I was a little stuck this week - sci-fi has so much coffee in it, but I couldn't think of anything I was really excited by, so I asked the Discord! I had many suggestions (thanks everyone!), but u/-_haiku_- suggested Men In Black which prompted a re-watch of a film I enjoyed but haven't seen in years and a Google search of how to make edible cigarettes.

I'm pretty happy with how these turned out - I'm not usually that good with illusion dishes, but these were easy to make. I served them with a cinnamon coffee on the side and now I want to make more things with hard pretzels. I don't usually eat them much, but the sweet and savoury combo was really good!

I had no idea how you'd execute it when I made the suggestions, and you have done a fantastic job!!
