Some of you might recall a post a few months back about the worst foods to eat over your keyboard. Well, designer Duck Young Kong has come up with something akin to a T.V. tray that might protect your keyboard from your lunch. As you can see, it can hold your food and still leave room for you to type. Is this convenient? Probably. Is it a surefire way to get your greasy, grilled-cheese-hands all over your keyboard? You bet. It still looks like a recipe for disaster to me.

Useless. Better put lunch on table. My table is always free for food.

I must have this gadget! I can think of several uses other than greasy, messy foods but I must have one!
Okay, I'm a hopeless geek. I admit it.

I think I should also confess that I don't own a dining table. :D

Another reason to stay glued to your chair when you
should at least take a walk around the block and sit
on a park bench with a brown bag lunch. Eat dinner at
the table, whatever on's the computer can be saved.

potatoes.

Ok, I would so forget that clear tray was there and fling it upwards launching the hot coffee on my lap.

Why not just hire a monkey to feed you while working?

AAaaaa The perfect item to help expand everything below and make you shaped like a bowling pin..Little on top & big below......
I knew a lady who parked her car 3 blockes away from work.She walked to work,back to the car to get lunch,walked back with lunch to the break room and walked back to drive home. And at the time, my 25 year old eyes noticed how well she looked......at 45.

This is ridiculous! Employees should be encouraged to eat somewhere other than their desks for lunch. It's a hard earned break that they deserve.

Oh my God! I can just imagine reaching up and accidentally flipping the whole stupid thing over! I don't need that problem. There's already enough stuff stuck in my keyboard to start a mushroom farm.

I agree with Angela. You should make time for your lunch or breakfast and take a break from the computer.

Why do some of you people have such strong opinions about something so silly as people eating at their desk either at work or home? You do what you want, and so will they. STFU

As I work in a 1 girl office, I can see where this could be handy. Do I want one? NO...something else for someone to pile things on...besides my lunch.

Something else to clutter my workspace...I don't think so! Besides, according to the DOL it is illegal to eat at your desk (at work) in our state.(NC) :)

Well if you are going to ruin your keyboard you might as well do it right.....enjoy a super sloppy meatball sandwich and a banana strawberry smoothie. There , now you can feel better about replacing that keyboard.
