New York (MYFOXNY) An electronic fork that vibrates when you eat to quickly has hit the marketplace. It's called the HAPlfork. Its makers say it allows the consumer to quickly monitor and reduce the speed at which they eat.

I thought FReepers could use some humor because of all the tragedies of this week. I read this as HAPI-fork, so have at it...

[cripplecreek]

Is that a fork in your pocket or are you spending some quality “alone” time?

[illiac]

Tere may be other uses for a vibrating......fork?

[equaviator]

If my fork should do anything but allow me to move food from my plate into my mouth it should turn into an electric toothbrush...whenever I tell it to.

[Bayard]

In the future, these forks will be fitted with a monitor to the Federal Government which will regulate how fast you can eat, how many times you can use your government mandated fork

This is all for the sake of the children and the planet earth of course.

[Red Badger]

Perhaps they should invent a fork that will bend and let the food fall off when a certain number of calories have been consumed.........

Reminds me of the time my boys offered me some of the pop rocks.

Yeh...They laughed like hell.

I got a vibrating knife that works great on turkey and filleting fish.

Along with the HuffPo article on how Heather Locklear keeps her skin so youthful looking, think I’m gonna have to put this one on the NSFW pile.

And if it malfunctions and starts vibrating uncontrollably, it will be called an Assault fork. Dingy Harry and swine stein will call for a complete ban on these terrible weapons of mass nauseum.

After all it’s for the children.

My dad (fighter jock) said the F101 Voodoo’s stick did this as you approached stall speed. Annoyed the hell out of him till he got used to it.

[JustSayNoToNannies]

I already eat so fast that an ordinary fork vibrates ... so how does this help me?

[faithhopecharity]

Can teleprompters be made to vibrate and emit a warning siren when their text is full of lies?

[laker_dad]

I can tell when I eat too fast. The teeth marks in my palms give it away...

[catnipman]

Personally, I think a strong electric shock would be more effective than vibrating.

Oops. I smell a potential lawsuit.
