You know when your mom would make brownies and she’d make you her little helper? Wasn’t the best part of that whole task not the chocolaty result, but licking the bowl while the brownies baked? I mean, back in the day before anyone cared about raw eggs and the threat of salmonella, your mom would hand you a wooden spoon and let you go to town on that mixing bowl. I never used the spoon though. Sure, you might be able to start out that way, but when it gets down to the last little bits, it’s your trusty index finger all the way.
What if you could lick the bowl without actually licking the bowl, thereby appeasing the fears of all those germaphobics out there? The Finger Food Spoons (Perpetual Kid, $7.99) act as a go-between, allowing you to relive one of your favorite your childhood pleasures while at the same time clearly defining your sophisticated hygienic boundaries. Made of food-safe plastic, these little spoons fit onto the tip of your finger and give you the illusion of dipping your finger into the bowl to have a taste. Packaged as a set of four in varying colors, each member of the family can claim their very own.
I know, I know, this does nothing to alleviate your feeds about raw eggs, but if I were you I’d just suck it up and eat the brownie mix. I mean, people have been doing it for years and they’re fine. I’m not saying you should forgo the baking entirely (although that could be pretty awesome), maybe just live a little dangerously by enjoying a finger spoonful or two.
