Created by Charlie Harry Francis from Bristol, England, this ice-cream, which is made of jellyfish protein, glows in the dark when licked.
Francis has worked with a company to extract this protein, which glows when it comes in contact with human saliva. The ice-cream becomes brighter when it is licked repeatedly.
However, using this technology is expensive, and it certainly shows as one scoop of this ice-cream costs approximately US$220. According to Francis, it is “four times pricier than gold”.
This ice-cream is available from Francis’ store, “Lick Me, I’m Delicious”, where you will find ice-cream made of savory foods, like roast beef and cheddar cheese.
Although some customers may think that they will end up glowing like a jellyfish, Francis denies this, stating that he has tried out the ice-cream himself without experiencing any side-effects.
The inventor is now working on an invisible ice-cream, but is facing difficulty as ice crystals refract light.
Would you have a scoop of this glow-in-the-dark ice-cream?
