<\/a><\/p>\nWhat the HapiFORK will do for you, however, is tell you when you eat your fried butter or green beans too fast.\u00a0 When the fork thinks it\u2019s going to and from your mouth too frequently, it starts to vibrate so you know you should slow down. But really, this feature would only encourage me to eat faster because the sensation of my fork vibrating while I\u2019m eating my butter sounds awesome and hilarious. I\u2019m sure the vibration is much more subtle in real life than it is in my head, but still. In addition, there\u2019s an LED on the end of the fork that is green when you\u2019re good to eat and red when you need to slow down, because who doesn\u2019t love to play Red Light Green Light with dinner?<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t worry all you folks on a liquid diet or those who simply like soup. You too can have these useless metrics because there\u2019s a spoon attachment as well. However, I\u2019m not sure how you\u2019re supposed to learn to eat your potato chips, pizza, and sub sandwiches slowly unless HAPILABS creates an implant that would make my hand vibrate when it went to and from my mouth too frequently. In which case, I wouldn\u2019t be using my vibrating hand to eat.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re still set on trying this beeping and jostling instrument out, you can buy the fork for the small fee of $99. SERIOUSLY. That’s $99 for something you\u2019ll use for about a week or that you\u2019ll have for three days before Grandpa Jo sticks it in the dishwasher for you (the fork end detaches from the smart end so you can easily wash it without ruining the\u00a0electronics, but Grandpa Jo doesn\u2019t know that).<\/p>\n
