This customized pair of underwear is made out of beef jerky, yes, the kind you can eat. The edible skivvies are encrusted with stick-on crystals and are sewn together with leather, to make them look somewhat stylish.

Not to sound mean, but there isn't much room for larger packages. I guess it could be a tasty treat for someone who is extremely hungry!
