It seems like we've been waiting forever to finally get the future that was promised to us — a future of zippy flying cars, silver clothing, soft dong robots, and of course, receiving all of our food in pellet and blob form. Now, startup Skipping Rocks Lab is finally making Ooho!, a water-bottle alternative that's basically an edible blob made out of algae. "Finally, I can have my water and eat it too!" you might say if you were trying really hard to make the whole "have your cake and eat it too" thing work.
The goal of Ooho! is to reduce waste from one-time-use water bottles, and it recently won a European Union sustainability award. It's easy to see how these would be great for reducing water bottle waste, as well as how they would be great for creating a pile of oversized fake fish eggs if you were shooting a movie where you needed giant fish eggs (look, don't question my art, OK?).
You can see Ooho! in action in this video where they, for some reason, decided to use an all-white background, rendering the blob invisible about half the time:
