The Electronic Bite Counter has got to be a modern day torture implement. What's more, it's inflicted on young children.
Parents who buy the device expect their children to wear it so they chew their food enough times. The device beeps after 30 chews. The designers actually expect children to be patient enough to be rewarded with a melody after 1,000 bites! If the kids weren't fussy eaters in the first place, they will be after trying on this contraption!
