Deceiving Frozen Dessert Cushions

The Ice Cream Pillow Will Instantly Make Your Mouth Water

— September 17, 2013 — Art & Design
The ice cream pillow is a sweet way to fall asleep every night.

This extremely comfortable cushion is designed to look like a delicious ice cream sandwich and having one look will make your stomach grumble. While it looks realistic and good enough to eat, it's unfortunately inedible. The pillow looks like a top of the line ice cream sandwich as it even comes with a bunch of chocolate chips incorporated into the design.

The cushion is one way parents can encourage their young children to go to sleep; after all, who could resist hugging this delicious-looking pillow? If you're a student who's no stranger to pulling all-nighters, it probably isn't the best idea to study near the sandwich, as all it'll do is make your bed look even more inviting and encourage you to eat a snack and continue procrastinating.
