We’ve seen the almighty bacon in many forms. However, it’s never been quite as jiggly and disturbing as Bacon Jello. Brought to us by Instructables user Canida – the finished product slightly resembles bacon, and will also taste like it, since the recipe calls for the real thing.
So, is it dessert? Is it breakfast? No matter, it’s bacon. Use it as you would real bacon, and prepare for the disturbing texture of gelatinous pork fat.
There’s Always Room is a new piece by one of Foodiggity’s favorite artists, Kristin Tercek. The painting is part of Tercek’s body of work, known as Cuddly Rigor Mortis, in which she draws inspiration from a fascination with handmade dolls, and the mortality of anthropomorphic fruits and vegetables.
Here, we see a few fruits diving into a refreshing pool of green Jell-O. But holding true to the theme of Cuddly Rigor Mortis — our adorable friends will surely meet an untimely end. I say, Jell-O drowning.
‘There’s Always Room’ is acrylic on wood, measures 14″ x 9.5″ x .75″, and it goes on sale this Friday, September 7th at 3pm EDT.

To help promote the Sony Xperia mobile phone, and inspired by director Wes Anderson’s Made of Imagination ads, jelly robots were hidden around the UK. But these are no ordinary jiggly bots. They were created by Bompas & Parr, and stuffed with bling.
Besides being made of super-expensive jelly, the ‘Xperiabots’ contained luxuries such as golden cogs, white truffle valves, and gemstones for eyes. Once the jelly set, the robots were worth around £6000, and whoever found them, got to keep them.

There’s always room for Jell-O. Especially when it’s condensed and folded up into a pretty crane. Brought to us by the folks at My Jello Americans [awesome!], Jello Origami is actually granulated gelatin, water, and food coloring painted over gelatin veining sheets.
