Jello Cup, For Real
On June 26th, the Gowanus Studio Space hosted the 2nd annual Jell-O Mold competition in Brooklyn, New York. The competition encouraged artists, designers, chefs, and lovers of Jell–O to use gelatin in new and unexpected ways. A company called The Way We See The World won for sculptural/structural integrity with Jelloware – a set of delicious, squishy, colorful glasses.
Jelloware re-imagines the concept of drinking, and imparts a new experience in the way it feels, tastes, smells, moves, and is even disposed of. The cups are made entirely out of agar agar and cast in different flavors, such as lemon-basil, ginger-mint, or rosemary-beet. All are specifically designed to compliment a corresponding drink. Jelloware is meant to be thrown into the grass after it is used, as agar agar is a seaweed extract and actually nurtures the growth of plants.

The model’s mustache dominates the image… As for the product, I would try it once; success depends on how good it tastes…

What a bitchy thing to say. Holy cow. Lighten up. The glasses are a great idea. Maybe they won’t be as great as they look, and maybe they won’t bring about world peace, but give these guys credit — without being snarky — for coming up with a really cool idea.

AWESOME! Although beets don’t sound very good for drinks. >_>;;;

Interesting proof of concept.
I have a few questions of resiliency.
How long do they last?
How stable are they on different surfaces?
What types of drinks can go in it, hot, cold, acidic, carbonated?
Yuuta says
Entirely out of agar agar? Like, almost 100% pure agar agar with perhaps colouring and no other additive/stabilizer/whatever?
Then the cup would be rather slimey. And given my experience with cooking with agar agar, it’s should not be as flexible as in the pictures.
If it’s agar agar, why not make the cup edible instead of throwing it on the grass? (seaweed is good for you) Agar agar does not simply melt and break down without significant heat or other processing. It’s more likely to be eaten by curious animals if left lying on the grass.
And it would be nice if they weren’t made for specific drinks.

If they can’t stand up to beer pong, they’re of no use to me.

Please, tell us how to make these. I teach vegan cooking classes to kids in Inner city in Los Angeles, and this would be great!
