TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Students invent genius solution to your messy burrito problem

This is a classic “how has someone not invented this yet?!” story. Well, now they have.

Your messy lunches eating burritos or wraps are about to be a thing of the past thanks to a group of brilliant chemical engineering students at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. They are creating something called “Tastee Tape”. Essentially it’s an edible adhesive that holds the burrito together.

They were inspired by their own experience of making a mess every time they would eat lunch. Since they are applying for a patent they wouldn’t give the secret ingredients out. But they apparently are all safe to consume, food grade, and “common dietary additives”.

This sounds like it would be a good invention to test too. Thank of all the burritos you get to eat!

I can’t wait for this to hit the market. Head here to see what it looks like
