It was an invention that made news around the country, capturing the imagination of burrito lovers eternally tired of messy mealtimes. Tastee Tape<\/a>\u2014an edible, adhesive tape, designed to keep your burrito from falling apart\u2014not only was a stand-out student project at last spring\u2019s Engineering Design Day<\/a>, it also was named one of TIME<\/em>\u2019s Best Inventions of 2022 in the Food and Drink category<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Before settling on their final recipe, the team of chemical and biomolecular engineering undergraduates tested a \u201cmultitude\u201d of ingredients and combinations, ultimately opting for a food-grade fibrous scaffold presented in short two-inch strips affixed to wax paper. Users can peel them off, add water to activate their adhesive qualities, then affix them to their bulging wraps to ensure a tidy repast. Tastee Tape is safe to consume and has the tensile strength you can trust, the students say.<\/p>\n

The invention has been featured in more than 700 global media outlets, including on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/em><\/a> and in Food & Wine<\/em><\/a> and Newsweek<\/em><\/a>, and it even got a shout-out from Michael Bloomberg. The students now are in the process of patenting the technology.<\/p>\n\"Tastee\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
