# Food Fight Weapons The Zing! Launching Spoon By Ayman | Published 2008-02-11 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-fight-weapon-zing-launching-spoon References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/354218/zing-takes-food-fights-to-a-new-level) & [worldwidefred](http://www.worldwidefred.com/zing.htm) Food fights just got a whole lot more fun! To help the less adept food fighter (like me), [Fred & Friends](http://www.worldwidefred.com/zing.htm) developed Zing! food launching spoons. Zing! is spring loaded, producing smoother launches with potential for a lot more power and distance. Load up a particularly mushy pea or corn niblet, aim, pull back the spring-loaded handle, and watch your food take flight. Give this gift to the kids of that extra special friend you want to get back at: he will be thrilled. Hungry for another unique cutlery invention?
