Dressed To Spill It's easy to spot the latest tie trend.

You wear your business lunches well-or, at least, now you can.In an innovative twist destined to keep messy eaters from tyingthemselves into knots of worry, the Dallas-based wholesaler andproduct manufacturing company Venture Initiatives Inc. is selling aline of "pre-stained" neckties.

Pre-stained neckties? We kid you not. Thankfully, the foodstains on these quirky silk ties aren't real-they just appearto be. And with anything from chicken wings and tossed salad towine and a sampling of desserts adorning your tie of choice,you'll never again need fear the dreaded food slippage.

Retailing for $30 apiece, the Tie Cuisine line (complete with anaccompanying recipe packet) is carried by a select number ofrestaurant chains and hotels nationwide. Tie connoisseurs can alsofill up their plates-er, make that closets-by calling VentureInitiatives at (800) 767-3254. Lest you're wondering,these colorful ties can be cleaned. We don't, however,recommend tasting them.-Debra Phillips
