Hmmm...I would give an "A" for attempt but "are you serious?" for the product.
Here are five reasons why it is a bad idea.
1. It will probably cost more and more likely to be energy intensive given the processing, meaning I am not sure if it is helping the environment much.
2. Most people have bad hand hygiene. Yes, they don't wash their hands. And now you can eat the cup that is infested with your germs. I will expect more sick people from eating edible cups.
3. You will have more food waste. I doubt people will eat the whole cup given that the bottom is touching an unclean surface.
4. There will be people who leave the cup on their table or desk forgetting that they are edible and will surely attract ants and other insects.
5. Aren't we getting too much sugar already? For sure, this will increase sugar intake of people, more obesity and diabetes.
I think a better idea would be to encourage usage of reusable cups/ mugs through lower prices or create cups that decompose quickly as soon as they are soaked with water (breakdown within a year).
