BALTIMORE (WBFF) — A group of students at Johns Hopkins University has invented an extra for your burrito that might be as good as guacamole.
For Tuesday's Engineering Design Day, students at the Whiting School of Engineering developed an edible adhesive that can strengthen the structural integrity of the notoriously messy burrito, the university said. The students said their invention was inspired by burritos that frequently busted out of their tortillas and onto their laps.
"First, we learned about the science around tape and different adhesives, and then we worked to find edible counterparts," student Tyler Guarino said.
Guarino was joined by Marie Eric, Rachel Nie, and Erin Walsh on the project.
Dubbed Tastee Tape, the "food-grade fibrous scaffold" took months to design. The students said they are considering patenting the invention so the formula will remain a secret formula.
