Recently I came across a new product, The Diet Fork ($8.95 for 10 - buy it here [1]), which is supposed to help one eat slower while simultaneously burn more calories. Here's how:

• Shorter and dulled teeth inhibiting user from grasping larger pieces of food at any one time.
• Smaller triangular shaped surface area allowing dieter to hold less food than many other forks.
• Uncomfortable grip compelling user to put fork down between bites, slowing the user's eating speed.

OK, so basically it's a broken fork that makes it hard to eat. Sound incredibly frustrating to anyone else? I'm curious what you guys think, is the Diet Fork cool or not?

(Oh and sorry for the lame image, but that is all they had on the Diet Fork site [2].)
