SpoonTEK is equipped with a small built-in stun gun of extremely low power. It is safe for humans.

How does it work

Using such a spoon will make it possible to reduce the consumption of salt, monosodium glutamate and other seasonings that are considered dangerous for the body.

SpoonTEK has two electrodes in the deep part and handle, a compact power supply and an LED. The collected food is in contact with one electrode, the person’s hand with the other, and when the spoon is in the mouth, the electrical circuit between the electrodes is closed and a light current passes through the tongue.

It is claimed that the taste buds in the tongue are electrically stimulated. creates the illusion of a rich food taste. The mechanism is similar to how the active chemicals in spices irritate the sensitive cells of the tongue, which our brain interprets as “taste”. This technology is already used in custom cocktail glasses and chopsticks.

An important condition for the operation of SpoonTEK is the conductivity of the food, the spoon only works with food with a high moisture content – soups, yogurts, ice cream, etc. It should not be used by people with mouth piercings and people with electrical devices such as pacemakers. The LED indicates that the electrical circuit is closed, so you can change the position of your fingers and use the spoon as usual.

Cost of SpoonTEK 29 dollars.
