Eating on the go may get more fun with Fast Food Cutlery

design for cutlery that fits on your fingers so you can eat with your hands.Are you always looking for new ways to eat on the go? Well if you are, there may be something coming soon just for you.

This design for Fast Food Cutlery was submitted to DesignBoom as part of a contest called "Dining in 2015." This wasn't one of the winning designs, but that doesn't mean it won't get manufactured. Fast Food Cutlery would be a fun and interesting way to eat on the go. At least it would help keep your hands a little cleaner, and make eating in the car a little easier (I know you shouldn't eat in the car, but sometimes you have to).

One of the winning designs was cutlery that fits on a pen tip. I personally think the Fast Food Cutlery is a better idea. The pen-tip cutlery isn't much different from the plastic cutlery that's available everywhere, and we all know that's not as effective. You'd still have to remember to actually bring the product with you and then home to wash, which would rule it out for those of us with memory problems. Still, Fast Food Cutlery looks fun and easy to use, especially if you like to eat with your hands anyway. I'd get one if I saw it, if it wasn't too expensive. Would you?

Designboom's "Dining in 2015" contest winners revealed

Designboom, a mod blog devoted to the latest and greatest in product design, recently came out with the winners of its 2006 Dining in 2015 contest. The challenge was exactly as it sounds: to design a food-related product that would be useful in 2015 at work, in travel, or at home.

Chefs and designers from Italy and Japan judged the entires and came up with the top three and an honorable mention.

Let's start from the bottom and work up. The honorable mention [ed. note: shown in photo] was an eco-friendly solution to dinner prep: silicone and nylon triangle-shaped buckets that allow the cook to boil three different foods all in one pot, thereby saving energy, time, and water. I totally expect it to be selling out on QVC in no time.

Third place? A creative ceramic salt and pepper shaker that forces you to physically break open the canister to access the spices inside. The goal of the project? There isn't any, really, but we bet it's really, really fun to break open. Save it for a day when you're really pissed off at someone, and then smash away. (But don't get carried away - - then you'll just have a mess of salt, pepper, and white ceramic shards to clean up).
