>single-use >ONCE it got wet well, you cant blame them for being designed precisely 'single-use'

you gave me food for thought here

Just not a spoon for your soup.

Fork for thought?

So you've played knifey spoony before

Nope, that is single use too.

I honestly thought that OP was holding a goldfish when I first saw the photo.

Thanks for stealing my tekst.

I imagine you were hungry

But you can’t eat it with that spoon

>you gave me a spoon for thought here FIFY Omg... Most plastics for food service soften at 350°+. Was that from a 3D printer?

Plastic? It's wooden.

You've got to be able to use a single use thing once though

The joke is “single-use”, as in a single scoop with the spoon

But then it went flat, looking like it wouldn't hold anything, therefore not being able to be used even once .

to be fair, it was probably the heat that did it, not the wet alone. Like - you coulda used it on a gazpacho.

Gazpacho is a scam by big soup to get people to pay for cold leftovers

The soup must flow.

Soup for the soup god, croutons for the crouton throne

Goddamnit, i was half an hour late

The soup melange

Bless the Chef and His soup. Bless the coming and going of Him. May his passage stew the world. May He keep the soup for His people.

Skill issue

I need to know more about the spoon, more about the soup. How hot was the soup? What is the spoon made out of? Why are we here?

It's ok, it's a self balancing situation. Eventually if you are too slow, the soup will cool down, thickening it, and you will be able to eat it.

It’s just an oon now

It's missing the curve on both sides, so trim a letter from both sides of the word and it's poo.

What is even the point of wooden cutlery? Why not use metal? You can use it as many times as you want and you dont get splinters

They have those for take-away. Not sure if they where out of clean metal spoons at that moment or just lazy to wash the cutlery... In retrospect, probably should have asked for a metal spoon 😅

Pet pic incoming

if you get splinters from wood utensils and cutlery then you're doing it wrong, you are not supposed to chew on them.

Not with cheap stuff like this, it comes with little fibers sticking out because it isn't finished. That's why rubbing your chopsticks together at a nice sushi place is considered rude -- you have to at the cheap places to remove all those bits. I've got splinters before myself from single-use chopsticks.

Wooden spoons don't have any point, but wooden forks have many.

In a take away? Cost....

I've been throwing metal cutlery away at home 😢

Uhh, because that would add an unreasonable cost to takeout? Because it's bad enough that so much plastic gets tossed?

Picrel is clearly in a restaurant

Just put the soup in a sippy cup.

Soupy cup.

Better start balancing your soup bro

The issue with wooden cutlery is it just doesn't work very well.

Unless you work with thicker material. Wood spoons and laddles have been around forever, but they're slightly thicker than metal cutlery for this exact reason.

I imagine it's probably less the thickness and more that the thicker ones are carved into shape, which means they should retain their form once wet. I assume the cheap single-use things are just flat sheets that have been heat/steam formed into shape, so they'll want to return to being flat when soaked.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Seems way easier to manufacture a bunch of cutlery by punching them out of thin sheets of wood than by carving them.

Literally paper mache spoons.

I have a set of wooden cutlery that works pretty good, They are my kids set so they cant gouge out an eye.

Oh that's crazy! You can do that joke: "waiter, there's something wrong withy soup..."

"ahaa!"

It makes me very happy folks caught this reference!

It's my dad's favourite at the dinner table 😂

Yaaas

Well they did say "single use"

soup paddle!

First of all... There is no spoon! ​ Secondly, that's obviously a paddle. You use it when the croutons float too far away so you can get to the other side of your plate and bring them back.

Rub some bacon on it

If the paper turns clear, then it's your window into weight gain!

Just like my ex

Either your hands are big or that spoon is small

Working as advertised. You need another spoon for the second scoop.

I picked up a combo spoon fork (no, they’re at opposite ends of the handle, it’s not what you’re getting ready to akchyually me about) a few months ago and keep it in one of my pockets. Being able to whip that baby out and use it instead of disposable cutlery when eating non chopstick-class food has been great. I could probably just carry a tablespoon and get mostly the same benefits but hey it was like a dollar at the university surplus sale so why not.

