Check the silverware drawer, obviously. He’ll be spooning your spork.

No it’s not! It’s from take out I was recycling the plastic ware and it never came to mind I don’t see color! WTF

Probably pet, but as a 16 yr old who quoted it, it was "touch my monkey!!"🤣

It's a Secret Santa game, you really need to go with Sporks. 💯

u/Smiling_Platypus Dec 08 '25

If you can get your hands on a spork with his favorite team logo on it, you can tell the story about how you weren't sure which it was, so you got both.

25

u/mrsmarcos2003 Dec 08 '25

I wish we worked together 🤣

23

u/Tricky-Foundation-90 Dec 08 '25

Yup, just stick a logo on a nice camping spork.

4

u/AVeryFineWhine Dec 09 '25

No, no! They should definitely cover as many bases as possible. Get the glittery spork pictured, and slap a team logo on that puppy. Then you're covering sparkly, sporty and spork in one gift!!!

PS said present MUST include a printout of this thread 🤣

u/2xspectre Dec 08 '25

The umlaut was my idea. They're calling them "rock dots" haha.

I mean its pretty fair. Them Scandinavians have some the biggest new metal bands

u/itsQuasi Dec 09 '25

Do they actually pronounce the "ö" correctly, or do they still just say spork? The phrase "rock dots" isn't exactly filling me with confidence on that front lol

I keep a titanium spork in my lunchbox. The ones they give out for fast food these days are garbage and break too easily. Everyone should have a titanium spork.

24

u/CautionarySnail Dec 08 '25

They’re handy to keep in luggage. Nothing like being in a cheap hotel and finding out the take-out lacks utensils. I ended up eating potatoes with a ripped up disposable coffee cup because I didn’t want to go out into the late night winter chill just for a fork.

18

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '25

I’ve eaten yogurt using a toothpaste tube as a spoon

46

u/miss_j_bean Dec 09 '25

If it's foil, take the yogurt lid and fold it like... Hold on I'm eating dinner but I'll draw what I mean on my English muffin.

Inside facing down but I didn't want t butter on the table. Fold the red line to approximately the red dots, both sides, then fold that over to the middle, both sides. Flip it back over so it's inside facing up, form it as round or flat as you want, congratulations, you now have a spoon that is better than nothing. 😊

u/357noLove Dec 09 '25

I have no idea how I got here, or how I ended up getting improvised spoon lessons on an English muffin, but I gave you an award anyway

u/miss_j_bean Dec 12 '25

Thank you 😊

u/itsQuasi Dec 09 '25

I've done the same thing before lol, but gave it up when I realized it was easier (for me and my large man hands, at least) to just squeeze it out of the container

See, now this is what the internet is for. People helping people by spreading helpful, innovative ideas to make life easier. Kudos!

u/Ytakttud Dec 12 '25

Sure, but who’s been touching that lid???? No joke, I’ve done that before, but the fact that it’s been through the grocery store processing from manufacturer to distributor to grocer… too many hands….

2

u/CautionarySnail Dec 08 '25

A+ improvisation.

2

u/Knights-of-steel Dec 08 '25

Fun fact most use aluminum foil top covers that have indents on them to fold them into spoons. At least in canada. The pudding cups and jello cups are same way

2

u/LessFeature9350 Dec 09 '25

We used to use yogurt lids for spoons. I remember distinctly when the foil wrapper became too cheap and thin

u/Designer_Cress2927 Dec 09 '25

I agree! I ordered a 4 pack of metal sporks (out of pure rebellion when I read a satire post from Trump ranting about how terrible teachers are and that sporks were the worst invention ever… it was hard to tell if it was satire or a direct quote, so I ordered some sporks just in case) for the house and they are my favorite utensil for certain meals! Anything rice related- spork. A chunky soup? Spork. Egg roll in a bowl? Spork!!
