Welcome to the future, I guess. Here we have a product that is disposable but so eco friendly if you throw it away it helps plants grow while also being edible. New York-based design consultancy The Way We See The World has developed disposable cups called Jelloware made of agar agar, a gelatin derived from algae and used as an ingredient in desserts.

The cups are cast in flavors like lemon-basil, ginger-mint, or rosemary-beet to compliment the flavor of your drink while enhancing your drinking experience through touch, taste and smell. When you’re done you can toss the cups in the grass afterward.

Seems like a cool idea, but I would think using it as a cup then fertilizer would be it for me. You run into an issue of sanitation like this one. I don’t see myself eating this afterward. Do you?
