I think I need to keep those away from my kids as well as my brothers and sisters at the family reunion.

The Zing can be put to good use by stretching it out and strangling it’s clever creator to death with the spoon’s mangled spring.

If your dumb enough to buy these for your children, you get what you deserve. Although I can see these being used in many college frat houses. I think they rock, even as a novelty item.

@Polx: yea word– on both comments.

here’s my stink..

1: can it actually be used as a normal utensil or does the neck wibble-wobble back and forth with no support in which to actually EAT food?

2: did someone have so much trouble flinging food from a NORMAL spoon that they needed to put a spring on it?

3: so, you give your child a spring loaded spoon after telling him/her not to fling food in the first place? i mean, assuming you’re doing your job as a parent and are enforcing certain rules (table manners, for instance), I find this to be a complete contradiction.

4: what a waste of materials.. and stop playing with your food for f*ck sakes.

Wow. One of those spoons would be a great addition to my telescoping fork (imagine a car antenna). Now all I need is a knife that does calculus.

Great… turn perfectly harmless food into cornea-scratching projectiles. I wonder how long before this import is banned?

I can’t imagine what people in developing nations must think when they see Westerners wasting food like this. It would make me want to cry… especially if I’d just scraped the last bits of half-spoiled grain together for my children’s one daily meal.

The creators of this product are trying to start trouble. Kids around the world are going to get sent to their rooms by the thousands.

These are probably made in SE Asia.

What parents would buy that for their kids?

Does it not strake anyone as obscene that as food prices sky rocket and the worlds hungry grow hungrier still that the West has spent money and time developing a spring loaded spoon to throw food away?

Yep, I can think of a dozen occasions where that thing would come in very handy!
