We all have our eating quirks, and a common one is a belief that food should stay separate on the plate. Mixing peas and mashed potatoes or rice with beans are common food combinations but not to these picky eaters. Enter the company ‘Food Cubby,’ dedicated to ‘keeping food in its place,’ with innovative BPA- free, silicone dividers that fit on any plate so that your grub will never fraternize again – well until it goes in your stomach.

Sold on Amazon in packs of two, the Food Cubby offers a choice of orange or green and includes two different sizes to assure that it fits on any of your dishes. The site says it not only works as a divider but also “as an ‘edge’ to push food onto a utensil, without fingers. ”

So often getting kids to eat is a battle that parents go through. They have to come up with creative methods to make food seem more appetizing, but the sleek, smooth, plates and clever suction plate design is guaranteed to be kid-friendly, maybe because the original Food Cubby was invented by one. However, the company notes that this is perfect for all ages, “Good for special needs, elderly, vision impaired, and occupational therapy needs at mealtime.”

Food Cubby can even help make sure you are eating healthier. This mealtime helper can hold 1/2 cup of food within its walls which can help with portion control and nutrition. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends your plate include lots of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains, with quarter portions of each.

For some people, this invention is more than a cool new utensil but a necessity. Brumotactillophobia is a phobia that can lead to picky eating and can also be a mild form of OCD. The condition normally causes people to eat their food in a particular order, and in turn prefer their food to be kept separate.

The Food Cubby has already received overwhelmingly good reviews

I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks. When the workday winds down, you might catch me devouring bamboo snacks while binging on the latest TV show, gaming or I could be out in nature, soaking up the tranquility and communing with my inner panda.

What do you think ?

Oh come on, this is a) just plain advertising, b) unnecessary plastic stuff (get a bowl or second plate for pete's sake) and c) a strange standard of keeping everything clean and presentable. People who need this product probably also have problems touching raw meat or - god forbid - cleaning a fish.

I hate when my foods are touching (i doubt this would help because it then the two foods are touching the same thing. I need a space between all foods) but i fish regularly, gut and clean the fish.) I have also killed a few chickens (in a humane way) in Italy when visiting my relatives. I have no problem doing dirty work. It just annoys me when my foods are touching.

And it's not like you are reducing the number of plates in the dishwasher, these little darlings will have to go in too.

Maybe I am odd, but I love to get a little of all it on one fork/spoon and enjoy the fusion of flavors.

I like to control how much I get of each on my fork at a time. Just to keep the individual tastes and textures seperate when I want. My Ex - I used to cook and serve up a beautifully presented meal. He would just cut it all up and mix it together. I could have just given him a plate of slop.

YES! My friends who may need this think that I display weird behaviour when I am OK with my food touching. Just watching food somehow manoeuvre around the plate to the complete opposite side is ok. It just has great flavour combinations. "Lizzie, what is wrong with you?" I have a friend who has to organise her plate before she eats...lol.

I do that too but on the plate everything has to have its place, so I can pik one/ a bit of each on the fork. My husband is laughing at me because the first thing I do is sort my food (when there are multiple things in one mix)

If you are serving your pasta with sauce(main dis) with your fruits(decert) in the same plate,, you have to reconsider how you treat yourself instead buying stupid plastic
