An odd invention in Korea has caught the interest of many, but is it necessary?
This weird creation, known as ‘Trongs’ has been designed for lovers of hot chips, and are plastic finger covers that Koreans wear when they eat chips.
The Trongs are seen as more hygienic and also eliminate sticky, greasy fingers and the need and waste of napkins.
But are they really necessary? What do you think? Would you use Trongs?

That is amazing I would use them because it would mean I wouldn’t have to go to the bathroom before I eat and after .
no not really!!!!
I wouldn’t use them. I like eating with my fingers, licking the salt off my fingers
I think theses are a great idea because chips get so messy and then you have to go and lick your fingers and thats just yuck
I would yuse trongs becauz they’re hygienic and don’t make your fingers grea c
BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think its cool
weird and very weird
I say I would never use them. They’re weird and they’re not that necessary to use. Just saying.
I say they’re weird to use and aren’t necessary. That’s why we have taps people! Just saying.
maybe
thats really weird tongs for chips
i have mixed feelings about this
I wouldn’t use them. there is just no point. just a waste of money.
WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Looks great
I think this is a good idea, it means that you don’t have to use more napkins or have any greasy fingers or sauce on your hands…
I guess you could also use them for chicken nuggets potatoe fritters or even greasy fryed fish!
Imagine not having to use a knife and fork at the table when you could use your fingers instead, when wearing trongs!
I think it is a cool invention but it is a little unnecessary.
that is crazy and weird and awesome at the same time
Wow I like chippy fingers
i would use them that’s just a little bit to weird for me
Nah man fingers all the way 😀
Just Absoluty Crazy
That’s A good Idea but I like using My fingers so no Thanks cool though.
i would not use them.whats the point anyway.We already have knifes and forks and napkins even though i dont use them but still!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
odd!
that is surprisingly a good idea
I would probably use chippy fingers! 🙂
cool
YEAHHHH
I agree with kheej
Umm ok good idea but if it is to hot to hold in fingers then it will be to hot for your mouth
Dont see the point. Dont eat hot chips much. Those peeps just want money.
I personally think that’s a genius idea!! I would definitely use them but probably just switch back to using my fingers occasionally. Another reason why it could be useful is if they are HOT chips! Great Idea Korea!!
