The details

THE BIG IDEA

Less scrolling.
More surprise.

A real pinecone. A note you didn’t see coming. Something to reach for that isn’t your phone.

CrunchCone pairs the texture of a dried pinecone with a message hidden inside. Part desk novelty, part small gift. The crunch is the moment; the note is yours to keep.

The trade-off
Single-use; creates material waste
Repeatable; needs a device

Different experiences, not a claim that one improves health or concentration. CrunchCone is a novelty gift, not a medical product.

THE DETAILS THAT MATTER.

A little care.
A better crunch.

Our physical prototype is ready for presentation.

Containment comes first. Natural pinecones vary, and their fragments can puncture packaging. Keep every crunch contained—never crush a bare cone.

Before a physical demonstration

Use only inner packaging designed to contain the fragments, with an intact seal and no tears or leaks. If containment is uncertain, display the cone intact rather than crushing it.

Care & handling

Keep the cone dry and the inner bag intact. Do not use damaged or leaking packaging. Keep natural fragments away from eyes and skin, and keep cones and loose pieces away from children and pets. This is not food. Keep fragments contained for disposal.

Is CrunchCone available to buy?

CrunchCone is a student project, not an online store. The price shown is a classroom proposal, not an offer for sale. The enhanced photos show our classroom prototype and its pink window-box packaging with a clean studio-style background. CrunchCone is a novelty gift, not a medical device; no health or stress-relief claims are made.

AN ORDINARY PINECONE. AN UNEXPECTED MOMENT.

Small cone.
Big personality.
