One of the competition ground rules is that video entries must follow the loose guideline of including “candy”.
Candy-flavoured clothes? It’s a little off the wall, but bring food into any equation and it’s bound to be better… Or is it?
Here are some weird things you can eat. (If you’re really, really hungry that is.)
1. Dancing squid
Pouring soy sauce on a recently-prepared raw squid makes the squid dance. The sodium in the soy sauce reacts with the still-active cells to make everything get jiggy and disgusting.
Hakarl is an Icelandic dish consisting of sleeper shark cured in a hole covered with sand and stones, then hung to dry for months. Icelandic buried shark is commonly acknowledged as an “acquired taste”.
These are handmade, artisan-created solid white chocolate baby heads. We’ll pass.
10. Tayto chocolate
You might think we can poke fun at Icelandic and Japanese delicacies (not to mention Americans and their bacon fetish) but we’re just as bad. Ireland gave the world Tayto chocolate bars. How could they ever forgive us?
There you have it. The grossest food going. Entries for candy-inspired clothing concoctions for The You Generation competition open until the 11th of May.
Is there anything you just would not eat? Well, why not throw it on a T-shirt and call yourself a stylist?

This is, however, a delicacy in Japan.

This might be hard for some of you to accept, but think about it. Eating paper is gross.
8. Bread heads

A baker in Thailand bakes his bread in the shape of human body parts. The very thing to bring along to the next dinner party you’re invited to!
