Allergen sensor to revolutionize the way we eat?

Allergen detector

I doubt it, but it could at least help, right?

This little “allergen detector” is supposed to test for milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy. Those are the top 8 items that make up 90% of all food allergies.

“The Nose” is just a concept at this point and isn’t actually developed yet. I can’t help but wonder how many people would actually use it, though. Most of those allergies are ones that can be life threatening.

Are you willing to risk using a handheld device to tell you if your chef dipped the tomato soup ladel in the seafood chowder one first, if you’re deathly allergic to shrimp? Probably not. Because if all it takes is a trace, do you really think a sensor is going to pick up such a minute amount? Eh. Maybe one day.

Bet you can’t eat just one

And I bet you even more that you can’t just dip your pinky in when nobody is looking.

I wish I had the guts to climb right into a chocolate fountain like that. Everything society has taught me says that it’s inappropriate, but come on, it’s chocolate.

Warm chocolate.

Warm, melted, ooey gooey, liquid chocolate that is flowing in a way that you could drink it….or shower in it.

Or well, both. If you’re going to break the rules, might as well do it all, right? Go big or go home.

Can I get this in waterfall size, please?

~Edit~ This was too convenient. This gif explains exactly how I would feel after….except I would have chocolate all over instead of just my mouth.

Making sandwiches is serious business

So after posting the complaint about Subway’s method of making sandwiches, I figured that would be the last time I posted about how to put together a sandwich. After all, to each his/her own, right?

But this is kind of genius.

One piece of circular deli “meat” is rarely enough, but if you put on two, then you’re left with cornes of chewy crust without any filling.

Slice each in half and cover all your bases, though? Success!
