Three London-based industrial design students have created the “Ooho”, an edible water bottle that looks like a blob.
It is modeled on molecular gastronomy techniques and the students claim it is biodegradable, durable, hygienic, and easy and cheap to make.
It contains water in a double membrane through “spherification”, which is the technique of shaping liquids into spheres, and is similar to how an egg yolk holds its shape.
The double membrane is made of brown algae and calcium chloride, protecting the water inside and allowing labels to be inserted between the two layers without adhesive.
