Sep 28 2009Eat Your Peas: Construction Equipment Flatware For Kids (And Shameless Adults)
This set of Constructive Eating Kids' Utensils costs $20 but some of the proceeds go to funding health services for children. So that's cool. Plus, heavy machinery, how can you go wrong? BEEP BEEP -- back that thing up and dump some mashed potatoes IN MY MOUTH!
Transform mealtime into an educational, interactive construction zone! Construction-vehicle shaped fork, spoon, and pusher-scoop set makes learning to self-feed a fun activity.
* All materials FDA-approved, PVC/Phthalate/BPA-free
* Vibrant colors are stimulating and captivating
* An asset in the development of hand-eye coordination
* Dishwasher-safe
* Paint-free, lead-free
Okay, so they were really fishing for product attributes. When lead-free becomes a sellable product attribute for UTENSILS, you know you've hit rock bottom. That said, how much you want to bet that a study comes out soon touting lead is actually beneficial to a child's development? Trust me, these things are cyclical. Also, I make fake studies.
Thanks to Miss Bowser, who feeds her father, King Koopa, with an airplane spoon made from a real airplane.

I am not a nutritionist, but I am not sure if it is wise to teach your children to eat with bulldozers and backhoes.

Actually #2 eating with backhoes is alright, its eating with Black Hoes you don't want you children doing.

What's wrong with Black Hoes? They're more economic than Asian Hoes........and by "economic", I mean cheaper.

@4 & 5
My dad always told me "If it smells like chicken, give it a lickin'. If it smells like cologne, leave it alone."
Color doesn't matter.

@ 6
Is this the same dad you told me f*cked chickens?

@7
Not sure when that may of come up.
Do you remember when that conversation came up?
Are you sure it wasn't some reference to Super Troopers or something?
Or the news man who told the weather man to "Keep f***ing that chicken"?

What is the purpose of the one on the right? I mean, I only eat with my hands anyways so if it is an obvious answer, my apologies.

If it is made in China, the "lead free" attribute is needed.
It also adds to the cost.

Eh, double edged sword on this one. If you feed your kid with toy trucks, what happens when they're playing with their toy trucks in the dirt?
21. Pat - September 28, 2009 3:44 PM
@12 That's what I was going to say! These things looks like they should form Devestator!

I'm not sure I want to listen to my silverware going "Beep, beep, beep" every time I take it out of my mouth, or having the smell of diesel fumes mixed with the steamy goodness of my food.
