Kitchen safe or food clock against gluttony

David Krippendorf a chocolate-mad designer from San Francisco has invented a clever contraption to stop weak-willed dieters dipping into the biscuits and crisps – The Daily Mail wrote.

The Kitchen Safe is a plastic container with a lid that locks into place using small prongs.

The lid stays locked for a set length of time – from one minute up to 10 days – and can't be opened until the timer runs down. The 39-year-old came up with an innovative idea that would keep his favourite treats locked away until after dinner.

To curb his cravings David places cookies, chocolates, sweets or crisps into the box and enters the desired time setting.

The plastic box will then only open when the countdown has ended – even removing the batteries won't release the lid. (MTI)
