A while back, we covered a candy called Candy Virus and now, as part of the “Sentimental Objects in Attempts to Befriend a Virus” series, some creative folks crafted chocolate truffles into replicas of the molecular structure of the Hepatitis-C virus. The candies don’t actually carry the virus, but they’re a little creepy and definitely can start a conversation about Hep-C, an infectious blood-borne virus that brings about serious liver trouble.
I’m all for artistic candy—especially if it brings attention to an interesting subject, and the Hep-C candy is one of the coolest projects I’ve seen in a long time.
