Hey, There’s Some Corn in Your Stool

Well, now that I’ve thoroughly grossed you out with that headline, let me clarify. I’m not talking about poop. No, this article is all about the OTHER kind of stool. You know, the kind they made in Blaine, Missouri in Waiting for Guffman. But no, these aren’t any ordinary pieces of furniture. These stools look like food.

Australia’s Third Drawer Down makes these ridiculous stools that are perfect doppelgängers for edibles. They come in four different versions: partially-eaten corn on the cob, a stack of donuts, an ice cream cone, and a double cheeseburger. Coincidentally, that sounds like my four basic food groups since I’ve been since stuck at home under quarantine.

Each stool is made from cast, hand-painted resin, which certainly isn’t as tasty as the real thing, but also won’t stain your pants when you sit on it. You can find all four of these over at Urban Outfitters – where they sell for $210 each. That’s not exactly cheap, but at least these foods don’t have an expiration date.
