It does not mean "eat me". Word order in Japanese is not the same as English. It means either "me, who eats" or "meishi (business card) you can eat", in other words, an edible business card, which is exactly what it is. Correction on the meaning of "taberu me".

Not stodgy and common. I think anyone who gives these has a mind that is willing to wander into the unusual. And let's face it. Those are the minds that change the world. They're fun and they make me laugh. We need a little more of that in the business world. This is a great idea. Not stodgy and common.

I suppose the appropriateness of edible calling cards would depend on the type of business, i.e. a cafe would do very well out of this kind of gag, but a lawyer? Not so much ... Keep the ideas coming though! Quirky, but not the most professional approach.

I don't think food cards will replace traditional business cards anytime soon, but they are cool looking (and probably pretty tasty too).

Ltd in Japan have developed a new way to save paper on business cards by offering edible business cards printed on peanuts. The cards are produced using a laser engraver which can etch up to 700 characters per second. If peanuts aren’t your preference, then they offer alternatives such as grains of rice, beans, nuts and pasta. I can’t see this catching on in the UK anytime soon, but as far as creativity goes it’s a nice touch. [...] [...] Arigatou Co.
