The $200 electric spoon that tricks your brain into tasting more salt is back in the spotlight, and doctors say it could be a game-changer for low-sodium diets. The Kirin Electric Salt Spoon went viral again after TikTok reviewer Classy Bougie Budget shared his experience with the gadget, which uses a tiny electric current to make food taste saltier without actually adding any salt.
According to The Daily Dot, his video, which has racked up over 1.6 million views, shows him testing the spoon on a bowl of bakute, a dish he initially found underseasoned. Instead of reaching for the MSG, he grabbed the Electric Salt Spoon and instantly noticed a difference. “The food tastes so much better,” he said after cranking it up to the highest setting.
