NFTs: you know them, you love them, and now\u2026 you can eat them? Well, not really. It would be physically impossible to eat a non-fungible token. That is unless you were to transfer one to a hardware wallet, and then, well, you get the rest. Instead of endeavoring for indigestion (or a trip to the emergency room), perhaps consider patronizing one of the many NFT projects bringing a new sort of utility to holders: food.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s right, while over the past few years, NFTs have proliferated outward from the blockchain, impacting and intertwining with nearly every possible facet of pop culture, they\u2019ve finally landed in the culinary industry. And while most creators have been hard at work utilizing the blockchain as a host for video games, television shows, movies, music, and nearly any other type of intellectual property<\/a> (IP), some are thinking outside the box and revolutionizing a new market sector of non-fungible nosh.<\/p>\n Bored Ape NFT holders have consistently found creative and unique ways to monetize their owned IP<\/a>. But potentially one of the most interesting (and edible) ways a BAYC community member has done so is via the Food Fighters Universe<\/a>. A multi-faceted NFT project at its core, Food Fighters first staked its claim in the industry with\u00a0Bored & Hungry<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 a fast food restaurant in Long Beach, California, that employs four BAYC NFTs as facets of its branding.<\/p>\n Since the launch of Bored & Hungry, Food Fighters has branched out to various BAYC-inspired food endeavors. Two of the project\u2019s most notable BAYC-focused food offerings are\u00a0Dr. Bombay\u2019s Sweet Exploration<\/a> \u2014 a dessert shop collaboration with\u00a0Snoop Dogg<\/a> \u2014 and\u00a0Bored Taco<\/a>, a joint venture with Web3 architect and crypto-fund founder\u00a0Champ Medici<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pizza and the blockchain \u2014 just try to name a more iconic duo. Born as a whimsical take on the iconic Bitcoin Pizza Day of May 23, 2010, Rare Pizzas first started making waves in 2021 with an attempt to throw the world\u2019s largest pizza party. That year, the Rare Pizza team spent over $300,000 at more than 300 pizzerias in over 60 countries to bring fresh pies to crypto and NFT enthusiasts globally.<\/p>\n To get involved, collectors need only purchase a Rare Pizza Box<\/a> to support the project\u2019s mission. And better yet, unopened boxes can be redeemed at the Rare Pizza website<\/a> for a 1\/1 piece of rendered art featuring a random assortment of toppings from the 314 artists that helped build the collection.<\/p>\n Perhaps it\u2019s already common knowledge, but NFT folks love to party. At massive celebrations hosted on the outskirts of conferences like NFT.NYC and Art Basel Miami, you\u2019ll almost always cross paths with some sort of Web3-themed cocktail. But IRL meetups aren\u2019t the only place where wine and spirits have taken form in the NFT space.<\/p>\n Through endeavors like WokenWine<\/a> \u2014 a company that hopes to enable wineries\u00a0to utilize NFTs to track their wines and help end counterfeiting practices \u2014 wine has quickly found its way onto the blockchain<\/a>. And even beyond Web3-native projects, the industry\u2019s exposure to the non-fungible market has continued to grow, with numerous independent wineries<\/a> offering their own NFTs for authentication purposes.<\/p>\nNFT Wine & Spirits<\/h2>\n
