Whoever said “necessity is the mother of all inventions’ clearly got it all wrong because if you’ve seen some of the products gracing the internet, you’d definitely be mildly amused and surprised at the fact that it exists. Not faltering in the efficiency department at all, these products deserve a shout out.
Sweet play
Instead of the usual fancy plating, French designer Elsa Lambinet has put a twist on food and design with this project called Sweet Play. Focusing on a modular design, foodies will be able to build their own personal chocolate based on 3 layers. The first layer would consist of milk, white or dark chocolate, the second would be a filling like caramel, wafers, etc., and the third would be a topping that could consist of nuts, fruits or even liquors. Probably a plan that could pave way for new chocolatiers all around the globe, the design might not be loud but it definitely allows for personal preference to take over.
Stem the Citrus Spritzer
Probably an invention that would have juicers eating dust. Stem is actually designed to look like the top half of a dispenser. This light and handy device was invented by Tim Houlter because he had one too many duties that involved squeezing citrus fruits at a Mexican restaurant, which caused his eyes to act up a bit since the juice got into everywhere but the container. He invented this snazzy device to save people the trouble of getting squirted on by evil acidic fruits that could cause a burn.
