austie jonez: I want a tube that I can fill with salad and use a pushup to get it into my mouth. forking salads all day long is lame
mikey: i have been eating salads lately
mikey: but using the pushup approach would be good
mikey: although i fear i would engineer some way to use it without having to do pushups

austie jonez: not a physical pushup
austie jonez: but like a pushpop
mikey: HAH
austie jonez: I little plunger at the bottom to stuff it out the open side and into my magdog mouth
mikey: genius
austie jonez: I should patent that?
austie jonez: SALAD STUFFER (TM)
mikey: that is one of those awesome magical 1950’s spaceage inventions JUST PUSH, NO FUSS, NO MUSS
austie jonez: it answers the question: how can I make salad more like burrito?
austie jonez: see also: spaghetti stuffer
mikey: who doesn’t have that question about everything?
mikey: because what is a more perfect food delivery medium than a burrito
austie jonez: maybe just make it a stuffer.
austie jonez: stuffs EVERYTHING into your mouth
austie jonez: on the commercial you could stuff an entire thanksgiving meal into it
austie jonez: I’m not sure where I’ll find a hot girl to advertise this on tv though
austie jonez: “ZOMG Salad just exploded into my mouth”
mikey: “hey you – hottie, want to be on tv? i’m a producer”
austie jonez: “you just have to eat salad from my tube”
mikey: “thats way easier, and far less sexual than the usual routine of sucking!”
austie jonez: I could get Aerobee to design it
austie jonez: from space age polymers
austie jonez: I’ll get the nobel for health because I single handedly popularized the salad and ended the diabetes epidemic
mikey: who would of guessed that salad popsicles would be the savior of mankind
