For many years I have joked about the “spork”. It’s an eating utensil that is basically a cross between a spoon and a fork — thus the “spork”. With all the fast food I have consumed over the years, I’ve probably used a spork more often than actual, metal silverware.

So now there is a story about Panda Express introducing a utensil called “The Chork”. It’s a cross between chopsticks and a fork. Using chopsticks is quite the artform. Once you figure it out, it’s not that tough...but it usually takes some time to learn how use two pieces of wood to pick up your food (without just stabbing it!).

Upon further investigation, I’m finding that “The Chork” may not be the invention of Panda Express. There is actually a website (www.thechork) for the device and you can order them online. The rumor is that Panda Express will start to offer the utensil in their restaurants at some point.

Here is the official YouTube video…

So, it looks like it's goodbye to the “spork” (I think that may be a tear welling up in my eye!), and hello to the “chork” the next time I’m eating Chinese food!

Now, what’s for lunch...
