I Tried Eating All My Meals With Edible Spoons, And It Was Devastating
Crumbs. Crumbs EVERYWHERE.
Ever since I found out that Bakeys, a company in Hyderabad is making FREAKIN' EDIBLE SPOONS, I've been trying to get my hands on these bad boys.
The spoons, which garnered quite a lot of interest online, are made of jowar (sorghum), blended with rice and wheat. Bakeys claims them to be 100% vegan, and totally safe to eat. They come in three flavours – sweet, savoury, and plain.

I placed an order for 300 spoons. This was in GODDAMN APRIL. Over TWO MONTHS LATER, I received a shipment of 100 of those 300 spoons.
Upon inquiry, a Bakeys rep explained to me that following overwhelming online interest about the spoons, they received orders for a total of 60,00,000 spoons in a month. They explained that the switch from manual production to machine production to keep up with the demand led to the delay.
So I got a hundred edible spoons, labelled "taste: sweet". No clue where the other 200 spoons are, though.
