Heinz Makes Spoon-Shaped French FriesGizmodo introduces us to this revolutionary new French fry shape. The Heinz Company’s British division is, for the next week, offering the lucky winners of an online contest French fries that are shaped like spoons. This shape allows users to scoop up more ketchup (and thus encouraging them to buy more Heinz ketchup) with each French fry.Although I prefer sour cream on my fries, I’m intrigued by this design option. Just like scooped tortilla chips, these fries are designed to reflect how eaters actually use these food products, rather than forcing us to adapt to how the products are manufactured. Thanks to innovations like this, it will be easier for us to shove more food into our maws.#FrenchFries #Spoons #HeinzKetchup

Why Bar Spoons Are Shaped Like SpiralsBar spoons and other tools of the bartender’s craft are specialized instruments with designs that have evolved over centuries. The long, narrow spoons used to stir cocktails sometimes have spiral shafts. Why? Master (and, in fact, champion) bartender Kaitlyn Stewart explains that the spiral shaft helps bartenders pour layers into cocktails—especially carbonated drinks. The surface helps carbonated drinks retain that carbonation and not fizz over.I’m going to guess that has something to do with the increased surface area that a spiral necessarily has. The adhesion of the water to the spoon would help control the descent of the liquid into the glass.-via Laughing Squid#bartending #cocktails #spoons #KaitlynStewart
