Lickable Wallpaper: Jaffa Cakes Installs Tasty Treat In London Elevator

Posted: 04/13/2012 5:05 pm Updated: 04/13/2012 5:09 pm

Lickable Wallpaper

The concept of lickable wallpaper is nothing new, thanks to Willy Wonka. But it hasn't exactly spread like wildfire. After all, what about all those germs?

Individuals at a communications building in London are in fact the first to experience lickable wallpaper on an elevator (or lift, if you're British). Exactly 1,325 lickable McVities Jaffa Cakes were recently installed on on the elevator's walls. It took food technicians and artists four weeks to develop.

“We are all about bringing a bit more fun to life and this was the perfect way to get a little joy straight to stressed out office workers,” Philippa Tilley, Senior Brand Manager from McVitie¹s Jaffa Cakes, told The Drum.

And, if you are worried about those germs, don't fear -- once a Jaffa Cake is licked, it is removed from the wall.

Check out some eager elevator lickers below, from the Jaffa Cakes Facebook page:

"once a Jaffa Cake is licked, it is removed from the wall."

That's nice. I'm still going to take a pass.

Someone actually came up with this idea and someone actually paid for it to be done. Now some people are actually going to travel to that building to lick an elevators walls.

Somebody, please actually make it stop !

If you read the article, they replace the cakes once they've been licked, so that's not really a problem. *S*

I just don't wanna be giving it a try on the guy who does the replacement is sick *giggle*

If you for one moment think I'm going to put my tongue on a place where other people have licked it, you're out of your mind. No, that doesn't include sex.

Sometimes just because we "can" do something doesn't mean we should.

Ewwwwwww.

Disgusting, gross, unhygienic, breeding ground for mutant virus, call the health department ASAP! Doesn't seem a lot of thought went in to the potential health risks of this less than brilliant idea.
