Abstract: A supported comestible comprises a frozen comestible (84), or a non-frozen comestible (102), that is supported by an edible support (60, 62, 64, 68, 70, 72, 74, 96, 98, 116). The edible support has sufficient surface area inside the comestible (84, 102) to support the comestible. The edible support has sufficient surface area outside the comestible to provide a utilitarian support for the comestible. Protective, edible mess guards (76, 78), for the hands and fingers, protective, edible drip guards (80), freestanding edible supports (98), edible moisture-proof barriers/coatings and sealants (86), edible supported working models, multi-ingredient supports, mini and large size confections, comestible kits, protective packaging (112), stick alignment device (80, 118), and an “all in one” mold and packaging apparatus for frozen confections (120) are also provided.

Abstract: A zipper system comprises two elongated coupling elements (38) and (40) each having a row of interlocking elements (42) and (44) mounted on and along their respective inner edges. The zipper provides arresting female members (22Z, 22', 22, 36, 36', 23, 23') including a female arresting slider (22Z, 22', 22) slidably connected to one of two elongated coupling elements (38, 40). The arresting female members (22Z, 22', 22, 36, 36', 23, 23') are adapted to unite with each other (differently in various embodiments) to form a coupled female unit (22F) with a planar surface for coupling and uncoupling with a male interlocking element (26, 26', 32, 34, 26E-26N, 80-90). The zipper also comprises intergarment plates (50, 52) with thumbholds (54, 56), strap holders (94), a two-way zipper (23, 23') and resilient locking assemblies (28, 30).
