Popsicles are supposed to be yummy pleasurable treats. That is unless they’re shaped like spiky cacti and viruses.
Dangerous Popsicles are brought to us by artist Wei Li, and are meant to provide an alternate sensory experience. Even if delicious, the eater needs to get past the visual of spikes and cooties to enjoy it. Mmmm… MRSA.

House Plant Cupcakes are brought to us by Alana Jones-Mann. The creative spin on the ubiquitous cupcake are made to look like small cacti, which will be a hit with cupcake and house plant enthusiasts alike.
There’s a great tutorial on how to do your own. Deadly spikes are optional.

Once we can get past why anyone would do such a thing… Watch and cringe at the sight of competitive eater Kevin Strahle, aka L.A. Beast, attempt to eat two spiky cacti.
Out of the gate, Strahle appears to be in incredible discomfort, until he ultimately succumbs to the plant’s spikiness. More like ‘L.A. Least,’ amirite? Please watch this.
