Even though eating your clothing is not an entirely practical idea it does have some advantages. The great news is that if you take lunch to work with you there is no need to pack a lunch box. Just eat your candy bra or whatever item of clothing you can easily do without and come home in the evening a little lighter.

What the heck is a candy bra anyway? You may have already guessed its a bra that's actually made from candy. Whoa! is that really such a neat idea I ask? There must be all kinds of concerns about hygiene and such like when you wear something that's edible as an item of clothing especially a candy bra.

I guess it's a great idea however if you take hungry at an inopportune moment like the middle of the night and your fridge is empty. You can always snack on your edible lingerie until the the shops are open again in the morning. That's all well and good if you like the taste of a candy bra but not the best idea if you are on a diet or suffer from diabetes.

Who can tell maybe it could become a trend with people eating all manner of items of clothing. You could get a real banquet out of an overcoat or a three piece suit for example. Then again I have a sneaking suspicion that there is a little more to this candy bra business and I bet you do too.

As far as edible clothing goes you wouldn't actually get much of a meal from a candy bra unless of course you are lucky to be well endowed in the upper body area. Not such good news for those anorexic stick insects that normally model all the latest lingerie though. They would probably waste away rather quickly if they relied on their candy bra for sustenance.

Then again it ads a whole new meaning to that old saying about "killing two birds with one stone" because you really can have your cake and eat it (or your bra) if you love candy. If the trend catches on we could soon be faced with edible lingerie of every imaginable flavor like pork chop panties or even chargrilled steak underpants. Lets hope sanity prevails and lingerie stays soft and silky whilst candy keeps on coming in boxes.
