Dipping Cover: A Simple Solution to an Age-Old Problem

Posted on by

Presenting a solution to the age-old problem of not having a cup to put dips in when you’re at your local fast food joint: the Dipping Cover.

Dipping CoverDesigned by Bae Su-kyoo and Noh Haeun, the Dipping Cover is basically a plastic cover for drinks that’s been redesigned to have a large indent on the lid, which is where your condiment of choice is supposed to go.

Simply squeeze some ketchup or mayo (or a little bit of both) onto the cover, dip your fries or chips into the mix, and enjoy. Just be sure not to drip any into the straw, or else you might end up with a nasty surprise the next time you sip your soda.

The Dipping Cover is simple yet so ingenious that I’m surprised somebody hasn’t already started manufacturing these lids.

MIT’s LiquiGlide could spell the end of slow-moving ketchup nightmares (video)

ImageA team from MIT has decided to end slow-pouring ketchup problems once and for all with its LiquiGlide project. Instead of karate-chopping the 57 logo on the bottle's neck, a super-non-stick coating is sprayed on the inside of its glass container. It's so good that even highly viscous liquids like ketchup and mayonnaise roll out of the bottle and onto your dinner as if it was water. All the chemicals used are already FDA approved, meaning that it's already safe to be used in food production. If adopted, it'd save around one million tons of trapped sauce from being wasted every year. Since we already have finely-honed ketchup-fu skills, we're hoping the LiquiGlide technique also finds its way into peanut butter jars.

Condiment Shaped White-Out

If you’re one of the eighteen people left on Earth who still actually use a pen and paper to write things down, you know that sometimes you make a mistake and need a little white-out. Why you would want your correction tape/liquid paper/white out/whatever shaped like mayo and ketchup containers, we have no idea. But it is considered, as they say in Japan, kawaii (cute). Or as we say here, weird.
