What would the Earth taste like if you licked it?
Design of an Earth-shaped salt candy.
About 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by oceans. If you could shrink the Earth down and put it in your mouth, it might taste salty.
This candy, inspired by such playful, child-like imagination, also aims to evoke thoughts of real-world issues, such as pollutants and marine debris flowing into the oceans. The candy serves as a reminder to strive for oceans that, when imagined as a taste, would be delightful.
