A simple design that allows the user to eat those tricky last few grains of rice with ease. A straw like implement is held in one hand and one end is sucked while tother end hovers over the intended morsel. A slight flaring at the sucking end prevents rice from painfully slaming into the roof of the mouth/throat by slowing the food down slightly. Minutes of unnecessary rice chasing would be saved with this simple and inexpensive device.-- Yosarian, Jun 18 2003 hollow chop sticks?-- po, Jun 18 2003 Or cook sticky rice with some iron filings and use magnetic chopsticks.
I would suggest picking up your bowl and shovelling the rice in with the sticks, rather than trying to pluck the grains up. (+ anyway)-- Jinbish, Jun 18 2003 's what the natives do.-- thumbwax, Jun 18 2003 I don't see how this "flaring" is gonna prevent you from inhaling rice.-- snarfyguy, Jun 18 2003 random, halfbakery
