Kyl21

Kyl21 is an ice cream with popsicles in futuristic looking geometric shapes.

The science-food-company Molekyleis Produktionsgesellschaft mbH (Kyl) was founded in 2014 by product designer and marketing specialist David Marx in Berlin.[1][2] Kyl produces flash-frozen ice using technology based on liquid nitrogen, which allows popsicles in geometric shapes. The ice is produced at around −200 °C (−328.0 °F).[3][4]

The ice came out of the Science Kitchen - an independent food lab based in Berlin that specializes in molecular gastronomy by inventing and developing food products for a sustainable, vegan-friendly future.[5] Kyl-ice is produced in Berlin, Amsterdam and Los Angeles.

The Kyl21 name is a mash-up of the Norwegian word for molecule "molekyl", and the age (21+) of Marx's intended popsicle audience (Kyl is pronounced "kühl", IPA: [kyːl], the German word for "cool"). Through crowdinvesting at Companisto, Kyl21 was able to collect € 940.650 (ca. US $ 1.2 Million) venture capital.
