"It's not edible, it's eatable"
That's how I describe my cooking

My takeaway from this is that you could probably sell the 100% sawdust as some type of high-fiber nutrition bar and people would probably buy it

My uncle used to make maple sawdust candies using maple syrup vanilla and pine tree sawdust. Usually right after Christmas, he'd cut up the tree, and save the sawdust to make the candy, it was actually like a 50/50 of sawdust to maple syrup, and they were good.

Any rice crispy company:

„Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN“

Adding sawdust to make flour etc go further was apparently pretty common in days of old in famine times. Victorian England they used to add chalk to bread to make it heavier and whiter which was the two indicators of 'quality' back in those days. And some added so much chalk that you could starve to death while feeling full cause there was so much chalk in it. This brought about the first food adulteration laws which banned adding of chalk (and no doubt other stuff) into bread.

"Not EXPECTED to be toxic for ingestion"
it's not expected because they never thought anyone would actually eat it lol
These 2 may be the reason we'll probably be seeing "warning contains wood" on containers of sawdust soon lol

Set these out at an office with a sign saying “free homemade rice crispies” and up the saw dust percentage by one every day until someone notices

[patharmon]

Watching this at work, I asked my friend, who happens to work here, how much sawdust he thought you could put in. He asked if the question is how much saw dust before they notice something is wrong, or how much for them to know that it's sawdust.

“You could probably build a house out of sawdust”

Well yes frames are made out of wood

"100% sawdust rice krispie"

"Sir, that is a 2x4..."

If a random man in a lab coat comes up to you and says, “Please consume this, ” do not consume it.

"at 100% its not even a Rice Crispy anymore'


took me a couple of months but the math checks out there.

[RaianNSX]

Tries the 100% one: "it's like chocolate cake, but without the chocolate and the cake and with wood"

[electraloverloverlover]

"hey eat this rice crispy on camera"
"ok"
"ok now eat this piece of wood."

[HRRRRRDRRRRR]

When's that Japanese dude going to make a knife out of 100% sawdust crispy treats?

Whenever you see "cellulose" in the ingredients list of a food item, this is more or less what it is. Of course, food manufacturers generally don't put more than maybe ~10% cellulose in a product and generally much less than that in most things. More than that can really mess with taste and texture. It's basically used to give some structure/texture to packaged foods so they don't simply just fall apart or become a clumped mass by the time you go to eat them. A primary example is that powdered parmesan cheese you get at the grocery. Cellulose is added to keep it from clumping up into a hard mass that won't shake out and also helps keep moisture levels down inside of the can.

It doesn't hurt you, it just goes right through your body. Of course, eating too much of it can act as a laxative, so maybe stay away from the 100% sawdust rice crispy treats.
