I have no idea any more where this came from. I think it was my son during dinner one night when talking about chips and stuff.
What would one do if one could put a chip in a spoon?
Makes for great fun:
- A spoon that plays a song that you can only hear when it’s in your mouth
- A spoon that can send your health in the morning when you use it.
- A spoon that vibrates itself when it senses milk with unmixed chocolate syrup.
- A spoon that cools soup (via the Pelletier effect) or stays cool for when eating ice cream).
- A spoon that makes funny comments while you eat – great gag value for kids, especially when it unexpectedly cries out ‘Don’t bite me!’ or ‘Let me out!’ at odd moments when in your mouth.
Just bring tangential…
Yeah — a spoon that vibrated and played a song or spoke only when touched against your teeth, by sending the vibrations through your jaw and skull to your ear — so only you can hear it. I once tried a toy that did that, it creates a very weird sensation as if the voice is coming from inside your head! “Bone conduction” is the term. It’s been used for Scuba.
