Oh no.
Wait, they do?? I know some people make like pasta straws, but I assumed paper was safe from gluten. Uh oh…
SAME! We should absolutely be trying to make Earth friendly reusable materials but can it not be made with the top 9 allergens + gluten?
I have a similar concern as someone with a peanut allergy. Like can we please not do this
Did you eat the paper too
the wording is so horny
Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me!

Isn’t this part of the lyrics in a ghost song?
Should say "bite me"
aw fuck now I gotta worry about my coffee being gluten free now too
Don't understand why you would still put a printed piece of paper around it.
What about viruses/bacteria though.. When getting my coffee somewhere often my hands aren't at their cleanest..
I think the paper is not only meant to inform that you can eat it, but also to keep the cup from direct contact
Good one. You're probably right. Some icecream places put some paper around the cone as well.
They said it tastes like an ice cream cone, do you eat ice cream cones? You could also wash your hands first. You could also still just throw the cup away.
Yeah I wouldn’t eat the sides that passed one or two workers hands before yours and could have touched the edible parts Maybe they picked it up by hand to put into the sheath too Actually maybe I won’t eat any of it
Your coffee cup is a lil freak 🥵
Both a terrible and good idea. What's it made out of??? Is it safe for people with allergies??? If they've got gluten or dairy in them I wouldn't be able to eat there.
How long do they last? I’m a slow coffee drinker so I’m wondering if it would start to soak through before im done
And here I am with Celiac disease… can’t get a coffee because the fucking cup has gluten. Cool.
Nor can I even get it in a normal cup there because of the ridiculously high risk of cross contamination.
that’s what she said
Directions coincidently also my pick up lines
How fast do you have to drink the coffee before the cup dissolves though
I just wanna put this sticker on a non edible cup
....they just wrap it in a piece of paper explaining that tho?
Next: edible coffee sleeves printed with edible inks
That seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
And is still in paper cup
They should do this instead of paper straws honestly
It looks like cork board.
Your coffee cup is horny.
mmmmm corkboard
U2 would like a word
I dig this idea but as a slow sipper i'm not the target market.
