So My Fork Makes Me Feel Guilty
Statistics in books make me just totally fall asleep. What this projects aims to do is to add another page to the three dimensional world of awareness. “What if this kind of information crawled off the page and seeped into the products that surround us?” That’s what Nadeem Haidary aims to explore. The first image you’ll see is of a fork whose prongs each represent the calories each capita consumes. Frightening?
As you can guess, the capita with the most calories has the prong most likely to pierce the food. The same is true with the plates that go with the forks in this set: the surface area of the plate relating directly to, again, the amount of calories per capita.
This project is called “Caloric Consumption” and if someone tries to make me eat with it when I’m chomping down on some amazing crab legs, I’m totally just not gonna look at the fork and pretend the plate doesn’t have a starving country on it. After the meal I will contribute money to a charitable fund.
Next time on Haidary’s extensive “In-Formed” project: Waste Production and Water Usage!
Joy!

Treats Come In Triplets
Three for one, that’s how I look at the nifty Trinity Dish. The holidays are near so I’m all for anything that promises less prep and cleanup. They’re two much for these two little hands! The Trinity Dish unfolds into, count ‘em – one, two, three dishes offering guests bite sized goodies. Get real creative and use them for decor, say a beautiful candle display or maybe little storage containers for your home office.

This is no “Tippy Cup”
When I was a little fellow, I had several new-age solutions for my spilling tendencies. One was, as the title suggests, a “tippy cup.” The tippy cup was a regular cup with a screw-on lid that had a little sippy tip on the top and a weighted half-sphere on the bottom. It worked wonders until I learned how to get the top off! What designer Kenyon Yeh’s got for us here is a simpler solution for a slightly less destructive child.
Yes, this cup will not work if your little monkeys kick it across the room, BUT if they’re just a little bit clumsy sometimes, it’s a nice idea! Quite simply its a cup with a wider bottom and little gap to avoid burnt hands on hot liquids. Though why a kid is drinking much less handling liquid so hot it’ll burn their hand is beyond me.
Also I LOVE THE KID IN THE FIRST PICTURE.

Two Holes Are Better Than One
A small annoyance of mine is having to wait for a sauce or dressing like ketchup to trickle down from the bottom but with the Dual Bottle, my impatience is alleviated. A simple solution would be to always leave the bottle inverted, but I’m way too OCD for that. With the Dual Bottle, there’s no up or down. Just open the end where the condiment goodness is closest to and BOOM (ala Steve Jobs style), food is smothered.
P.S. Yes there is a smaller version for dry condiments but that made less sense to me since gravity does just fine with standard bottles.
