Sharp Inventions: Parmesan Pencils

Credit: The Deli Garage

Parmesan Pencils should be manufactured in bulk, like in a 64-pack, à la Crayolas. Because I'll be requiring more than just three.

The cheeses are shaped like oversized pencils, where the “leads” contain three different flavors: truffles, pesto and chili. With the sharpener included, the required amount of cheese can be sprinkled on the dish. A scale on the pencils and on the back of the packaging doesn’t just simply list how much of the Cheese Pencil is needed for each dish, but even how many calories the portion contains.

Unfortunately, only 500 of these were made and they've already sold out. Somebody call Kraft!
