Sometimes, certain foods are just tastier or best eaten using your hands. There’s chicken, for one, and let’s not forget ribs. You can use your fork and knife to maintain poise, but for low-key evenings at home, using your hands is the way to go – especially if you want to get all of the meat.
The only annoying thing is that the smell and mess often sticks with your fingers. Whatever you’re eating could be finger lickin’ good, but smelly fingers are not good at all. So for all your finger-eating needs, there’s Trongs.
They’re basically ridged finger tongs that you can use to grab your food. You’ll be eating using your hands, minus the mess because you’ll be doing so without direct contact. It seems more hygienic that way, and you won’t have to worry about smelly and greasy fingers afterwards.
A six-pair pack of Trongs are available from Amazon for $24.95 (USD).

Before you complain about how unusable it looks, here’s how it works: first, you’re supposed to use it as a spoon. Drink your soup, scoop up whatever you need to scoop – and when you don’t have any food that you can only eat or drink with a spoon, break the 3-in-1 in half.
Some folks finally saw fit to reinvent the spork and come up with a utensil that is actually useful. The spork you see here looks more likely to be able to perform its functions as both a spoon and as a fork, doesn’t it? While it was specifically designed for eating ramen noodles and soup, it could also come in handy for pasta and other saucy dishes.
