Abstract

An odor-emitting utensil has a feeding part and a handle connected to each other. The handle is a hollow shell with an odor-emitting end at one end. Multiple external vents are formed through the odor-emitting end. An odor module is installed inside the handle. The odor module can emit an odor that increases appetite. By utilizing the interaction of smell and taste, it can maintain or even enhance the flavor satisfaction and pleasure of eating while reducing the amount of salt and sugar used. Since it does not require electronic circuit modules and batteries, the overall structure is simple and lightweight, which can effectively reduce manufacturing costs and selling price, while taking into account the convenience of cleaning and the safety of use.
