  • SEMaven, on 01/24/2008, -2/+36I guess it won't look so bad to see people chewing their pen lids any more.
  • inactive, on 01/24/2008, -2/+36until your pen starts leaking ink...

    yum
  • bossm4n, on 01/24/2008, -0/+33Now my pens will look even more bitchin' sticking out of my pocket protector.
  • blakeley, on 01/24/2008, -3/+28Why not just attach food to the tops of the pens?
  • ultraJesus, on 01/24/2008, -1/+21Take THAT the wheel, the pulley, the internal combustion engine, nuclear reactors and sliced bread! You have been outdone.
  • autitastic, on 01/24/2008, -2/+19Best Invention ever...?
    Guys who invented the wheel must be kicking themselves.
  • inactive, on 01/24/2008, -1/+16Inaccurate. Everyone knows the best invention ever is sliced bread.
  • Roland1232, on 01/24/2008, -1/+11'cause if there's anything pen caps are known for, it's never coming loose when you don't want them to.
  • lcarsdeveloper, on 01/24/2008, -0/+5Bured. Reported. Blocked. Thankyou, come again!
  • barnis, on 01/24/2008, -1/+6chopsticks anyone?
  • autitastic, on 01/24/2008, -1/+5..and yes - I'm thick because I posted it twice.
  • richmessenger, on 01/24/2008, -1/+5While it is an awesome idea, I'm never carrying many pens let alone a pen when I'm eating. For those that do, chow down.
  • Katana, on 01/24/2008, -0/+4I have that habit, it does look horrible, i bought a smoking pipe to replace the pen, looks much more classy.
  • mcnasby, on 01/24/2008, -1/+4No need for a spork pen top when you have one of these:

    I just ordered one last night. I figured I might need it if I continue living out of a bag for the rest of the semester.
  • davidave, on 01/24/2008, -2/+5yeah i thought penicillin was the best invention ever but i guess crappy miniature utensils that put oil stains on the cover pages of your TPS reports will do just fine
  • djdevnull, on 01/24/2008, -0/+3Better

  • inactive, on 01/24/2008, -0/+3Ralph? Is that you!
  • capiCrimm, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2do you live in New Jersey or Arkansas?
  • KingGorilla, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2Bacon flavored pencils!!!
  • xdeliriumx, on 01/24/2008, -1/+3If only they made a spork pen top.
  • LogicBomB, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2Finally, an unstable plastic utensil set. Just what I always wanted!
  • rglover, on 01/24/2008, -1/+3Morbidly obeese people are going to be ***** psyched about this...
  • bob12321, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2So you cut your bacon with a keyboard?
  • inactive, on 01/24/2008, -1/+3interesting though, one's dugg up, and one down. post it again.
  • inactive, on 01/24/2008, -1/+3go on over to pen island

  • Shogi, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2This is useless. Buy a pocket knife and a titanium spork. Cooler and more efficient. And without the annoying utensil coming off.
  • nicko68, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2What, you don't eat lunch at work?
  • snoonoo, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1Thank! You've made my day.
  • Masterful1, on 01/24/2008, -3/+4agreed!
    while it is cool Idea, it won't get my vote for a Nobel prize.
  • DAG333, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1until the pen breaks and ink spills into your macaroni...NO!
  • diggik, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2Do not buy! These will be swag faster than any kooshie or USB thumbdrive ever hoped to be.
  • aladrin, on 01/24/2008, -2/+3First, plastic knives wear down -really- fast and plastic forks break extremely easily. They'd have to be made of really good plastic.

    Second, who carries around extra pen lids when they could just carry about the utensils instead and not take up much more space?

    It's cute, and would make a nice gag gift, but completely impractical.
  • Bigbro69, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2Where can you actually buy these from? I want some...
  • warrenterr, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2Because pen's are sooooooo heavy to carry with you, not to mention ALL that effort in switching from utensil to pen.. OMG
  • dougmidkiff, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2"Shut down humanity"


    dugg exclusively for the article's title
  • flxfxp, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2Wow! that saves me space when i want to write a message on someones stabbed body ^_^
  • CoolWind, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2Oh good. Now I can carry around disposable utensils to eat with. Then when I finish eating I can ask the waiter/waitress to clean them for me. This is a very dumb idea.
  • foofoobee, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2"these things are a gimme for restaurant reviewers". Um, if the restaurant is not providing patrons with flatware of any sort, I think the review has pretty much written itself at that point.
  • chad78, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1I prefer the wedge. People don't give enough credit to the wedge.

    Also fire.
  • Masterful1, on 02/08/2008, -0/+1how is this a reply to my comment?
  • footfwd, on 02/02/2008, -0/+1Just what I need when eating my hamburger in a can! They can be soooo messy. And finally now i can do my 10ft tall ball point pen art and eat at the same time!
  • KingGorilla, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2I'm quite fond of the wheel
  • snoonoo, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1I would rather carry 2 pens with me and use them as chopsticks when needed.
  • donna1234, on 07/15/2008, -0/+1These pen tops pop onto your pen and can be used for regular eating utensils.

  • suntereo, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1Pen?? What's that?
  • smrekar, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1now we have peniknifen, peniforken and penispoonin. the last one sounds the best hahah penismightier.
  • iamdon, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2err...what is a pen?! We have keyboards...at work
  • Tgg161, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2If you're going to have some of these, why don't you just have a few forks around instead?
