Baby Puppy Designs cutlery, featured on Etsy, has made meal time a little punchier.
These forks, spoons and servers are adorned with various short phrases in all caps, sans serif font that are sure to bring a smile to the dinner table. Messages like 'cereal killer,' 'soup nazi,' and 'no soup for you,' are some of the pop culture referencing, tongue-in-cheek mantras hand-stamped onto different sized spoons. Other selections are a bit more cutesy and romantic, such as his and hers wedding forks and love-professing serving pieces that spread the love while spreading a condiment.
For the more sharp-witted word warrior, there is an also option to cook up one's own saying and have it stamped onto the utensil of choice.
