It's a plate with a kitchen towel built into it -- kind of.
The "AbsorbPlate" is a new invention by ad agency, BBDO Bangkok, and the Thai government health board. The ordinary-looking dinner plate claims to soak up to about 7ml of oil, or 30 calories on average, from every meal that sits on it.

The product is part of the Thai government's efforts to combat the country's obesity problem.
Thai cuisine is known to be cooked with huge amounts of oil. A study published by the Thailand Business Newslast year showed that Thailand is ranked second in Southeast Asia for its high obesity rates.
BBDO Bangkok told Mashable the plate has already been launched as a trial, and thousands of plates have been distributed to local restaurants.
This is one plate we're eager to have at the dinner table.
