Do you also find it difficult to handle burritos, wraps, and rolls filled with scrumptious fillings? Here's a solution to your messy meal problems!
Four students from John Hopkins University have developed an edible tape to seal wraps and Burritos and prevent their fillings from dropping out.
The all-female team of chemical and biomolecular engineering students has made this edible 'Tastee Tape' to provide relief from this universal issue.According to reports, the tape has prototyped strips measuring half-inch by two inches, that come fixed on a sheet of waxed paper. To use the tape, one needs to remove a strip from the sheet, add some water to it, and affix it to the wrap. 
The team further said that is flavorless, gluten-free, and vegan.
Though the team has not yet disclosed the formula they used for the edible adhesive strips, because they're currently applying for a patent but many can't wait for this game changer idea.
