Warwick students react to the selfie spoon
The selfie stick – the gadget that enables you to take the perfect picture of yourself – has officially acquired a cooler, even more pointless sibling: the selfie spoon.
This latest invention allows selfie and food enthusiasts to combine their interests in a single shot; one end being a spoon, the other a camera holder.
