Is your fork getting you down? Maybe you need the Diet Fork.

"The characteristics of the Diet Fork allow dieters to scoop less food during meals."

Is this for real?

The Diet Fork appears to be a plastic fork (10 for $8.95).

The following features will (apparently) lead to weight loss…

  • 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.
Someone tell me this is satire
