Lo and behold the Glow In The Dark Ice Cream (and here we thought ice cream couldn’t get weird). Charlie Francis, owner of the Lick Me I’m Delicious ice cream parlour in the United Kingdom, is the evil genius behind today’s #WTFWednesday find. Francis is an award-winning food inventor who decided to create the world’s first glowing ice cream – because, why wouldn’t he? Taking gastronomy up a notch, Francis was able to get his hands on a jellyfish protein supplier and sourced a luminescent calcium found in the protein to add to his ice cream recipe. We’re wondering if it tastes like jellyfish because we’re not sure if seafood and ice cream go…
Now the ice cream isn’t just found glowing, rather, it starts to illuminate as soon as you start licking this cold delight. For those in the market for a luminous treat, this glow in the dark ice cream is perfect for you. But be warned because it comes with a hefty price tag. At $255 a scoop (yes, that’s per scoop and not per tub!), you better not accidentally drop your cone on the sidewalk. Francis also assures us that it’s a-okay to eat. “Is it safe to eat? Well I tried some and I don’t seem to be glowing anywhere, so we’ll go with a yes for now.” This is as insane as ice cream can get… that is until Francis comes up with another mind-boggling treat! Talk about #WTF!
