Ever wondered what Che Guevara would taste like if he were an ice lolly? Probably not, but now you won’t ever need to ask, as conceptual design company Stoyn have imprisoned Che and a bunch of other characters in their range of delicious dairy desserts.
“In Revolution We ‘Lick’ or Die” - Che Guevara Channelling the rebellious spirit of Che, conceptual design company Stoyn have reincarnated some of the world’s most iconic characters in their latest range of quirky desserts. Thanks to the creative minds at the off-beat brand, you can now enjoy an indulgent, alcohol-injected ice-cream while simultaneously biting off Darth Vader’s head, licking Marilyn Monroe’s face, or tucking into a bit of Donald Duck.
Seven infamous individuals, both factual and fictional, have been imprisoned in the delicious dairy desserts. Other characters include Vladimir Mayakovsky, Mickey Mouse and the splendidly super Mario. The darkly comic ice-creams, mixing deceased figures, political icons and fictional fun, have been designed with both kids and grown-ups in mind. The lollies present a varied selection of mature, spirit-fuelled ice cream, as well as sweet, child-like flavours that will bring back memories of smiling men in musical vans.
Design is the keyword when it comes to these sweet treats, with each face meticulously sculpted by Russian designers and each flavour chosen to represent the cultural symbolism of the characters. But what flavours would you imagine each to have? Would Che taste of chillies? Would Marilyn be all peaches and cream? Well, we don’t plan to keep you under suspense for much longer - here’s what Stoyn thought each of the famous characters would taste like if all their power, will and talent were melted into a lip-licking lolly.
DARTH VADER - Mr Vader’s ice-cream head is made from a dark concoction of blueberry and licorice flavours. It’s an ice-cream with a tart, tangy twist - not unlike the man himself - so you might want to tuck in before he turns sour.
VLADIMIR MAYAKOVSKY - Well, he’s Russian, so there was bound to be a bit of vodka in there somewhere. Mayakovsky’s ice-cream bust is a refreshing fusion of cranberry and vodka - a perfect blood-coloured sculpture resembling his highly physical poetry. Not exactly a ‘Slap in the Face of Public Taste’ (the magazine where his first poetry was featured). Infact, we love the controversial lick-fest.
CHE GUEVARA - How do you bring the taste of Cuba to an ice lolly? You guessed it... lashings and lashings of Rum. The revolutionary’s ice-cream is packed with enough Rum to diddle a sailor, as well as a South American herb called Mate. It’s a member of the Holly family - a prickly, caffeinated evergreen for some extra Guevara punch.
MARILYN MONROE - Well, turns out we were almost right - Marilyn Monroe is a sweetly predictable strawberries and cream. With whipped, fluffy hair and a melting gaze, this is a deliciously creamy treat for those who want to imbibe pure Hollywood glamour.
