## The story

For years, spring baskets came stuffed with plastic grass that ended up everywhere. Edible Basket Grass fixed that by making it candy. The shredded strands came in pastel pink, lavender and green, and they tasted like strawberry and lime. Kids ate the grass before the chocolate, and vacuum cleaners everywhere finally got a break.

## Fun fact

It still turned up under couch cushions in July, but at least now it counted as a snack.