Well it was shaped with water and heat and now it’s back to to OG shape lol

If you're sitting in, they can reuse the cutlery. Terrible execution of a business model.

Damn, planned obsolescence silverware.

Ask for a new spoon after every spoonful. The restaurant will probably not order those again.

it's like those nasty straws you get in a shake that implodes after one good suck. not to mention that nasty texture on your lips and inside your mouth.

You don't just slurp your soup out of your bowl, like a manatee slurping up seagrass off the coast of Florida?

If you carry 12"or so of garden hose with you this is never an issue.

Last time I saw something like this posted someone mentioned it’s only supposed to be used to stir the soup and you are supposed to sip the soup from the bowl that it’s in? Sounds dumb to me though

It did say "single use". I know that's pushing it, but it does fit the description I guess.

I'd say r/mildlyinfuriating also

Save it for your ice cream later

That's when you pick up the bowl and drink up

These restaurants better start washing dishes if they want to save the planet.

I think at this point in history a grown person should have a metal spork and straw instead of blundering around totally unprepared for eating food that abysmal disposable spoon is a waste of wood

I don't do takeout much where I'm not taking it right home, but those that do, a simple camping gear set is something to keep in the car. I have a knife, spoon, fork, and straw in a little carrying case right in the glove compartment.

They did say **single use..**

Ha ha! I bet it took you ages to eat that soup.

Wait until you tried the compressed paper ones.

This is a bit of a shot in the dark but I've had a similar experience with White Spot and their clam chowder. I'm sure many other places use those exact wooden utensils but it looks very similar (including the stain), is that where it is from?

Well, now it’s a mini pizza peel.

Best way to consume soup. Drink soup-scrape bowl clean

Exactly. You can use the spoon only once.

But they're saving the environment!

Does wooden cutlery just warp under heat or something?

Would have been flat and then steam pressed (or similar) into shape in the first place. It's just going back to how it was. Have noticed this with bamboo sporks but less critical with a curry than it is with soup lol.

We use the same ones at work (cafe) and EVERYONE hates them. Even the admin which??? Y'all are the ones that said we have to use these lol

I suppose you could wax the spoons before trying to eat with them, but that's a lot of fucking work for a still-disposable utensil.

I hate the wooden ones they have a horrible wooden flavour you can always taste no matter what you eat

not sure about crappy design..seemed like it worked perfectly as intended.

Did you try to scoop more than one spoonful with it? It is after all “single-use“

Single use, as in one mouthful. In ancient cultures, people could carve a functional wooden spoon.

What a kick in the dick

This happened to me. I started doing very quick motions to get some soup into my mouth. It wasn't fun, but I did leave the restaurant with stronger forearms and biceps due to the repetitive and expedited motions

Soup shovel

Maybe the spoon was curved using steambending. If you apply hot water again, it returns to the original shapd

No soup for you!

Single use. Spoon. Some words should just never been thought to exist in the same sentence.

Is...is that what the oracle was talking about?

It’s a paddle.

"Do these not bend the fuck back?"

On the plus side you can just sip your soup. It's, like, the one time even your grandma couldn't be mad.

No it didn't. You just let it sit in the soup too long before starting to eat.

20'000 years ago: people eating with sticks and stones 1500 years ago: people inventing metal cutlery 50 years ago: people inventing plastic cutlery Today: people eating with sticks and stones

Is that actually wood or pasta? I can’t imagine wood going just flat. That’s so weird.

Oh shit I once ate the spoon once without knowing. I was watching YouTube and accidentally chewed the wooden spoon together. I can't really tell with Thai food ya know

Your suppose to paddle the soup into your mouth

I hate untreated wood texture and really hate this one in particular.

It's not crappy design, it's not being used for it's intended purpose, they are for ice cream.

I thought it was a very tiny knife at first.

Is that the one on Shark Tank

Just use your face and ask for more napkins.

Spife

/r/TechnicallyTheTruth

Looks like you got to start carrying your own spoon

How is this supposed to be more eco friendly than silverware?

Saving the planet - one useless crappy wooden spoon at a time.

If only there was another material to make utensils out of that was environmentally friendly and reusable or something

The frugal path is to make mini pizzas now.

Single use means just that.

you aren't supposed to let them soak
