So, I ‘had to’ order some stuff on the internet a while ago, and if you’ve never visited The Museum of Useful Things, I highly suggest you do. They don’t have a large inventory, but the things they have are pretty splendiferous. Stuff made of metal and canvas and grommets and such.
I bought some things that I needed, but on impulse I also ordered a combination spoon/fork. It arrived today, but ‘spork’ is a word too lowly for this beautiful, gadget-y thing.
“Foroon” sounds much better. I christened it by eating ice cream with Grasshopper cookies mashed in.
Verdict: The bowl of the spoon is a bit too deep for ice cream consumption, but I will totally keep it in my bag in case of an eating emergency.
Brad says
It looks like a ninja weapon. How do you say “Death by spoon” in Japanese?
Lauren says
supun niyoru shi (It won’t let me show the Japanese characters.)
Deanne says
It does! lIKE SOME LIKE OF chinese star. (im having a little trouble with my caps key)
Peggy says
Yup…keep it in your purse as a weapon! I can just see those prongs being jammed in some assailant’s throat! You should repackage it and sell it as such.
Gretchen says
I picked up a couple of those for stocking stuffers -- but they are made of bamboo so they don’t look quite so dangerous.
Lloyd says
The bamboo ones would seem even more dangerous to me. I can’t help thinking about pandas with weapons.
Kristi says
Have you not seen the movie “Kung Fu Panda”?
Lauren says
Dang. Those look pretty good -- and are probably better for ice cream, too. Double dang.
