HOWTO Make jello blood-worms

These ultra-squicky jello blood-worms are made by immersing a bundle of drinking straws in a jello/whipping cream mixture while it's setting up. Once the jello's solidified, you squeeze the "worms" out of the straws. Voila, instant ewww!

The Idea Room: Jell-O "Blood" Worms (Thanks, Tichrimo, via Submitterator)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Awesome! I, like some of boingboing’s nerdier readers, have had a Star Trek themed birthday and blood worms or gagh in Klingon were on the menu but they were not easy to execute in an interesting and cool fashion. Great idea, thanks for sharing it.

Better yet, poke the filled straws into the Giga Pudding, *then* squeeze out the ‘worms’

I think these would go just dandy with some…GIGA PUDDING!
