Chopsticks + Spoon = Choon?

by Sarah J. Gim, Posted Jun 19th 2007 @ 9:19AM

Seems like these double duty utensils -- like the Asian fusion chopsticks and fork, Chork -- are all the rage. Now we have something that's not as obviously named, but just as doubly functional: the froggetmee, a combination spoon and pair of chopsticks. I think I'd rather call it a "choon."

Judging by the picture, I can't see how this, like the chork, could work as chopsticks, unless the "tines" are flexible enough to push together. Regardless, it's interesting, and probably makes eating a bowl of ramen more efficient, albeit a little messier. I can't imagine you wouldn't drip broth from the back end spoon when using the chocsticks side!
