Sweetening your beverage has never been cooler or more macabre, than with the Sugar Skull Spoon. The unique scooping utensil provides the perfect way to eat your cereal — or to sweeten your coffee, tea, or absinthe.
If you’re into that sort of thing. Tea, we mean… Who drinks tea anymore?
The Sugar Skull Spoon is available The Foodiggity Shop.
Snow globes… They’re fun, whimsical, and entertaining for about thirty seconds. However, the snow globe concept often leads to brilliant design and products such as The Sugar House.
Designed to look like a classic snow globe, the sugar bowl can be filled with your favorite sweetener and look as though the house is being snowed on. After your thirty seconds of fun are up, use the bowl for your coffee, or anything that could use a little sweetnin’.

News flash… Energy and soft drinks, even the ones that are supposed to be “good for you,” contain an obscene amount of sugar. And, there may be no better way to illustrate this point, than to represent the soft drink sugar in lollipop form.
Artist Henry Hargreaves is up to the task, with his project (de)hydrate. Hargreaves started by boiling the soft drinks down, until only the sugary remnants remained. The sugary mixture is then poured into molds, labeled with the drink name, and impaled on a lolli-stick.
Even Vitamin Water, when all of the drink’s asserted health benefits are taken away, is nothing more than a giant sucker. See more below.

Artist Massimo Gammacurta works brilliantly with many different mediums. But his most interesting and enticing work appears to be in candy.
Enter, Kamasugar — a series of sugar sculptures formed into a number of sex positions. A stick is inserted [hee-hee] into the vibrantly-colored sculptures, making them the most erotic lollipops possible. NSFW lollies below.

Boring old sugar cubes just don’t seem appropriate this time of year. Get into the Halloween spirit while sweetening your beverage with Skull-Shaped Sugar.
Available in a mix of white and black skulls — either of which will look great on your sugar spoon. Especially if said spoon is also shaped like a skull. So meta.
