I wanted to make some paper-mâché with my son, but couldn't find any balloons. So we used apples. A few weeks later we were out of fruit and I threw one of the paper-mâché apples in my bag and went to work.
The paper gave a thick protective coating to the apple, was easy to peel, was very recyclable,
and the apple was fresh and healthy underneath the paper. Plus it was brightly colored and amusingly shaped (mine was a clown face with a hat). Add a paper pull for easy opening, and I think these would be easy to market as fun and well protected fruit for travel.

[Worldgineer] ! It has been a while. |
|
|
As with many things Japan is 20 years ahead of the
rest of the world in this area |
|
|
[Voice] Yeah, they've perfected the foam net, but how about the clown face? |
|
|
the english used newspaper for their chips years ago! |
|
|
actually, Americans used newspaper for fish & chips when I was a kid- really soaked up the grease!! |
|
|
The grease is the best part. Great idea [Worldgineer], here's a paper-mâché covered bun. However, an edible alternative would be most desirable, and I don't think implausible. |

I would have used paper myself. |
|
|
Works just as well for nuts... |
|
|
Isn't this what pastry is for? |
|
|
Fresh and warm from the oven. |
|
|
Worldy, say it ain't so. Yay to see you. Okay...idea: 5
apples! |
|
|
This system would make it easier to sneak a variety of items with the outer appearance of paper-mache covered apples into World's lunch. The lack of aigu might give them away, though. |
|
|
Damn. Who keeps sneaking explosives into my lunch? Now there's tomato sauce on the ceiling. |
|
|
[bliss] Like a 5-pack stuck together and easy to tear apart? Pull one off the group and throw it in my bag? I like it. |
|
|
No silly, 5 apples instead of 5 buns!!! |
