An impressively weird dessert washes ashore in New Zealand
An ice cream shop in Auckland, New Zealand is taking the burgeoning goth dessert trend to new heights by serving a giant chocolate-dipped cone with a mantle and menacing tentacles protruding from the top of creamy sphere. The chef at Giapo Kitchen thought that this undeniably phallic treat would be a nice way to commemorate the 10th anniversary of The Colossal Squids arrival at the Museum of Te Papa Tongarewa. Heres a clip of the chocolate tentacles being inserted into the cone after its dipped:
The squid dessert is just as spooky as the charcoal ice cream cones that started infiltrating Instagram feeds around New York and Los Angeles last year, but the New Zealand treat gets bonus creep-out points for being humongous, unwieldy, and disturbingly sexual.
These desserts are a refreshing counterpoint to the glittery, rainbow-colored theatrics of the Lisa Frankenfoods trend. Long may they reign.

Looks delicious, but too labor-intensive to prepare.

What kind of food has teeth? Most of it, unless it grows in the ground.
It is usually removed during processing though.

“Rebellious food.”
It isn’t the Erotic Squid Food, that’s for sure.

Those are not herring teeth.
More like Reptilicus.

They should make one out of the material Peeps are made out of. That would be evil.
