Plastic bottles are one of the biggest problems facing the environment right now.
But this could be the answer to our problems. Vice is reporting that London’s Skipping Rocks Lab have crowdfunded £605k in two days to undergo mass production of miniature edible water blobs, which have the excellent name ‘Ooho!’
