Spoons are a scam invented by Big Bowl to sell more bowls. We should be sticking our hands (nature’s bowl) in the communal cooking bowl like God intended.
What is this, twitter. Put it on an image.

Mini-bowls, they were initially called
Did you come to this instance to start a fight too?
Bro what 💀💀💀
I was there when they were invented, they were called mini-bowls. The marketing team didn’t like it, though, so we had to rewrite all the clay tablets with ‘spoons’. Which is a dumb name, for the record.
Why not just call bowls ‘maxi-spoon’ ?
Some say this is just a coverup story for the murder of the ladle inventor whose family in Kilkenny still claim rightful ownership of that patent, but today arguing with Big Spoon is just asking for it
That’s what they told you, huh? I’ll tell you the real reason. One time the marketing director was trying to steal some ornamental golden cutlery from the office, but he was caught red handed. “Hey! Where are you going with these mini bowls of yours” someone yelled and it instantly became a meme. That is, until he forced his departament to change the name to spoon and the joke stopped making sense.
Oh, word?
I don’t think this is difficult to understand at all. You want to have a tool to scoop liquid, hold it in your hand, and allow you to pour it into your mouth. So, you invent a cup or a bowl. Then, you want a tool that allows you to do this in mouth-sized bits. So, you invent a spoon. Or, if you’re really smart, a straw.
This really isn’t that hard.
Exactly, and it’s easier to build a wooden spoon than a wooden fork. It was invented much earlier
Was it really? I would have just thought a tree branch that split in 2 would be considered the first forks. Like the thing you would use to hold a hotdog over the fire.
In that case maybe the single chopstick was the first utensil…? I feel like a two-pronged stick would be ridiculed at first, much the way heliocentrism was. Imagine being the Copernicus of stick technology, lol
There is a spoon
The spoon was invented by the Reverend William Archibald Spooner
