Twenty years of snacks at an absurd scale
Pimp That Snack began in 2006. Twenty years later, its community’s giant creations remain an archive of experiments: chocolate shells, improvised moulds, ambitious baking and the occasional glorious failure.
The archive keeps the makers’ names, original publication dates, words and photographs. The examples below span different years and approaches. Open an account to follow what its contributor actually did; use the project finder to explore the full collection.
