Cookie Box Requires Two to Open - Neatorama

If you are struggling with the temptation to eat cookies too often, or you want to encourage sharing and cooperation in your kids, you might consider a cookie box that requires two people (three hands) to open. Thijs Sondag designed and built this nice-looking box in just that way.

See more pictures of the box and its mechanism, and if you want to build your own, the instructions are at Google Drive. -via Laughing Squid

I appreciate the artist wanting to show off the mechanism, but it would be more effective if it were hidden on the bottom of the lid.

This is both funny, AND it makes you think. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

Attempts at belittling or making light of injustice ANYWHERE is simply unjust.

How about somebody sends this video to the governments that created terrible lives for their population instead of making us feel guilty? Our problems are clearly not equal, but that's just because we've created an awesome society that works.

It does put things into perspective, though. No matter who's fault it is that people live in such awful conditions, I get very tired of people who live a very good life complaining about things that are a product of their wealthy lifestyle.
