The Spoonbox: A Brilliant Design for a Dosing Spoon
I'd like to see these made for kitchen klutzes like me
I suck at cooking, make a mess while doing it, and frequently screw recipes up. Whenever something calls for adding a teaspoon or tablespoon of liquid into something, I always spill while attempting to measure it out. Trying to pour a precise amount of liquid into a spoon requires the dexterity of a neurosurgeon, not a coffee-drinking spaz like me.
Well, the liquid dosing problem has been solved by the design team at France-based Stiplastics, a manufacturer of medical devices for the healthcare industry. Check out their clever Spoonbox:

While those of us who don't work in healthcare have likely never seen one of these before, the company sells several million Spoonboxes annually, and has just added a new 2,000-square-meter production facility to meet orders.

Thats some heavy liquid! Whats with the kg measure?
That spoon is used to give medicine to a kid and kg refers to the kid's weight.
Dosing by weight?
I guess you don't have kids Tom.
I do hope that this spoon comes with a cleaning brush as I bet it is a hassle to clean the spoon after usage.
I have fond memories of these as a kid (early 80's). Robitussin was always administered from one like this:
Yeah, this is nothing new. The blue one Ryan shows above is much more common than the one you're showing. Sure it's not as pretty as that one, but it has a small hook which doubles as a stand which is invaluable. If you're trying to give medicine to a child, which can be nearly impossible sometimes, the stand actually allows you to set down the spoon, which you can't do with the one above. The hook also allows you to hook it onto the side of a cup.
