If I could only bring three things to a deserted island, they would be as follows:
- A laptop with an everlasting battery and wireless internet
- A refrigerator that replenishes itself of delicious food each night
- A spork
A spork? A spork?
You heard right. Allow me to explain…
Sporks are like the Michael Jordan’s of the utensil universe. They can do it all.
Eating soup? No problem… slurp from your spork.
Have delicious sushi rolls on your plate? Spork them up like nobodies lookin’!
Want to impress your hot date? Nothing says high class like a stylish spork.
Sporks are appropriate for just about every situation. And much like smiles, they never seem to go out of style.
But you don’t have to take my word for it… 60,000 lunch ladies can’t be wrong.
In conclusion:
- Sporks: 50% spoon. 50% fork. 100% Awesome.
!Haha I have so many inside jokes with a Spork, it is the utensil of the future!
Sporks rule. Anything that can be used for miso soup and rice at the same time, is in my book, an absolute winner.
I had never heard of a spork, you learn something new every day. I looked it up on internet and under wikipedia it says that sporks “are commonly used by fast food restaurants, prisons, and backpackers”. I guess now we have to add: and by people stranded alone in a desert island
OK, I know this shirt is probably for the non-spork-lovers among us — and really, WHO does not love sporks? — but I thought you might like it. (I used tinyurl because the real url was ridiculous. It goes to torsopants.com, not a porn site.)

Sporks, indeed.
Hi Bamboo,
Yes, sporks are pretty handy. They’re good for eating spaghetti too. Just stab it and twirl. Hehe.
What Marelisa said.
This is creepy. I just finished reading a ‘Books of Magic’ issue (vertigo comics). Something hideous and inhuman was done with a spork. I wouldn’t sully your comment thread with a detailed description.
Kevin: Sporks are definitely the utensil of the future, but they also have a special place in today’s modern society.
Bamboo: True that, brother.
Marelisa: Welcome to the glorious world of sporks. I hope Wikipedia updates that soon!
Naomi: That is a funny shirt. Whoever designed that is probably just jealous of all that sporks can truly do. Thanks for sharing it!
Barbara: I agree. They are perfect for spaghetti.
Vimoh: That just goes to show… something so powerful can be used for evil as well as good.
@ Vimoh: HAHA… Thanks for not “sullying” our comment section. (:
A spork is even better than a “laptop with an everlasting battery and wireless internet” or a “refrigerator that replenishes itself of delicious food each night” simply because a spork actually exists.
You can find one of those pretty much anytime you want, whereas the other two objects–we’ll have to keep looking for them.
@ Jesse: This is a valid point, except that you forgot to consider the good old trusty time machine. With it, the laptop that doesn’t run out of power, and the refrigerator that replenishes itself is near at hand. Of course, you may also claim the time machine does not exist. If it does, it has been a well kept secret.

Brent, that is simply awesome!
Yeah the fork is great.
