About Spoon Tástáil Toirchis

Is tástáil toirchis aon-úsáide í an Spúnóg atá deartha lena húsáid sa bhaile. Faigheann an fhoirm inspioráid ó spúnóg, le cruthanna beaga boga agus dromchla níos leithne sa cheantar lámhaltais. Tá gach imeall cruinnithe chun cuma chairdiúil a thabhairt di, ó tharla go n-úsáidtear an tástáil ag nóiméad príobháideach agus mothúchánach. Tá an ceantar greama claonta agus méadaithe chun eirgeanamaíocht níos fearr agus úsáid intuigthe a chinntiú. Tomhaiseann an Spúnóg 130 x 25 x 10 milliméadar agus meáchan 14 ghram atá inti. Tá an corp déanta as bithphlaisteach instealltha chun an lorg carbóin a laghdú, agus tá tiús gach comhpháirte calabraithe chun ábhar a shábháil.
