Imagine you are invited for a crazy dinner where you are served with delicious pizza that is stuffed in a cone. While the sandwiches resemble a scanned copy, your wine glass has consumed a complete bottle of wine and what’s more bizarre is that you have to choose between a twirling fork and an edible one, to feast on the scrumptious pasta. But, before feasting on this weird dinner, you are asked to put on edible nail paint. What would you do? Now, besides that edible spoon idea, all sound weird. And, if Einstein was in your place, he would have fainted saying WTF! And so is the world saying to these strange edible innovations.
With technology and innovation, inventions today are really unbelievable. People are making anything and everything that pops up in their head. One such idea popped up in the US fast food company KFC’s innovative brain which will soon hit the market in the form of KFC nail paint.

Now, who eats or licks their nail paint? Eww... and even if we ever did this that was in our toddler days, when we licked and ate anything when momma was not around. But, the brand has gone aboard with their “finger licking motto” and ensured that these nail paints are edible and taste like a juicy chicken. Yummm.. now that sounds interesting as this may suffice the cravings of chicken gourmets, but what about the veggies? Also, these nail paints would be safe to lick or consume, but will come with a five-day validity and one time use restriction. Now, would one buy these nail paints just to live up to the idea of having an edible nail paint to lick? And if anybody did give a thought on buying it, then would they afford this costly product which would merely last for 5 days? Dude, who has all the free time in the worlf to sit and paint those nails every day just for the licking fantasy? I would rather buy a popcorn chicken. Lastly, we just hope KFC doesn’t launch a paneer flavoured nail paint for the vegetarians.

But, sometimes the weird also makes sense and one such invention does have an important motto behind its edibility.

Well, somewhere in our country itself, one crazy head Narayana Peesapati, wanted to protect people from the harmful effects of consuming plastic. So this man sold his two houses and set up a company that makes edible cutleries. Bakey’s Foods Private Limited manufactures spoons, forks and chopsticks that can be eaten post dinner. Boasting of his company being the world’s first such manufacturer, Narayan’s initiative has been welcomed in the West too.

Now, I’m not saying we Indians are genius or we still come from the old school of making useful things that are equally unconventional. But at least we channelize our creativity in a useful venture.

To beat us, there is an edible perfume that has been designed such that it will not only soothe you with its aroma but also you can it sip it like an edible drink. Like seriously? This is what I was talking about when I mentioned waste of innovation and money!! Now, just to taste that flavour, do I need to buy that expensive perfume when we already have the market full with drinks hot and cold? The idea sounds senseless.
Well if the big brands take some lessons from people like Narayan, then they could use their good will for making and promoting products that are really worth the money. If Narayan can sell his house for the benefit of society, we hope KFC makes more healthy chicken and not nail paints. We need food to benefit us and not a licking fantasy.
