Wacky Utensils That Bring Flavor Back for People Who Can’t Eat

Harlan

Some people cannot eat or drink normally. Their tongues are missing out on the opportunity to meet new flavorful friends. The solution? Wacky Utensils. Dutch designer Louise Knoppert came up with these interesting little nick knacks that allow those who don't feed normally to enjoy the wonders of taste. This invention has brought another wonder of life back into the sick person's life.

I think the whole invention is absolutely brilliant, not to mention the design is adorable. I think this concept could be used in so many more ways than just for people who can't eat properly though. I think, if more research was invested, this sort of thing could be used in treatment for drug addiction or for psychological uses. Help in recovery for mental illness. Taste is a powerful thing and I think this little revolution could be the start of something much greater.
