Depends on the situation,   If I'm eating takeaway on the go (like nachos or pasta) I'll use one.   

Problem isn't the design per se it's the material.   Companies make them as thin and weak as possible because they are single-use disposables...  ergo they sell for a fraction of a cent/are sold in bulk.  No sense in spending money on material that is just getting chucked after one use.

You can buy them made out of titanium. I'm not sure why.

At least one outfit sells a foon. It comes with chopsticks.

Do people actually use sporks?  I've never even seen one, and the first time I met the word was when I watched FLCL.  I note that the spell-checker in this browser doesn't acknowledge them either.

They are the only utensils we give the youth at our fine facility of not-so-higher learning.

And they come in a "permaware plastic" style for places like ours.

The first time anybody from my small town saw one of these was in high school in the early 70s when we went to a larger city for a conference. They served breakfast in the school cafeteria, and there they were, bowl and prongs together.

And without us ever having seen them before, we immediately argued over whether they were sporks or foons.

(We preferred foons, because that's just a funnier word.)

Didn't your small town have a franchise of Fried Unhealthy Chicken of Kentucky? They at least used to put sporks (damn you autocorrect, not "sparks"!) in their packages.

TAI: "There's that thing that brought Hanners. It's practically standing still now, hovering over that house with the two nude old people. The back motors of the ship are just holding it just, just enough to keep it from — it burst into flames! It's on fire, and it's crashing! It's crashing terrible. It's burning and bursting into flames and, and it's falling on the nudists' house and all the forum agrees that this is terrible, this is one of the worst caption contest entries in the history of the forum. It's a terrible entry, ladies and gentlemen, and it's crashing to the ground, not quite to the pun jar ... "
