12 Completely Insane Inventions That Actually Got Made
10. “This Is Me” Plastic Pea Scoop Attachment
Why bother using a wishy-washy knife to usher your disobedient peas onto your fork, when you could purchase a separate item that is entirely dedicated to just that task?
A hero by the name of Bob Heller has solved the problems of pea-lovers the world over, by inventing a device that can be used to push peas onto one's fork. This device differs from a knife in that it is almost entirely useless for any other purpose.
The 3D printed plastic scoop is worn on the end of the finger like a thimble or playful Hula Hoop, giving the user total pea-herding dexterity, without having to resort to a primitive and sometimes dangerous knife.
Heller has called his invention the "This Is Me" pea scoop, because that is what he would say whenever anybody threw him an entirely unjustified judgemental look for eating with his hands.
The This Is Me scoop will be retailing for an entirely reasonable $14.95 (around £10) - a small price to pay for total gastronomic freedom.
