This thread is made of sunshine and win.

SporfeWTF!

You should TOTALLY patent the idea! And then when you make uberbucks you can split it with all of us!

[kittyasauras]

they actually do make those. xD
They are in the camping sections. It's a fork and knife on one end and a spoon on the other. haha I have some because they are just too funny.

SPIFEPORKS! That's what we need. Yep. Spork on the front and knife on the back.

Okay.

First of all, rayon is not a plastic. From Wiki:

Rayon is a manufactured regenerated cellulose fiber. Because it is produced from naturally occurring polymers, it is neither a truly synthetic fiber nor a natural fiber; it is a semi-synthetic[1] or artificial[2] fiber.

Secondly, the sporks around here in Hippieland are made out of potato starch, so they are 100% biodegradable and I guess technically you could eat them:

You can’t beat the cleanup-free convenience of disposable tableware. But even the best recycled options create waste when thrown away. Our new partyware solves the problem by being 100% compostable! SpudWare is high-heat tolerant, biodegradable, compostable and attractive cutlery made from 80% potato or corn starch and 20% soy or other vegetable oils. It provides an excellent sustainable alternative to petroleum-based cutlery. USA.

And finally, I hate sporks.
Just my own personal opinion. But then, I'm the person who refuses to eat sorbet or cereal with anything other than vintage silver-plated teaspoons, so....

Just found a mini Weber like Zircon's on Ebay for $12, I no longer have grill envy, but ... a grill!

[Alopecia No Hime]

I hate to add to the nerdiness of this thread, but I work in an engineering facility that has developed a way to make bacteria produce biodegradable plastic by feeding them wastewater. I know little Weber grills and spifes are sexy, but bacterial-wastewater-plastic makes me swoon!

That is very cool!
