Hot Slut Of The Day!
Tastee Tape!
Are you sick of stressing out and developing several gray pubes over trying to keep your burrito intact as you shove it into your eating hole?! I mean, some of us can’t even keep our lives together, how are we supposed to keep a burrito together? Well, the solution has been invented by a team of engineering students at Telma Hopkins University (yes, that’s supposed to be John Hopkins University, but since I always have Gimme a Break! on my mind, I typed it as Telma Hopkins University and it stays). The students have invented Tastee Tape, an edible tape that helps hold together burritos, wraps, gyros, or any other kind of food thing that is like me on any given day (read: falling apart)!
Gizmodo says that the engineering students worked to find the best recipe that can hold food together and also be safe to eat. They came up with Tastee Tape, which they’re trying to patent. If you ever get a burrito from someone who doesn’t know how to fold a burrito right, Tastee Tape can come to your rescue! Tastee Tape can also be used on all sorts of other food items. Tastee Tape is naturally clear but it can be dyed any color. So yeah, brace yourselves for Chipotle-branded red Tastee Tape on your next Chipotle burrito.
Instead of re-engineering the napkin, or developing fabrics impervious to guacamole stains, the team of chemical and biomolecular engineering students have developed a new product they’ve called Tastee Tape. After delving into the science of regular adhesives, the students tested various ingredients and eventually came up with an edible alternative which they’re attempting to patent. That means they’re not ready to share the exact ingredients list just yet. But they can confirm it’s made from additives already used in many foods, and is completely safe to consume.
The product is delivered as pre-cut two-inch strips attached to sheets of wax paper, and using a piece simply requires water to be applied to fully activate its adhesive properties. The students are confident their creation has enough tensile strength to securely contain even the most overstuffed burritos, but the applications potentially go much farther than just fragile wraps. Amateur bakers could use Tastee Tape to repair or reassemble a crumbling cake, and the potential to fix other culinary fails in the kitchen is staggering.
Tastee Tape also makes that burrito look like a cute, little sophisticated clutch. So if you’re going to a formal event where you’re afraid the food will be trash, simply carry an elegant Tastee Tape-secured burrito clutch with you and if you get hungry, you can gobble it up. FINALLY, humanity has proven that we’re good for something!
