Bring a home-made lunch with you usually requires a couple different utensils to get through the meal, but the snappable spork packs all the utensils you'll need in one ergonomic design. Starting off looking like an alien-like tool, the snappable spork is first a spoon; for the next course, simple snap the utensil in half for a convenient knife and fork.
The clever design is a fantastic idea for food chains, as the process of purchasing one-time utensils could be cut down significantly by only requiring an ordering of one multi-use utensil as opposed to three different ones. On a consumer level, the snappable spork is great for on-the-go individuals and those looking to make lunch time (and their daily routine as a whole) that much more efficient. So, watch out for when these bad boys show up at your fave take-away spot.
