In Case of Emergency – Eat This Book

Tuesday, June 12th, 2012

Developed by advertising geniuses Y&R Dubai for Land Rover, this survival guide is awesome. They really went the extra mile with this one. Far more than a marketing stunt, this is real. They researched every indigenous animal and plant, people could encounter in the Arabian Desert and how they could be used to survive. They also studied the topography of the region to guide people to safety, used used reflective packaging which could be used to signal for help, and bound the book with a metal spiral, which could be used for cooking. But that wasn’t enough. They made the book from edible ink and paper so that if all else fails it could be eaten. It has the nutritional value close to that of a cheeseburger.
