Nov 21 2009Food For Thought Your Feet: Bread Shoes
They're slippers. They're made out of bread. You can wear them then eat them. But you won't, because that's disgusting. I jest, knowing you you probably will. Freak. Just remember to take them off first.
Martynas Birskys of the Vilnius-based design studio DaDaDa sells slippers made out of bread. For your comfort, you can select from various sizes and grains. It's hard to argue with his sales pitch "eatable...dries itself... made from bread...first in fashion...needs no pressing...feels good in dry climate ...won't sag."
Tipster crystal noted these would probably go great with a little -- wait for it -- wait for it -- toe jam. I get it! I get it! you're trying to steal my job.

Thanks crystal, BUT I'VE GOT MY EYE ON YOU.

H.R. Giger already did it, 30 years ago. Humanity sometimes did go back to the past to relive ideas, but in these times we´re just fucking robbers.

Damnit, someone beat me to a "loaf-ers" comment.

@8, good link :o) remember you had a good trans met link the other day... you're cool.

Crummy shoes, and they cost so much dough that only upper-crust flakes will wear em. Still they'd keep your feet toasty when they're bran new.
Think I'll make some for my honey bun. Show off my rye sense of humor. That'll butter her muffin. Better than giving her flours.

OK I can't believe noone posted this yet - Its actually the other way round. The idea for the bread shape came 'from' the slipper, which when translated into Italian is is Ciabatta!

Bread condoms are scratchy after a few hours.

With so much hunger going on in the world, people wear food as clothing. Crap, If they aren't going to eat them, at least ferment them into fuel!

My girlfriend and I used to use those but she kept getting "yeast" infections....
22. Fae - November 23, 2009 11:19 AM
Surely you'll get a yeast infectiion on your feet?
23. Kilroy - November 23, 2009 6:48 PM
Really?
I wonder if they taste good with...
...wait for it...
Toe Jam?
