March 20 - Iso Shrimp

"Shrimp are the unsung heroes of the sea. They work hard, taste great, and never ask for credit."

~ Andrew Zimmern

The plan was simple, really, and it combined two of his greatest loves -- shrimp and bubblegum.

The Bubblegum Shrimp Corporation now holds the record for the shortest-lived business in history. The first (and only) investor popped a piece in his mouth, chewed once - then immediately went silent and off-color. He later described the experience as "existentially regrettable."

The shrimp design is one from Isopresso's YouTube channel. I had avoided it thinking the weave would be complicated, but it was very straightforward and the shape makes it very forgiving.
