People who can properly use chopsticks are magicians and should be shunned – who knows what other magicks they have at their command? For actual humans, it’s a difficult skill to master. In the manner of the spork, which combined the spoon and fork, the Chork works as both a fork and a pair of chopsticks.
You can keep trying to learn how to use the chopsticks before finally giving in to your hunger and switching for the fork so that you can actually get some food into your mouth. It’s a stroke of genius to offer them at Asian restaurants – expect to see the Chork becoming more common.
