"There's a greasy phone screen somewhere in your immediate past. Maybe it was a dumpling, maybe it was a bowl of noodles, maybe it was something with a suspiciously orange sauce. Either way, you were eating and scrolling at the same time, and the evidence is still on the glass. Nobody's proud of it, but according to a survey bibigo ran through Angus Reid, 96% of Americans have used their phone while eating, so at least you're in excellent company."
"The research behind the launch is basically a monument to relatable chaos. Beyond the 96% who've scrolled while eating, 66% do it often during at least one meal a day. Nearly three in four people report frustrations: 41% are frustrated by getting their hands or phones dirty, 30% struggle to hold a phone comfortably while eating, and 28% can't keep their screen clean. ScrollSticks are bibigo's answer to all of the above, which is either very clever or a sign of the times, possibly both."
"The design logic is straightforward. You eat with the food end, then flip the chopsticks and use the touchscreen-compatible tips to tap and scroll without transferring dumpling residue onto the glass. The tips work with capacitive touchscreens, so it's not just poking the screen with metal but actually registers as a touch. One tool, two dedicated functions, and your screen stays marginally more dignified."
Most people use phones while eating: a survey found 96% of Americans have used their phone while eating and 66% do so often during at least one meal a day. Many people experience frustrations: 41% report getting hands or phones dirty, 30% struggle to hold a phone comfortably while eating, and 28% cannot keep their screen clean. ScrollSticks are dual-ended chopsticks with touchscreen-compatible tips, one end for picking up food and the other for tapping and swiping. The tips register on capacitive touchscreens. The touchscreen tips unscrew for cleaning, and the metal chopsticks can be washed in a dishwasher or sink.
