diet innovation

This is an actual patent that was filed in 1980. Guess that was before we knew about low carb diets.

An anti-eating face mask which includes a cup-shaped member conforming to the shape of the mouth and chin area of the user, together with a hoop member and straps detachably engageable with a user's head for mounting the cup-shaped member in overlying relationship with the user's mouth and chin area under the nose thereby preventing the ingestion of food by the user. I love the helpless blinking of the model when the hoagie bumps against the mask.
