I’ve gone on here before about the wonders of the
spork, but now I’ve discovered that the future of cutlery
is headed in an entirely new direction. Watch out spork lovers — there’s a new eating utensil gaining admiration and
praise around the world.
That’s right, our very own Gadling photo pool friend and reader, Newley
Purnell has developed a prototype for
chorks, an adaptation of the
chopstick that actually succeeds at getting those very smallest bits of food from plate to mouth with ease. When Newley
read that the Chinese astronauts (who
just completed their five day trip) would not be able to use chopsticks in space, he knew that things were
beginning to look up for his chorks. Although regular chopsticks may not be designed for orbit, Newley’s ingenious
invention sounds like the perfect futuristic eating stick.
