This is a place to pitch goofy million dollar ideas that you had in the shower, as you were falling asleep, or during a fever dream. Think of it is as shitty Shark Tank.

Scab in a Can (self.shitty_million_dollar_ideas)

A can or bottle of an edible liquid that, when applied to skin, dries to a peelable scab-like consistency.

Mainstream? No, but the niche this hits it would hit HARD.

Liquid bandage? It's already a thing, and a good one. Great for cuts on your hands or any hard to bandage spots.

Its generally mixed with antiseptic like alcohol, so it burns like a fuck while it sets but also cleans the wound.

The eating part is going to be tricky though.

That was my initial reaction too, but a re-read to see if liquid bandage fit the bill led me to think that an injury isn't the point, and the point is having a scab present to pick and eat.

Which is why we need something different. Maybe a gum base with an easily evaporated solvent?

What purpose is it supposed to serve?

Pickable scab on demand.

Does it taste like the real thing, though?

Like super glue but less sticky?
