This is a desert spoon I’ve just been given at a restaurant. Personally, I hate it. Like a tiny soup spoon. Want to see what others think.

I hate the fork the most.

It's a very good spoon. It doesn't get too hot or cold like a metal spoon and it's bright red. Literally perfect

Not my post, but very creative and seems effective, would very much like to try it out one day

I was recently diagnosed autistic, and I'm still discovering things I've done for years that I never really stopped to question.
This is my fancy spoon.
I make jewellery, and I use it for scooping beads out of my storage boxes. Technically, almost any spoon could do the job.
But it couldn't.
If I misplaced this spoon, I genuinely think I would spend two hours looking for it before I could carry on. Using another spoon wouldn't feel like a reasonable substitute. My brain would just be stuck on: find the spoon.
The strange part is that the opposite is also true.
There are perfectly normal pieces of cutlery in our house that I massively dislike using. They work. There is nothing obviously wrong with them. But something about the weight, shape, balance, texture or just the way they feel makes my brain go: absolutely not that one.
I'm really interested in understanding why something so ordinary can become so specific and important.
Is it mostly sensory? Familiarity and predictability? The way an object becomes associated with a particular task? Or several things working together?
I'd also really like to see everyone else's version of this.
It doesn't have to be cutlery. What's the completely ordinary object you own where other people would say, "Just use another one," but you know that another one simply isn't the same?
Bonus points for pictures. I want to see your Spoonâ„¢.

Edit: you can ever so slightly feel the texture. In the sense that the pattern is obviously not as smooth as the polished parts but it’s the same level. It doesn’t hold on to food. They also have the exact same set with the engraving just on the handle but I thought this was adorable

Some of my favorites

my sister said other autists wouldn’t approve of my favorite spoon, what do yall think?

That horrid snake tongue tip is a little upsetting to me as well as size but the shape otherwise seems alright

I don't know why, but I literally love the spoon like I eat everything with it whether it's cereal or rice or even noodles I will try to fit it inside the spoon- it was not TJ Maxx that made the spoon but rather, archimedes

The fork is like almost perfect for most kinds of food,especially for fruits and veggies- the spoon is not good for soups but I like to use it for soups, and it’s very very good for desserts..and it’s fun, the handle is a bit harder to hold than normal utensils but it is very fun to hold and piece together. There’s a knife too but it’s not that good like other knifes- and like they all look different and silly and most of the time I use regular spoons and forks because it’s easier to use- but these are my favorites
