…unless the message you want to send is “eat my shorts,” of course. But if you are feeling brave, you can make these edible briefs in three easy steps. Just season some ground beef and create some sheets of it. Then carve up your these sheets into sections using your own briefs as a template. Then you just tie it together with Slim Jim string.

Lastly, present it to your Valentine and prepare to get smacked upside the head. Very simple process. But don’t. Really, just don’t!

If you’re just not getting enough red meat in your diet, head on over to GeekStuff4U and grab one. At the insane price of $97.86, maybe it’s actually made out of the extravagant luxury Japanese beef.
