Tongue-Loving Utensils

The Lickety Spoon Brings Playfulness to the Dinner Table

— March 13, 2011 — Life-Stages
I don't need to be a kid to want to enjoy a big bowl of chocolate mint ice cream with the help of this Lickety Spoon. I can only imagine how much fun it would be to eat with this tongue-tastic utensil.

Brought to you by the fine folks over at Fred, the Lickety Spoon is something that Gene Simmons would definitely endorse (or perhaps even sue over). Although it might be considered rude to stick out your tongue, especially at the dinner table, you won't be able to do otherwise with this playful piece of cutlery.

Priced at $9.99, the Lickety Spoon is currently available for purchase online at Perpetual Kid. It's the perfect gift for children of all ages (yeah, that includes you).
