Glow-In-The-Dark Jellyfish Ice Cream!! $225/Scoop







Second Scoop: Would you eat glow-in-the-dark jellyfish ice cream?

When the power goes out, your thoughts immediately turn to two things: Finding a flashlight and figuring out how to eat all the ice cream in your freezer before it melts. Now, an ice cream mad scientist in Britain has combined those two dilemmas by creating an ice cream that glows in the dark because it’s made with luminescent jellyfish proteins.
The ice cream, which doesn’t taste like jellyfish (we’re actually not sure what flavor it is), glows brighter when you lick it due to the reaction between the jellyfish protein and temperature and pH of your tongue.
The glowing treat’s creator, an award-winning food inventor named Charlie Francis, insists that it’s safe to eat. “I tried some,” said Francis, “and I don’t seem to be glowing anywhere.” Because jellyfish protein is somewhat expensive, a single scoop of Francis’ frosty invention sells for about $225.
Francis is the co-founder of the U.K. ice cream shop “Lick Me I’m Delicious,” which is known for its assortment of funky ice cream flavors. Also on the menu is roast beef ice cream, horseradish and Yorkshire pudding ice cream, lamb and mint ice cream, and cheddar cheese ice cream. Up next for the Lick Me team is an invisible ice cream (they’re looking for a few magicians who can help make that happen) and the hottest ice cream in the world.
Assuming you don’t mind spending $225 for a scoop of the bright jellyfish ice cream, the next natural question is, would you try it?

    OH MY GOSH NO……….WHO COMES UP WITH THESE THINGS AT TURKEY HILL? THIS IS A BIG YUCK.
  7. Michael F says:
    Why not sounds interesting. However, I could put the $225 to better use.
  8. Truthfully, I’d rather not try it.
  9. caroline of Manalapan says:
    Hubby & I do not like the idea of jellyfish in out ice cream. If the power is off for a long period we prefer to have a big, very big dish of our TH to bide the time.
  10. Bob Kessler Jr says:
    No where does it mention the taste of this glow in the dark ice cream – only that it doesn’t taste like jellyfish so what does it taste like? I think I’ll spend my $225 elsewhere.
  11. mylinda beach says:
    if i could afford it, i’d try it but i’ll never be able to afford it.
  12. Robin Ames says:
    Sure, I’d try it. I’d talk to the proprietor about the exorbitant price and see if I could get it down to a manageable sum, though.
  13. I’ll pass on that lol. Even IF I could afford a scoop, not too sure about consuming jellyfish proteins.
  14. Sheila says:
    No way! Just give me some TH ice cream!!
  15. JEAN FRANCIS says:
    I would try it but not at that price!!
  16. Sue says:
    I was mulling over whether or not I would actually try Glow in the Dark ice cream but once I saw that price,, that made my decision easy,,, NO, I wouldn’t! I can’t believe it would taste good anyhow,, made of jellyfish protein! Yuck!
  17. Joan says:
    No thanks. I like my Turkey Hill just the way it is: delicious.
    Don’t worry, I’ll find it in my freezer, even without lights.
  18. My brain would not let me. Ice cream doesn’t glow in the dark. Just to strange.
  19. Lois says:
    Sure I’d try it – if someone else was buying!!!
  20. Mary Anne Powell says:
    Don’t think I’d give it a try. Like to know what I’m eating and the price is way too high!!!
  21. This does not appeal to me at all.
  22. Janet Dietrick says:
    no!
  23. JANET says:
    need a loan for a scoop ,no thanks . also not interested in eating jellyfish proteins.
  24. Harriet G. says:
    I would try a free sample of it.
  25. Amy says:
    Interesting, but no thanks!
  26. Ann King says:
    If today was April first, I might have said “Are you kidding me?” but it is not so I guess this is for real. I think I will pass on this one. I try to stay away from anything artificial which is what this sounds like. I will stick to my Turkey Hill favorites and skip the jellyfish ice cream.
  27. Sarah says:
    Sounds like fun but the price will only make it novelty!
  28. Karen says:
    No, I would not taste this bizarre concoction. How about an article on long lost dairy bars? People could describe how ice cream of yester, (and near yester)day tasted and felt on the tongue.For example, where did restaurants of the past (and a few current)get that wonderful chocolate ice cream with the ice crystals in it?
  29. sheila says:
    oh my that would be so cool to eat glow in the dark icecream!!! as long as it taste like any of your other flavors!!!!! I so would eat it!!!!
  30. Marie says:
    I don’t think so. I will use my flashlight to find the TH ice cream. I have PLENTY of BATTERIES. Don’t want ANYTHING to ruin my Turkey Hill.
  31. lee carr says:
    it does not look like ice cream
    but if it tastes like ice cream
    I will eat it
  32. Carol says:
    I would definitely try it – just to see it glow when I picked it!
  33. Jim in SOMD says:
    NO! Jelly fish sting and I would not want a jelly fish sting on my tongue. There is also the part about taste. There is no discussion about what flavors and how does it taste. Get that information and the insurance that there is no sting from the jelly fish protein. Then I might consider eating this. If it was a free sample, not a $225 ice cram cone.
