Yep. Thanks to a few awesome people in my life I actually got to try these extra-special bits of glittery excrement for my birthday bash… They made for quite the celebration.

Needless to say, Instructables designer, creator & inventor kristylynn84 is pretty awesome.  Just in case you don’t take my suggestion to immediately collect the necessary sparkle ingredients & make a batch of your own, I feel compelled to at least share this bit of background:

“This unicorn poop, in reality, has a funny story.  I told my mom that I was making some ‘Unicorn Sneezes’ and she said ‘when are you going to make your unicorn sh*t?’  And then it hit me…Great idea, Mom!  It will take a dirty spin and become unicorn poop, instead!  She doesn’t want the credit for encouraging me, but I still thank her.” 

p.s.

There is even a video. Seriously. Watch it.

p.p.s.  

In case you are wondering, kristylynn84 wants us to know that ”the amount of poops that you get from this recipe depend on how big your unicorn is.” This might seem intuitive, but you’d be surprised by how many people believe that the media’s homogeneous presentation of unicorns (mostly petite, bright-eyed & palomino or white) accurately reflects unicorn variety.  

Thank you, kristylynn84, for drawing attention (though subtly) to this misconception, which is clearly a product of attempts to both invisiblise the beauty in variation and enforce or laud unicorn conformity.

Frankly, I just love MakerBot, so I had to pass this on. Even on sale, the Thing-O-Matic is in no way a steal, but it’s worth knowing about.
