    My grandson crushes them up with a spoon then rolls dill pickles in the crumbs. Says it is a scrumptious concoction.

    Fritz Haber set out to make fertilizer and use chemistry for agricultural purposes... But ended up using his skills for chemical warfare during WWI, racking up a body count of thousands
    (ETA: and his pesticide was bastardized and used in the gas chambers during WWII.... Which killed Haber's relatives, and sent him into exile for being a Jew.... Oh the irony)

    Ahem. I break Ramen into little pieces and eat it with a spoon. In college, I learned to how take core samples from trees and compare them for climate data. I'd only be a heathen if I confused the Ramen with the core samples. Everyone knows one eats Ramen with a soup spoon and core samples with a runcible spoon.

    my office thought it was more cost efficient to buy a big box of sporks for the break room rather than forks and spoons.
    ..... one of the managers caught me trying to eat ramen noodles with the spork and she laughed.... but now we have forks again!

    theres an Udon noodle place in town. I always use chopsticks when ordering from there. makes me want to buy my own pair to just keep around rather than constantly requesting the disposable wooden ones

    Yeah, sometimes I forget that most of y'all don't live in a restaurant with an endless supply of kitchen wares, haha. Whenever I host company or a dinner party I fill my trunk up with every kitchen gadget you can imagine. One time my aunt was like, where did you get these amazing serving platters, china caps, and stock pots?

    And I seem so normal otherwise, right?

    Part of the problem is we have twice as many spoons as forks. No idea in the world what has happened to all of our forks. Maybe we took the road less traveled and they took the open road when they came to the road divergence in the yellow wood.
