It looks like an american(i.e. plastic, mediocre, and worthless) version of Fijian fork, the ones they used to eat people with.

no, not really. no. uh-uh. liar.
It's Richard Dryfus playing some moron--right?

so, we actually bought one of these as a gag gift for friends. you cannot believe how crappy this product is. even as a joke, not worth the $.

To me, that guy in the animation looks exactly like a mad inventor from central casting.

Forkchop.

I saw one about 4 years ago at Chiasso. Made a good birthday present for someone.

God help me, it actually seems like a good idea. While I'm an experienced and deft chopstick user, many's the time I've wished for a "third hand," something to steady an unwieldy item poised between the other two sticks. Might be good for people with shaking hands, too -- a friend of mine has palsied hands and is constantly losing things from his spoon and fork.

the most unique eating utensil

<p>Ohhh ... that may be a little too much for me to handle. Could I have one that's just a little unique?

That's so wild and crazy. I was browsing around in this Asian home-decor shop off La Brea in LA last weekend and ran accross something that struck me as being equally unneccesary -- this chopstick/fork hybrid thing. They had some stupid cutesy marketingy name for it which now escapes me.

If this madness continues unchecked it will be the death of us all!
