\"edible_insect\"<\/p>\n

What Japanese toy maker Megahouse<\/a> is offering here is truly disgusting: A toy kit that you can use to form edible insects made of juice and other liquids. The so-called GUMMI-X<\/a> [JP] is geared towards teenage boys, but it has the potential to seriously freak out certain<\/a> adults, too.<\/p>\n

Users will be able to create a total of four exotic insects and such that they can put into their meals. Choose between the stag beetle<\/a>, the Japanese rhinoceros beetle<\/a>, the especially disgusting pill bug<\/a> and the Procambarus clarkii<\/a>, a freshwater crayfish. Other animals, a frog for example, are sold separately.<\/p>\n

\"edible_insect_2\"<\/p>\n

Users can follow instructions that come with the GUMMI-X to pour liquids (for example cola or hot chocolate) into casting molds, wait a while for the gummy “insects” to stiffen and, ultimately, eat them.<\/p>\n

This stag beetle, for example, is made primarily of coffee:<\/p>\n

This is how a lunch box with one of our friends in it looks like:<\/p>\n

\"edible_insect_4\"<\/p>\n

The GUMMI-X will hit Japanese stores on February 1. The starter kit will cost around $40. Two extension kits (with two more casting molds each) will be available at the same time (price: $18 each).<\/p>\n

Ask the Japan Trend Shop<\/a> or Rinkya<\/a> if you want to get the GUMMI-X but live outside Japan.<\/p>\n
