Finally, technology has been put to a good use, and we have to thank a group of engineering students from Johns Hopkins University for doing it.

The group invented what they are calling "Tastee Tape," which is essentially an edible tape designed to keep foods like burritos wrapped for your full enjoyment!


According to Gizmodo, the tape is delivered as pre-cut two-inch strips attached to sheets of wax paper, and simply requires water to fully activate its adhesive properties.

The students also say they are confident their creation "has enough tensile strength to securely contain even the most overstuffed burritos."

The group is mum on the formula for Tastee Tape as well because they are currently applying for a patent.
