The bottles of the future could be eaten after scientists developed an edible material that can taste like the drink inside the bottle, the Daily Mail reported.

The product, a membrane created using a biodegradable plastic combined with food particles, could either be peeled off or potentially eaten whole.

So far, experts at Harvard University have filled an orange membrane with orange juice, a tomato-flavored enclosure with gazpacho and grape packages with wine.

可以吃的饮料瓶

       据英国《每日邮报》报道，未来瓶子都可以吃，因为科学家发明了一种可以吃的物质作为瓶子的原料，味道如同瓶内的饮品。

       这种瓶子是一种薄膜，由可降解塑料与食物颗粒合成的，它既可以剥落下来，也可以直接整个吃掉。

       目前，哈佛大学的专家已经制成了有橘子味的橘汁瓶，带有番茄味的装西班牙凉菜汤的瓶子，以及有葡萄味的葡萄酒瓶。
