The Red/Green Light Fork

This fork has a green and a red light. When the green light is lit you can eat. Then, the fork senses that you have eaten something so it makes you wait a while (red light). Tick-tock tick-tock Green Light!

This might not be a bad idea but I doubt it would work for me. I would just put more food onto the fork each time and shovel it in my mouth.
