Din-ink is so much more than just a pen cap as I'm sure you've noticed. It's pen cap cutlery. Spoon, Fork and knife caps that conveniently fit over the end of your pen so you can do your homework and eat it too! Made of 100% biodegradable and atoxic and packaged in compostable material “the whole set is designed to respect the environmentâ€.
The design tied for first place in Designboom's 'Dining in 2015' contest , so hopefully they will catch on and we can see them soon in a vending machine near you.
