Globolob
A bright pink doughy ball around two inches in diameter. The outside is squishy and firm, the inside is soft and oozes into a liquid with the body warmth of the consumer. Marketed primarily at children, it is lightly sweet and sticky and stains skin a vivid pink for several hours. The packaging is Bright pink and green striped, featuring a smiling globulon mascot commonly called 'Oblob' but has no official name.
Production[edit]
Globolob is created partially from the discarded matter of a natural process that happens to globulons every 5 months or so, wheirin their outer layer is shed as a pile of viscous goo. Taking this goo, treating it with a variety of food agents and preservatives, it becomes the main ingredient. Stored in a pressurised container kept at 4.6 Telas atmospheres (the preferred for Globulons), flour, milk, sugar, and flavourings are added to create the chewey gooey snack.
History[edit]
The brainchild of commodities trader Yeovin Gertrude Mottle and food factory magnate Grenf Borgo, Globolob came onto billboards fourteen years ago. Initially sold as a new kind of sponge (and it still does a very good job at cleaning hard surfaces such as starship control pannels) it was quickly discovered by curious travellers that it had a very satisfying texture on which to chew. Taking stock of this growing reputation, the recipe was altered to make it into the snackfood we know and love.
