If your burrito-wrapping skills aren’t quite restaurant-ready, a group of Maryland college students may have a solution: burrito tape.
Walsh and fellow chemical and biomolecular engineering students Marie Eric, Tyler Guarino and Rachel Nie studied adhesives and worked on a prototype for the entire school year.
Tastee Tape has no texture or taste, Nie said. The students made the tape in strips a half-inch to 2 inches wide, affixed to sheets of waxed paper. To use a strip, you pull it off the sheet, wet it to activate the adhesive and apply it. They declined to say what the tape is made of because they’re working with university officials to apply for a patent.
The students said they aren’t sure if they’ll launch a startup to sell their product -- they’re about to graduate and have jobs and graduate programs lined up. But they said they would be open to selling the patent down the line. After seeing significant interest in Tastee Tape, Nie said she thinks there’s a larger lesson: “Never disregard silly ideas.”
