For those who feel that the act of chewing is too much effort, we anti-celebrate the top five food innovations for the laziest among us.
5. The self-stirring mug. Is lifting a spoon getting you down in the morning? Let the self-stirring mug do the work for you via a rotating part in the base of the cup that creates a small tornado. Nobody should have to mix in their own creamer.
4. The secret to being an eating champion. Apparently, there is none. Professional eater Crazy Legs Conti offered his advice on how to win an eating contest to Wired this month. It doesn't involve extensive training, just picking a food you like and avoiding throwing up.
3. The Cupmen. Human figures designed to fit over the lid and side of your Cup o' Noodles, Cupmen change color in order to reflect the doneness of your Ramen. This is easily the most clever invention on the list; however, it would seem to be slightly extraneous if you own a watch or a phone, or possess the ability to keep time. The reason this is extraneous? When was the last time you noticed anything different about the package of Ramen you ate?
2. The Motorized Ice Cream Cone. Open mouth, stick out tongue, push button. That's the effort required to eat ice cream with the motorized ice cream cone -- a plastic cone that spins the scoop for you. It's not like your tongue is the strongest muscle in your body or anything....
1. The McRib. It's a sandwich from McDonald's, where the boneless rib meat has been formed into the shape of ribs like some sort of pork Voltron. The McRib has been off and on the menu since 1981. So, when you want the appearance of bones but not the pesky job of removing meat that should be tender enough to fall off without chewing, this is your sandwich.

Motorized cone ...
.. man, you still have to wash that stuff and find more storage space to store those stuff after kids will only use it once ...
... I'm ain't green peace, but this is another plain and stupid exemple of how to make this planet a worse place to live. More useless stuff being used ...
Who pays $9.99 for this ? Funny enough, probably people with no money ...

Great list and I love the mention of Crazy Legs but I must say that you've missed quite the tool (although maybe the length of the article takes from the realm of the lazy):

I just had to sign on to comment that "Pork Voltron" is not only an awesome term (kudos to author), but also a great name for a band. [Cf. point #1.]
