Messy Meal Bands

Fusion Brands' thefoodloop Help Keeps It All Together

— March 26, 2011 — Art & Design
If Fusion Brands' thefoodloop existed years ago, I'm sure I would have avoided a lot of embarrassing mealtime moments. This simple yet clever contraption looks like a zip tie that fastens around food to keep it together while being prepared, cooked or even eaten.

Touted as the first heat-resistant silicone food-trussing tool, the Fusion Brands thefoodloop could very well revolutionize the way we interact with certain foods forever. Food-safe and FDA-compliant, it is stovetop-, oven-, microwave-, dishwasher- and freezer-friendly. It is also nonstick and reusable.

Currently, the Fusion Brands thefoodloop is awaiting a patent, but I'm sure that it'll see the light of day soon.
