Really loved the closing statement
More than a utensil, the Salt Fork is a reminder that life and the best things are temporary. That you too will one day sink your teeth into a piece of steak for the last time. I hope for you that that day is far into the future

Users can choose their preferred intensity from four different levels, said the company, which is moving more into healthcare from its traditional beer business.
The object was co-developed with Meiji University professor Homei Miyashita, who previously demonstrated the taste-enhancing effect in prototype electric chopsticks using currents.
