Now here’s an idea we can really sink our teeth into. Designer Siren Elise Wilhelmsen seeks to revolutionize the concept of the spoon, (which, let’s face it, hasn’t seen much improvement in the past hundred years or so), with her incredible edible bread spoons. Not only is the idea smart, funny, and kind of cute, it also looks like it tastes really good, especially with a bowl of soup. Not to mention the fact that these biodegradable utensils leave a lot less waste than their plastic counterparts, which is none at all if the user is hungry enough.
They do not look very functional for the task of being a soup spoon.
And they last what, like 2 bites? FAIL.
You can use e.g. carrots as a soup spoon, they are
not very comfortable, but in principle usable:
