    The interlocking fork, knife, and spoon issued by the military work 10 times better than any of these silverware gadgets, and take up very little space. Not sure if they are still in production, but any military surplus store would have them for pretty cheap. Been around for decades, and work awesome.

    As for the crunch cup, rather than adding a lid to it, I'd add a sliding mechanism on it (for both the milk and cereal) to save on space, it also prevent spilling along the way as long as its made well without gaps. That said this would let you control how much milk can come out of the hole by controlling how big it is through the slider.

    I think its the perfect solution as it saves some space needed for a lid and it also solves the milk to cereal portion. Way more manageable and flexible as it can cater to different people based on how they want their portions.

    the measuring flat thing is also just too big to put into seasoning containers to even scoop anything. fails in both aspects. Its only good for pouring seasonings or whatever into it me thinks and thats never fun.

    id also maybe add some grit to the constructable utensils as you said too smooth give the fork a bit of a grippy texture like a fingernail file but finer
    id also give it a pouch rather than a box… however the problem with a pouch is that it will get dirty and if your utensils arent both clean and dry the pouch might start to smell or even become moldy.

    I was legit disappointed the ketchup squeezer didn’t work. I’d love a gadget that helped get as much ketchup out of a packet as possible that is actually well designed. Hate wasting food.

    The main use I would have for the resealer would be to seal up things that had opened up on my way home from shopping. For example the other day I bought a large bag of crisps (sizzling steak wotsits) I did not want to eat them that day but they had opened in my bag so I had to eat them that day.

    I feel like you could save even more room with the Last utensils gadget by making the actual handles themselves collapsible(Think those old Lightsaber toys that had the collapsible blade). I do like the idea of the box just because it seems a bit more clean for storage, it just could be smaller.

    as someone who is currently studying product design, i love watching videos like these and thinking along with the designer looking at the products. it's a great way to think like a designer and think about your own designs.
