Not Only Freaking Stupid But Also Freaking Germy

Mischief PR and McVitie’s have teamed up to create the world’s first lickable wallpaper made of 1,325 McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes (cookies). Inspired by Willy Wonka, the wallpaper was installed in an elevator which they are calling a “Lick-able Lift.” The elevator can be found in the offices at Engine, a London-based communications company.

Who ever thought this was a good idea? Does kneeling down to lick your chosen cookie really increased your chances of not getting one that has been infected with the Ebola Virus or some other virulent plague on mankind? You would never know who had licked the wall before you. Why not just leave jelly beans in the urinals for me?

I like that they decided to create this petri dish in a heated elevator. That should really speed up the process. Why do I feel that in six weeks a whole city block is going to have to be destroyed with fire to stop some mutant wall licking zombie outbreak?

I understand now why some people bring a gun to work. All the wall licking makes you crazy after awhile.

What would temp a person who is take a 30 SECOND journey to another floor to start licking the walls? What if you were the ONLY person who licked the walls when the elevator was full of people? What if you were the ONLY one who DIDN'T give into their natural human impulse to taste everything in the immediate environment? What is the proper etiquette in such a situation. Is it women and children first or everyone for themselves?

It's all quite disturbing.
