Regardless of the countless times I've been taught, I have never been able to master the art of the chopstick. I slip and stumble and end up making a mess.
At least with these innovations I might be able to have some fun while potentially ruining a meal. Chopsticks can even branch outside of the culinary circle with things like chopstick clothespins and chopstick canoes (7,382 chopsticks). At least I know if I never learn I’ll find some other way to use them.
