One of the exhibits at Yahoo's Design Expo was a tasty little project from designer Erin Elliott, which was tagged as Edible Interface.

Amazingly designed lollies had photo cell cooked in candy and the interface with lollies allowed contestants race robot babies, all participant had to do was to lick as fast as they can.

Elliott was of view that we generally use our bodies to manage and organize our technology but the mouth is very responsive and receptive organ and it has strong muscles, so why not to use it to control as well.

Clever work, must say.
