'''Trongs''' are [[wikt:gripping|gripping]] and lifting [[tool]]s which are made up of three limbs or finger-channels, each with teeth on the end of them. They are generally made of [[polypropylene]] and are disposable.  Trongs are designed for eating finger food such as [[buffalo wings]] and [[bbq ribs]] so that the user doesn't get their fingers messy.  They are used pairs so that the user has one for each hand.  Trongs stand on the table like a [[tripod]] and the user is able to lift them by applying a slight inward pressure.

Trongs were invented in 2007 by Eric Zimmermann and Dan Ferrara of New York<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.trongs.com|title=Trongs Official Site| accessdate=2008-07-07|publisher=PoiDomani Marketing Products LLC}}</ref>.  They decided to invent a device for eating messy food while keeping fingers clean, after not being able to answer a cell phone.
