In the pursuit of a great idea, inventors can sometimes lose sight of the big picture. I don’t doubt that the Calamente Noodle fork is fantastic at spinning up a nice, big fork full of pasta, but I also don’t doubt that before the end of a meal with this medieval war museum display piece I would have at least three gruesome lip piercings that I hadn’t really planned for. I’ll stick with a fork and spoon for now. Or my hands. Or, honestly, anything but this. [Trends in Japan via BBG]
