KFC outlets in the UK are trialling edible coffee cups called 'Scoff-ee cups' which are cookie-lined wafer cups laced with mood-enhancing scents.

The Scoff-ee cup is made from biscuit wrapped in sugar paper that is lined with a layer of heat-resistant white chocolate.

The infused scents include coconut sunscreen, freshly cut grass and wild flowers, reportedly to evoke memories of summer holidays and warm weather.

The cups are part of a marketing push to launch Starbucks brand, Seattle Best Coffee at UK KFC outlets, and are the result of a collaboration with UK experimental food development company The Robin Collective.

The innovation is reminiscent of The Milk & Cookie Shot, a chocolate chip cookie shaped into a shot glass, served warm and filled with cold, vanilla-infused milk, created last year by Dominique Ansel, the inventor of the doughnut croissant hyrbrid known as the cronut.

In news that is disappointing but not surprising given the recent reports on the unfolding Qenos saga, the new owner of Qenos has placed the company into voluntary administration. The closure of the Qenos Botany facility has also been confirmed.

An agreement struck between Cleanaway and Viva Energy will see the two companies undertake a prefeasibility assessment of a circular solution for soft plastics and other hard-to-recycle plastics.
