World Clamors For Newly Discovered Talking Food Products!
4/25/2003  New York, NY - Unbelievable but true! A New York based company, Gourmet Impression™ LLC (www.gourmetimpression.com) has developed two new hand-held tools that allow restaurants, caterers, and other food businesses to turn many foods into talking, edible messages. Parties from over twenty-three countries worldwide have been clamoring for these newly discovered talking food products upon availability.

Using the patents pending modular devices called "The Roller"® and "The Stamper"®, companies can emboss their logo or advertising messages on food items. Initial prototypes are designed for pizzas, calzones, bread sticks, cheeses, melons, white bread, pita breads, brownies, pies, butter sticks as well as baked potatoes. The patent pending Stamper tool works like a rubber stamp. It is roughly 4" tall, with modules of varying lengths and widths. By pressing, it easily and quickly embosses a text message or an image into a food item. Everything from personalized 'Happy Birthday' messages to advertisements and company logos can be embossed within seconds. A unique feature of the patent pending Stamper is that it can be adjusted for the depth of the food being embossed; a deeper setting can be used for bread dough, for example, while a shallower setting can be used for cheese. The tool can cut out food at the same time it is embossing. The patent pending Roller device features a wheel that is 6" in diam eter and 3/4" wide, with a fender for gripping. Rolling the tool across many foods, or around the crust of a pizza for example, imprints a customized message. The embossment depth can be altered to fit the food depth. Using the Roller, Gourmet Impression™ LLC envisions the creation of varying shaped crackers and breadsticks they call "Pizzals" (pronounced Peet-sul). The "Pizzals" would carry messages or advertisements and could be dipped in marinara, tomato sauces, or salsas, by customers. Gourmet Impression's brand of food embossing products are simple to use and durable. Their ergonomically modular design will make them popular with chefs and homemakers. They are easily taken apart for cleaning and can withstand the high heat of commercial dishwashers. The products are a great way for a company to add value and branding to their food product - either to reinforce a restaurant's identity or advertise additional products and services in an attention grabbing way. In addition, t.v. and new movie releases ca n now pay to advertise on food products. Worldwide and Master Licensing opportunities exist for these revolutionary products. Gourmet Impression™ LLC is searching for licensing partnerships in all territories and will be exhibiting at "The Licensing 2003 Trade Show" from June 10-12, 2003 at The Jacob Javitts Center, NYC, USA (Booth 1865).
