And then the unimaginable happened. A fever for scutoids broke out in popular culture. Without the intervention of researchers, many companies put scutoid-shaped products on sale: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/product\/V4SFWZHQ5\/scutoid-earrings-mathematical-jewelry\">earrings<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/neptuneglassworks.com\/geometry\">glasses<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tiny-tokens.com\/shapeways-items\/jewelry\/geometric-jewelry\">rings<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/decoracion.trendencias.com\/varios\/decoracion-tambien-se-rinde-al-encanto-escutoide-nueva-forma-natural-geometrica\">flower pots<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.productoscazorla.com\/miel\/548-escutoides-de-miel-cruda-Apicazorla.html\">honey jars<\/a>.
