Remember the Larry Groce song “Junk Food Junkie”?  That’s pretty much me in a nutshell.  I love chips, cakes, pies, pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, fried chicken, and the list goes on.  Let’s also not forget about the cookies, especially ‘Nutter Butters’ in my book.  Best consumed with an ice cold glass of moo juice.  I call it the epitome of comfort food.

Problem is, I have joined the many in the new to resolve to cut back on junk and even lose some weight.  Eating an entire package of cookies somehow does not fit into this equation.  Second problem is, well, my willpower, or lack therof.

When you eat a couple of cookies, you’re happy.  When you eat several cookies, you end up with the guilty feeling that you just stuffed yourself with cookies.

In comes this new wonderful gadget called “Kitchen Safe”.  What it does is secure the lid on your treat jar in an effort to prevent you from mindless overeating.  Call it a temporary restraining order, I’m sure I could find a hack for it.

It’s like a safe; it has a lock and timer in which you can secure your snacks.  You set the timer as to when the container can be opened again, but it doesn’t do much good if you set the timer to again access the snacks one minute later.

The product can police more than just food. It can store smartphones (if you're attempting a digital detox), cigarettes and even gaming controllers, which, depending on your level of devotion, looks like absolute torture.
