Smart Chopsticks,

I had never heard of them, 

so I thought I would have a look, in the past few years, food contamination scandals have alarmed people in China, in response, the company Baidu has developed chopsticks that test for purity when food is touched on the tips of the chopsticks the content of the food is measured, the chopsticks are linked to a smartphone app, they provide data about the oils detected in foods, the chopsticks can determine whether the oil is fresh or recycled--the latter of which may be toxic, Baidu says that it's chopsticks will be also be able to determine the PH levels in food and the calorie values which is great, but I could not help thing of a Little Britain sketch, the waiter brings your food, you test it and turn to the waiter, 'the chopsticks says no' I should mention that a price tag for the chopsticks hasn’t yet been announced, and the company said the product isn’t yet ready for mass production, but who knows smart chopsticks could be here soon.
