Even with easy-tear perforations, single-serve packets can still be frustratingly stubborn, sometimes forcing people to resort to tearing them open with their teeth in a desperate bid for access—and this inspired 'Heinz Grillz,' a stylish yet functional dental accessory.
To protect teeth and help condiment lovers get into the packets they need to enhance their food, Heinz crafted a functional solution from a point of tension. Although the Heinz Grillz aren't up for sale, the designs can be seen on the brand's social media channels. The few who are able to see the up close, in person, will appreciate special details like a silhouette cutout of the brand's iconic packaging, and variants in gold, silver, and colors paying tributes to ketchup and mustard.
