Description

  This invention relates to muddlers, and in particular to muddlers that can be eaten after use.

  For example, if you want sugar or milk when ordering hot coffee at a fast food store such as a hamburger shop, a plastic mudler used to stir the hot coffee along with the hot coffee in a paper cup is also provided. The buyer then puts sugar or milk into the hot coffee in a paper cup, stirs it with a mudler, and then drinks the hot coffee.

  The mudler used to stir the hot coffee will eventually be dumped into a plastic waste bin installed in the store. Plastic waste that has been thrown into the waste box is collected by a collector, but Madler is not used for recycling because it uses a small amount of plastic and its recycling efficiency is low, and it is incinerated in a waste incinerator.

  In addition, by forming and baking the powder dough kneaded with starch and seasonings at high pressure, the tray body is formed with a housing wall that forms a housing recess for food seasoned with the sauce, and a plurality of units that are integrally formed with the housing wall And a plurality of liquid reservoir recesses formed between the support portions, food is stored in the storage recess, and is placed on the plurality of support units across the liquid recess. An edible tray has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). In addition, it is proposed to form edible corn cup dough, existing cookies (including tile crackers), rice crackers (such as rice cakes and rice crackers), rice cakes, and corn chips into spoons, forks, trowels, etc. (See Patent Document 2). Furthermore, edible spoons made of materials including corn, whole grain flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, eggs, skim milk, etc. are on the market (see Non-Patent Document 1).
