Trongs

Trongs

Trongs are and lifting tools which are made up of three limbs or finger-channels, each with teeth on the end of them. They are generally made of polypropylene and are disposable. Trongs are designed for eating finger food such as buffalo wings and bbq ribs so that the user doesn't get their fingers messy. They are used pairs so that the user has one for each hand. Trongs stand on the table like a tripod and the user is able to lift them by applying a slight inward pressure.

Trongs were invented in 2007 by Eric Zimmermann and Dan Ferrara of New York [cite web|url=http://www.trongs.com|title=Trongs Official Site| accessdate=2008-07-07|publisher=PoiDomani Marketing Products LLC] . They decided to invent a device for eating messy food while keeping fingers clean, after not being able to answer a cell phone.
