Since you probably don't feel awful enough while eating chocolate cake, the HAPIfork is here to make you feel worse. At least that's the general consensus about the high-tech, bulky utensil that vibrates and flashes when you eat too fast, the Los Angeles Times reports.

It's intended to work by the Pavlovian principle, but I don't think zapping you for the rate at which you eat will be helpful.

Short of zapping you every time you eat any food, there needs to be a better way of limiting overall intake.
