We've had them for perhaps two decades. Most likely longer than that. It ain't new!

I've seen sporks since I was in elementary school way back in the early 80s. Those things are old news. In the attempt to make the best of both worlds, the managed to get the worst. The prongs are too short and the holes make it a horrible spoon.

I think we've all seen plastic sporks, but I for one have never seen spork silver, like the one in the picture.

Yeah, I've never seen a metal spork, either. I always thought of them as a disposable item... :-)

The one in the picture is titanium... Check the website. It's also supposedly high-tech

Actually, it looks like lead, much like something some southern colonial would eat with. I wouldn't buy the titanium gig.

Soon to be followed with the highly collectable Spork of the States. A 50 spork set with an emblem of each American state.

I think I once had a metal spork that came with an outdoors meal kit.

Anyone else think that Spork is one of those words that, when it's said to much, looses all meaning and becomes really funny?

*imagines an episode of Space Ghost where Zorak keeps shouting out "Spork!" in the background*
