We’re not sure this invention needs to exist, but since it does. The Japanese company Nissin makes instant noodles, like Top Ramen and Cup Noodles. And they’ve invented a NOISE-CANCELING FORK that eliminates your slurping sounds.
The thing looks like an electric toothbrush, but with a fork on the end instead of the brush. And when you use it, it sends a signal to an app on your smartphone to play white noise, which covers up the slurping sounds you’re making.
If you want one, you can pre-order it for the STUPID price of $130. Only 5,000 of them are available . . . but if they manage to sell 5,000 of THIS thing at THAT price, God bless ’em.
