Well now we’re getting somewhere! Leave it to the brilliant engineering minds at Johns Hopkins to come up with a solution to eating messy foods like tacos, burritos, gyros, or wraps. Tastee Tape. Edible tape to keep those bad boys together.
Now Lindsey will tell you, when it comes to burritos/wraps/tacos, I am a notorious ‘over-filler.’ For some reason when I’m assembling those items, my stomach takes over the reigns of my brain and I can’t conceptualize that I actually have to, you know, CLOSE the wrap/taco/burrito so that I can eat it. This leads to a very attractive situation where I’ve got ingredients spilling out of the sides, out of the back, I’m getting taco ingredients on my fingers and in my beard, basically you need to get the power washer out to clean me up after taco night.
Well no longer! Now when I overfill I can just just rip off a few pieces of Tastee Tape, keep my taco together, and eat it without having to do laundry immediately afterwards. Science! We can only hope these kids end up on Shark Tank so that can get this marketed and pay off at least 25% of what is most assuredly hundreds of thousands of dollars of student debt. Win/win.
PS: I always thought an interesting Olympic sport would be eating-while-driving. Closed course where you have to navigate around obstacles, keep the car moving at a minimum mph, all while eating different foods. The driver could select what type of food they want to eat, and the higher ‘messy’ quotient it has, the more style points you could rack up. You’d be judged afterwards based on speed, how well you drove around the checkpoints, and also how much food you got on yourself. For instance: If you were able to navigate a lap at Road America, maintaining a speed of 75 mph, all while eating a burrito from Qdoba and not spilling a single refried bean on yourself, that would be a gold medal performance. Like a quadruple axel into a triple salchow.
Anyway, not my best idea, not my worst.
