Next breakthrough in eating utensils: will it happen in your lifetime? (1 Viewer)

[sports_fan]

Will we see a revolutionary new eating utensil break into the big 3 of spoon, fork and knife?

Although, maybe it's not a good idea to think about it too much. I know that for many of you increasing your eating efficiency further would be a catastrophe...

Spork down?

 

[Rove!]

Is the Spork down?

Spork down?

Spork use would have to be up, I think. They are sometimes sold in dollar stores. Taco Bell has sporks.

For best efficiency it would seem it would still need to be at least a pair for cutting,  scooping and such. Perhaps a spork in one hand and the spife in the other.

Funnel down?

I have a spork with a serrated handle. What's that called?

Shiv.

I'll speak up for the apple corer.

Why can't we do this with steak or potatoes? One slice that's all, and BAM, there it is, your food all cut up, no slicing, no dicing, use chopsticks from there.

Pretty sure what you described is slicing and dicing.

Gonna be hard to dethrone the knife fork spoon triumvirate..

Fritos Scoops have already arrived, gentlemen. 

 

[Mister CIA]

Feed bag, that's the direction we're going.

When I was a kid we used a stick and a rock, and we liked it.

Utensils are an unnecessary waste of resources which contributes to either wasting water or filling up our landfills.  In the future we will learn to eat like the piggies eat.

I think we devolve into no utensils. The fat ####s that are taking over this country don't need utensils to eat pizza, fast food, gas station snacks, etc. 

Mexicans don't use utensils much. Neither do Asians. I imagine Africans do not use forks and knives either. The rest of the world outside of privileged Europe and North America eat with their hands.

This thread is triggering me.
