There’s a new fork on the block that’s perfect if you want everything you eat to taste like ham. It is forking ridiculous but despite being in my late 20’s, I love the straws that turn milk into flavored milk as you drink them, so I can kind of see where they are coming from. I guess it’s the same concept as bacon-flavored toothpicks.
This is the deal - the ‘hamork’ contains ham flavor from tip to prong. So ANYTHING you eat comes tinged with a hint of pork. Vanilla flavored spoons for ice cream and potato knives are also in the planning stages.
