I back-crossed a spork with a spoon and by tallastro2008-05-05 09:07:45

On both.

Not due to any FYOS problems. No, my reaction is entirely due to the inherent issues in the design of the first and the fluffiness of the second.

The BassPro implement is poorly thought out from a usability standpoint. The most basic rule of mealtime sanitation is "the part of the utensil that meets your hand should not meet the food", and although that is directly violated by finger foods in any event, it was and remains a useful stricture that was once more widely respected. Given that field gear is likely to be employed in locales that do not provide adequate personal washing capacity in any event, it makes far more sense to avoid such barrier-breaking mistools as this one. At least regular sporks keep the grip separate from the food surface...but they're still bloody near useless.

As for the second link...they appear to be a marketing company. I loathe gongs-and-calliopes flash interfaces, so I wasn't going to delve too deeply anyway, but this one seems infested with way too much bluesky thinking. I'd dearly love to plop such people down in a job in Lancaster County for a few years.
