#67 Mix food and politics

I wish you were edible Che, preferably in the form of a bun.

I want to eat candy while being political.

So how about chewing gum in the form of Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela and small little pink Gandhis. Liquorice or chewing gum in the form of Hitler, Margaret Thatcher and George W. Bush, with a bitter taste.

One can proceed with other snacks. Potato chips, for example.

Che Gue Varritos, strong as hell with revolutionary dip. Is it just me getting a kick out of this? Everything else we do and listen to reflect what we think, so why not also our snacks and candy habits?

Communist Buns. The hammer and sickle in cinnamon. Or how about really dark Fascist Chocolate, 80-percent cocoa, really rough chocolate. Liberal Milkshake with freedom vermicelli.

Bonus: Once you have your brilliant idea, don’t forget to take out a patent at the Patent and Registration Office - www.prv.se

Required time: 
Two hours. You need a project plan and a prototype sketch. If you come up with anything really good, you can also add an hour to register on the Patent and Trademark Office.
Cost: 
It costs a few hundred to register a patent. But if you have a pen and paper at home and perhaps a ruler, the sketch doesn’t cost anything at all.
Cons: 
You may be ticked off when you realize someone else had an idea before you. But when you’ve established that, you can move on and try something else.
Pros: 
Imagine a place in history as the person who came up with the Che Gue Varritos. It must be much more fun than not doing it.
