4 Slushies Please!

After copious experimentation with the mystery that is EXPANDING FOAM, I believe I have finally mastered how to make it look the way I want. A sharp knive, a bucket of PVA and a few cans of spray paint later, and Hey Presto! instantly non-edible bevereages at your service. Unlike the over-riding design concepts of the play (raw, rough etc), these props are very defined and certainly well-finished. They reflect more the concepts of Loud and In-your-face.

In terms of the risk assessment for these props, there is a potential danger of inhaling the contents when pretending to suck the straws. I have alleviated this threat by including a false bottom, so that the base of the cups are foam-free, as well as sealing the bottom of the straws with the trusty hot-glue gun. For use in the run of the production, I will be providing a packet of 100 drinking straws Home Brand style, which are small enough to fit inside the permanently-stuck Maccas straws, which can be disposed of and replaced after each show.
