Sporks
There are many inventions that are completely useless. However probably one of the worst of the bunch has to be the spork.
While feeding my dog, I noticed the contents from can dog food was a mushy solid and fork would have not done justice to scooping out half a can, so I grabbed a spoon or at least I thought it was spoon. I realized I picked up a spork. I rose it up to my eye level and thought, “This has to be the stupidest invention ever.”
Someone in the grand stupidity of things thought, “I know people have a hard time switching from a fork to a spoon. Let's combine a spoon and fork, and that can save people 1.2 seconds between switching between the two.” This inventor has to be a C student.
Fork+Spoon=Spork=profit
And, when you think about it, a spork is jack of all trades and a master of none. Sporks are the Red Mages of kitchen utensils. I mean you can't hold down meat really well while you cut it, and it doesn't handle soup too well. What about ice cream or fried rice?
I guess it is for people that don't want to pay for spoons and forks.
To my total surprise, there is a website devoted the spork, check it out.

Someone invented a knork. I am not making that up.
I saw the dude on The Big Idea.
Whoa, now that's just a crazy invention. Does that mean you have to be careful how you eat with the fork portion of the Knork?
I think the knife part isn't sharp... it is just much narrower than a traditional fork tine so you can more easily cut things into bite-sized portions.
My question from the site is when was the last time you ate an apple with a fork?
Okay, that clears it up.
As far as eating apple slices or whole apples with a fork, I've never attempted that and I'm the type of person that would have tried if someone dared me.
Though I do eat shrimp fried rice with a spoon!
Did you see the scene in Wall-E, when he didn't know where to put the spork , and left it between the forks and the spoons.
No, I haven't watched it yet. I've been meaning to too. Perhaps next week and hopefully Kids Free
