The "Spork" is a rounded fork with one little button at the top that converts it into a spoon. When the button is clicked, additional prongs come out between the fork prongs, filling in the empty spaces and converting the fork into a spoon. This is an excellent utensil for eating things such as "cup-a-soup",
where you often need to use a fork and spoon together for the broth and the noodles, or just to keep handy at work or while traveling.

There already is something called a spork, albeit a buttonless one; imagine a spoon that has short prongs carved into one side. You used to get them at KFC. Maybe call it a "foon" instead? [jutta, Nov 28 2000]

Taco Bell has sporks, sometimes. The thing to do with a spork when you're done is to press on the bowl with your thumbs and invert it, thus making it a 'foon'. |

Don't try this with the Taco Bell ones, though; they're a hard plastic and will shatter, shredding your fingertips. I speak from experience... |

there were occasional "sporkfights" when I was in school. When flexed sharply from both ends, the spork inevitably cracked in two places across the handle, launching a jagged plastic projectile. |

The spork is the single most iconic item I have ever heard or seen or read about. |
|
| |
Does this idea actually predate the common use of sporks or is there something about this that I am missing other than the novelty, yet unnecessary electronic function? |

I spent some time at xkcd #419. Very [notmarkflynn]. |

Are you sure it isn't a runcible spoon? My momma always told me that's what sporks really were. |
