Musical Mixing Spoons

Mix Stix Lets You Play Drums While You Cook

— July 15, 2009 — Art & Design
Mix Stix is a hybrid invention that combines music with cooking. While one side is for stirring pots and serving salads, the other end of the sticks can be used for keeping the rhythm going.

Just imagine the noise that will be coming out of your kitchen with these hybrid drum sticks! I have to admit though, that these Mix Stix are absolutely adorable, especially with the cut-out music note on one spoon.

Implications - **Doesn't add value: "I personally think that combining two great ideas is really exciting and fun."
