Flatware Prophylactic

 Keep your fork clean.

A thin covering membrane that slides over flatware to keep your flatware clean. Disposible. Probably quieter and less risk of funny chemical reactions with your tooth fillings. Primary benefit however is that you can just throw them away and save a lot of dishwashing.

       The sheer thought of a spoon condom makes this an excellent idea.

       Might also help with people who stick forks in wall sockets.

       Or just eat with your fingers.

       I'd have to think that putting condoms on all my silverware would take longer than washing a few knives and forks after a meal. Bad idea.

       Ah yes. Prophylactics for my flatware. I must get some of those. I've been wondering where these tiny spoons and forks have been coming from...

       You could always spray them with something which could later be peeled off.

       Or, just buy plastic flatware and toss it after it's used.

       I love this idea, it will help with our under-burdened landfills. Maybe we could roll them off, into the ocean. At least then when fish get plastic stuck in their gills they also get a little desert flavor for their troubles.
