Bite Silverware – Awareness of starvation and obesity.

bite silverware

Mark A. Reigelman II has created this Bite silverware as part of a design competition. From what research I’ve done, it never went into public production. But it is a gorgeous design either way that has a strong message.

In the designer’s own words:
as a global culture, it is our duty to be concerned with worldwide epidemics such as starvation and obesity. each day millions of individuals lay in hunger while millions more
are wastefully overeating. this set of ‘bitten’ silverware highlights the daunting reality  of both worldly plagues

Excercise Cutlery

exercise cutlery

The folks over at Mashable.com have a great article about exercise cutlery that is basically dumbbells  attached to your fork, knife and spoon.  Their picture caught my eye because of the Full English Breakfast.

The knife and fork are 1kg and the desert spoon is 2kg because you need the extra work out when eating all that sugar I guess.

It’s a silly idea, not very practical and a little expense for a unique handmade product. But if someone you know is a fitness buff (or should be) it would be a great gift.

71N3UwyPJ9L._SL1500_Apple’s recent success with the golden Iphone has brought attenti0n to people’s love of all things that glitter. But gold cutlery? Sure, why not. “Rocco” by Herdmar is actually 18/10 stainless steel with a matte gold finish. It’s dishwasher safe and won’t need polishing. But you will polish it, you know you’ll polish it. It’s gold! It has to be at it’s shiniest!

Glow in the Dark Cutlery

Glow Cutlery

This stuff looks pretty cool. I’m not sure how sturdy it is, there is always a problem with plastic utensils. But I’m convinced that it would be the ultimate cutlery for Dining in the Dark. My big concern would be to not break the handle and accidently season my food with biohazardous glowing goo. If anything, you’ll never have a problem finding your spoon under the table if you drop it.
