The electric pasta fork

I love new gadgets and I also love eating pasta. So, when I saw the electric spaghetti fork, I knew I had to get it. Although it seemed a little expensive at $20, I decided to order it online.

According to the product description, it is a motorized fork that winds up pasta automatically. All you have to do is switch it on, push it into your bowl of pasta and watch it do all the work. It is made of plastic, comes in a variety of bright colors and it is dishwasher-safe.

When the package arrived, I prepared my favorite spaghetti dish and sat down to eat. I enjoyed watching it in action! However, I found that it was very inconvenient to use because I had to switch it off every time I took a mouthful. What’s more, it made a very unpleasant noise. In fact, it was as noisy as a dentist’s drill!

Needless to say, the spaghetti fork was unsuccessful. I haven’t used it again since that day.
