With 66% of Americans using their phones while eating at least one of their daily meals, and facing struggles related to comfort and cleanliness, bibigo came up with "a chopstick made for the digital age," ScrollSticks. These limited-edition, custom-made chopsticks from the brand behind TikTok-viral dumplings were made to offer chronically online consumers a mess-free experience that aligns with the habit of simultaneous scrolling and snacking.
Sporting a dual-ended design, these chopsticks evolve traditional metal Korean chopsticks with touchscreen tips that can be removed for washing in the sink or dishwasher. For a limited time in February, fans can enter for their chance to win a pair of ScrollSticks of their very own.
ScrollSticks are the latest from bibigo’s line of "food-tainment" innovations, following the success of the Dashboard Kitchen.
