Feb 8 2008Zing! Food Fight Weapon Is Questionable
I enjoy a good fight as much as the next guy. I think they're the key to a healthy marriage and having dried food particulate caked all over the kitchen walls. To help the less adept food fighter Fred & Friends developed Zing! food launching spoons. As you can see they're spoons with a spring in the middle. Personally I have no problem getting a good launch with a regular spoon, but I studied food projectiles in middle school. You should have seen the shot I made two nights ago! I hit my wife right between the eyes with a good sized portion of tuna noodle casserole. She was pissed but acknowledged the great shot. Then she waited till I was loading the dishwasher and beat me in the skull with a meat tenderizer until I was unconscious.
Thanks to Sly, who is a craftier than a fox, for the tip

I like how they are color coded so that if you drop it in the heat of battle it won't get confused with an opponents slinger.
Now that's good design.

Ah yes...the starving children in Africa will love this one.

well if they're starving then they don't have any food to fling so why would they like this? I don't get it...

Sorry nothing beats the shear power of the Spork in the heat of battle.

So why the broccoli? Surely some mash or a nice piece of rump steak would fly better?!

Would this even work as well as a regular spoon? Too little leverage.

he called it the Tortilla Torsion Catapult.*
*already trademarked, bitches!

I'm with #6, I think the spring would actually make it less accurate and give you less distance than with a normal spoon.

So what's with all these posts about starving children in Africa? Where in Africa? And there's been starving kids in Africa for EVER, so why bring it up now? What about other countries and continents with starving children...what, don't care about them? In other words, stop talking about it.
And yes, this would reduce distance and accuracy
