Apple users, are you prone to losing your AirPods? Well, you’d be forgiven if these ones disappear… into your belly, that is. MSCHF—the Brooklyn-based art pranksters famed for their over-the-top launches like Satan Shoes, Astro Boy-like red boots, bootleg movies, and giant, single-serve Fruit Loop—is grooving to the tune of minty-fresh with its new ‘Candy AirPods’.
Given out as invites for the collective’s upcoming show, the edible “earbuds” are now available on its website too. Each box, complete with an unboxing experience and packaging resembling that of the Cupertino tech giant, comes with two pieces “ergonomically fitted to your ears.” You should pop them into your mouth, though, as these are “for eating” only.

Crafted with precision, the visually indistinguishable “AirPods” are made up of isomalt, water, natural and artificial flavors, and food coloring. They’re GMO-free, fat-free, and allergen-free, and manufactured in a nut-free facility.

And while they won’t blast fresh tracks, they’re a breath of fresh air. Or, rather, they’ll leave your breath feeling fresh, thanks to their minty flavor.
At US$50, they’re not as pricey as regular AirPods, but the absence of features—like noise cancellation or even just the ability to listen to music—is so loud it can be heard from a mile away. At least these buds are only 10 calories a pair. Virtually sweet nothings.

These don’t travel as well as your run-of-the-mill audio gadgets, and as such can only be delivered within the continental US.
