Utensils give 'playing with food' a new meaning

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 11.25.2007
You can practically hear the shrill "Beeeeeep! Beeeeeeep! Beeeeep!" warning alarm just by looking at this fun flatware.
Designed to look like construction equipment, the utensils — a fork, a spoon and a "pusher" for nudging those pesky peas (we know adults who could use that one) — will get the pickiest of eaters excited about meals.
Each piece costs $3.99 at The Stork's Nest of the Old Pueblo, 6825 E. Camino Principal (at Tanque Verde Road).
