Some people feel that their food isn’t quite tasty enough unless it had added salt, sugar or MSG. The SpoonTEK spoon offers a healthier alternative, as it reportedly boosts the perceived flavor of foods by harmlessly zapping its user’s tastebuds.
Manufactured by a US startup of the same name, the SpoonTEK features a built-in battery and electronics, including one electrode on the underside of its handle, and one in its bowl section. As is the case with regular spoons, the device is designed for use with relatively wet or moist foods such as soups, stews, yogurt or ice cream.
