Manila Design Week Edible Billboard
An edible billboard made out of 13,500 lollipops made by TBWA-SMP Manila was one of the most enjoyable things that came out of Manila Design Week 2010. A scrumptious piece of advertising that crossed over to art installation. I think the young designers who attended really liked it. I personally witnessed hoards of them fill their bags with candy once they realized that the words, "Suck Design" really meant FREE LOLLIPOPS FOR ALL!
The most comedic moment happened at the end of the night when we saw the takatak boy (Filipino roving street vendor) selling some of the sweet loot just outside the venue. Filipinos are so enterprising!
