Amend "Sporks are also frequently used by backpackers and other outdoors enthusiasts as they are a lightweight alternative to carrying both a fork and a knife" to say "carrying both a fork and a spoon." can't seem to see how to edit this, but this quote is wrong: "I'm pretty sure the spork was introduced to a wider audience by KFC. I recall them being part of their standard service when I was a kid in the late 1970s, when some were still called Scott's Chicken Villa (which I believe was the original Canadian company that underwent a reverse takeover by KFC, although I'm not certain). The rest of the Yum lineup is much newer, Scott's goes back to the 60's at least." Taco Bell was founded by Glenn Bell in 1962, and he had opened his first taco stand in the 50s. A&W has been around since the 1920s, Pizza Hut since 1958, and Long John Silver's since 1969. For the record, KFC was started in 1939 Any comments on the spork wars? |

Merger proposal
[edit]Back in September 2021, user Lead holder tagged lusikkahaarukka as a merge candidate to this page, but didn't take the process any further by tagging the proposed merge target page (i.e. here) or initiating the discussion on this talk page. Since this half-initiated merge proposal keeps popping up in my article alerts, I'm finishing the proposal process despite personally opposing the merge for the following reason: lusikkahaarukka is a "folding spoon-fork combination
" consisting of a fork and spoon that are attached together from the handle by a rivet. It is not "a spoon-like shallow scoop with two to four fork-like tines
". The two items might serve a similar purpose, but are distinct in design. -Ljleppan (talk) 09:47, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

"Katy t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m"
[edit]Does "Katy t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m" "copypasta" have enough cultural relevance to be mentioned in "In popular culture" section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.114.224.0 (talk) 15:13, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
Alternate name
[edit]Sometimes, the utensil is also called a "foon". Could you add the alternate name to this article? 216.154.17.101 (talk) 17:31, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
