Hmm I think it boils down like this: Firstly the knife and fork is a way better system than chop sticks.

However, due to tradition there are still large parts of Asia who still use chop sticks.

So, if you're go to Asia you could take the chopstick/spoon hybrid. But then you wouldn't half look like a dick.

If you really can't deal with chopsticks then you're better off asking for a knife and fork.

I'm with ourman. Forks and knives rule. Spoons are handy too. Chopsticks spill food in your lap.

Well, maybe it's only because I'm such a spazz with chopsticks. I'll always be the only un-hip person at the table to ask for a fork in an Asian restaurant.

Problem with this Froggettmee device, though, is that you're going to seriously slime your hand if you try to use it more than one way per meal. I'll just stick with a fork, thank you.

Too bad its made out of plastic (and sold out) I'd prefer to see a bamboo version, as it'd be more environmentally-friendly. Perhaps someone in the US can copy this great idea and make it locally. Hello? Are there any designers out there willing to create their take on this?

This device is blasphemy!

If you want a proper multi-tasking eating device, the Titanium Spork, from thinkgeek.com, is the only way to go.

And unlike other cheap immitators, the Titanium Spork works well with both food and broth!

Blasphemy, I tells ya!
