Roundup: Food-Related Things That Probably Shouldn't Be Food-Related

I've been collecting a bunch of odd things that people have made that are in some way food-related even though they probably shouldn't be. I've also added my predictions for how these projects might affect their creators' future plans.
Skittles Wrapper Prom Dress
15 hours and 101 skittles wrappers later, this crafty teen went to the prom confident that nobody would have the same dress as her.
I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we see her... as the "sassy, indie chick" contestant on Project Runway.
UPDATE: I just remembered that least season of Project Runway there was a candy wrapper challenge. This Skittles action totally would've won.
Pabst Blue Ribbon Casket
This guy loves Pabst Blue Ribbon so very very much that he made a PBR casket before he died, and to make additional use of it while he was still alive, he threw a party and used the casket as an ice chest, and filled it with Stella Artois. Just kidding! He filled it with PBR, natch.
I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we see him... dying of cirrhosis and filling the casket with what it was made for- him. Also, a few cans of PBR for the afterlife.
Lamps Made Of Bread
These were designed and made by Kimberly Hu for a Dine On Design event. You can eat 'em, but then the bulb will be exposed and the ambiance will be ruined. What to do, what to do?
I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we see her... with a cross-promotional Food Network/HGTV mashup show about how to bake yourself a full interior design makeover, on a budget of just flour and water.
Japanese Food-Themed Spa Treatments
According to SeriousEats, at Japanese spa Yunessen, you can take spa treatments in baths that range from red wine, sake, coffee, and green tea, to... RAMEN. "Chopsticks and noodle decorations hang over the hot tub; the pepper-flavored water is flecked with skin-healthy collagen and garlic extracts; and, best of all, 'a man dressed as a chef dispenses noodle-shaped bath additives' and soy sauce into the water.
I'm sure it's only a matter of time before you see me... throwing up in my mouth a little at the idea of "relaxing" by sitting in a giant bowl of garlic ramen. Yeech.
