Loose Weight with this Revolutionary Plastic Diet Fork

As our catchphrase denotes we like to throw the odd curiosity in with all the high-tech gadgets and gizmos and this frankly ridiculous Diet Fork certainly merits an entry under the ‘curiosity’ label. And, whilst initially I thought that this was a joke, having proceeded with clicking through to order one of these ‘revolutionary’ diet forks I can confirm that I found myself in a secure page requesting my details.

The Diet Fork, according to the product site, ‘is here to provide dieters the necessary tool to help assist in portion control, a key factor in weight loss’ and basically consists of a disposable type plastic fork with the following (revolutionary?) design elements built in:

• Shorter and dulled teeth inhibiting user from grasping larger pieces of food at any one time.
• Smaller triangular shaped surface area allowing dieter to hold less food than many other forks.
• Uncomfortable grip compelling user to put fork down between bites, slowing the user’s eating speed.

At this point we feel that we really should make it clear that the main picture above is of a standard, common plastic fork as the only image provided of the Diet Fork on the official product site is as follows:

And the price of this cheap disposable plastic fork revolutionary Diet Fork? $8.95 for a pack of ten.

Whatever next? The Diet Spoon, perhaps (basically a plastic spoon with a bloody great hole in it)?
