    Edible Greeting Cards and 5 Other Things I Wish We Could Eat

    Edible Greeting CardsEdible Greeting CardsChocolate, cupcake, or margarita, select your flavor and eat your greeting card.

    OK, so you can't eat the entire card, it's just a little strip inside the card that you can consume. But still, a really cool idea launched by American Greetings with their line of cards called Tasties.

    "Just think, haven't you ever secretly wished you could actually taste that delicious looking piece of cake on the front of your birthday card? Well, now you can literally have your cake and eat it, too," touts a spokesperson from the company.

    It's one of those ideas that makes you wonder why no one thought of it before, which got me thinking about all the other things I wish we could eat ...

    1. Parking Tickets Sure, you'd still have to fork over the cash, but at least the financial bite would be a bit sweeter if you could eat it.

    2. Bills I'm thinking something salty that would counter the bitter taste that forking over you hard-earned money leaves in your mouth.

    3. Grocery Store Receipts For whatever reason, I'm always famished when I leave the grocery store. How nice if they'd send you off with a little snack for the car ride home.

    4. Toilet Paper OK, gross I know, but sometimes the bathroom is the only place I get to sit down all day, so if those little squares somehow were made edible ... just a thought (that should probably never be taken any further).

    5. Junk Mail Surely if the billions of tons of junk mail were made edible, we could solve world hunger.

      Hahaha! How about wedding invitations? I have a wedding to go to every flippin weekend from June to the middle of August. It's ridiculous! Can't they be flavored like wedding cake so I can at least make a decision on which weddings to go to based on which cake will taste better? lol.

      What? No! I have no desire to turn into Taz or someTHING similar.

      Carry some snacks with you, send someone a cupcake along with b-day card, or whatever else will prevent you from looking like a crazed rageoholic that wants to tear things with teeth (fangs) or a primate who's first reaction to any new thing is to sniff it and lick it.

      Dignity, anyone?

      I agree most about the bills i am sure that the cheap glue they use for the return envelopes is cost effective but for a few cents more have some thing that tastes more palatable would be a pleasent suprise and might actually make people more willing (maybe not) to pay their bills on time.
