Cloud-shaped sugar cubes comes with magnetic grinder to regulate your intake

People have now become more conscious about their sugar intake given that diabetes and other related diseases have become much more prevalent. There are a lot of sugar alternatives and zero-calorie sugar options out there but sometimes, you still need something more than just that. Also, these sugar cube alternatives don’t always melt in iced coffee easily so some go to syrups or powders which are not always still the best options. So a sugar cube that can dissolve in anything and is still zero calories would probably be welcomed by those still needing a little sugar in their life.

Snowy is a cloud-shaped sugar “cube” that is packaged in a jar with the term “0 Kal” so that you won’t forget that it is the healthy kind of sugar. The playful shape is not just to make it fun but it also serves a purpose if you want to use the additional feature of the jar. There’s a magnet grinder included so holding a cloud is better than just a sugar cube or ball. The grinder is there so you can control how much sugar you want to put not just in your coffee but on your other food that you want to sweeten up.

They say the sugar cloud is also easily dissolvable in iced coffee if that’s the way you want to drink your coffee that way. However whether you drop it directly in your iced coffee or you use the grinder to be able to “shred” it onto your ice and therefore dissolve quickly, that is unclear. But either way, it is a better alternative to what’s currently in the market. And being able to control how much sugar you are able to put in your drinks or food is always a good thing.

Packaging it in a see-through jar with the label of 0 Kal and Stevia clearly visible as well is also a good idea as not only is it informative, it also shows off the design of the cubes themselves. The white cover and grinder adds to the minimalist and soft look of the sugar clouds. It’s a nice piece of kitchen accessory to have in your personal kitchen or at your coffee shop.

Gaming Dice Made out of Sugar Candy: Roll Then Eat

Roll a critical hit for diabetes while you kill monsters with these edible candy tabletop gaming dice sets from Etsy shop SugarAndDiceCrafts. Each set includes one each of these seven dice: a d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20 and a d100 percentage die.

These sugary treats come in various colors and two dice sizes, regular for $15, and mini for $8 a set. You can use these to play your campaign and then eat them at the end of the night. Also, eat them whenever you roll a critical fail because they deserve it and you need vengeance. Hopefully, this works, and they don’t just melt in your hand. Of course, if they do, you could always melt yourself an Infinity Gauntlet around your hand to help with your roll. That would be badass.

My question is, why has a candy company not started mass producing these so I can buy them at the store? Willy Wonka’s game has really been slipping. Enough with the golden tickets already and get back to work rotting kids teeth you freak. Damn. Dentists are depending on you.

Have a Sweet Thanksgiving with this 25,000 Calorie Gummy Turkey

Thanksgiving is a great time to catch up with family and friends, but cooking all day long sucks if people are coming to your house. The folks at Vat19 have a way to make that cooking a little more fun, even though you might gross out some of your guests. Instead of cooking an actual bird, they made a 20-pound gummy turkey, with sides of dessert.

This entire feast is made of candy, cookies, marshmallows, and other sugary things. You thought turkey put you into a food coma. Wait until you finish this meal. Everyone will be bouncing off the walls acting like sugared up kids, especially after they bite into that 25,625 calorie turkey.

The video above shows you how they created the meal. I assume with the right recipe for gummy candy, you could serve up the same for your holiday party.
