Cookie Cup

As I was sipping tea this morning, I found this on the internet: Cookie cups - using cookie as a material for tableware. Sip the coffee then eat the cup! Saves a lot of washing up! Love the idea.

This cookie cup was the creation of a Venezuelan designer named Enrique Luis Sardi which was made for Lavazza, the famous Italian coffee company. It’s so ingenius – he made it using a cookie for the outside and a special patented sugar icing on the inside. Dual purpose – it creates an insulator for the cookie and add sweetness to the coffee! 

What's more, they sell a version that is lined with chocolate, ain't that hot? This is the kinda coffee that should be served in a proper material library. :) Here's a photograph of the designer himself, even he's hot:
