Hey guys, I'm back from the brink of extinction

in #food7 years ago

Haha.. I know that was a bit exaggerating, but bare with me, I wouldn't want to write about this either

But this... Trivial matter (obviously, like from the first time I post and not an actual original content..) are stuck in my head, so why don't I put this into a good 'ol quick reading material as a comeback post? I was like heyy.. That was brilliant, like starting out again with a lame post then get normal scheduling time to post again hoping get better at the content that are being served daily. Eeyyupp.. I was gonna do that on today's post (^▽^)

So here I am, after a long days of taking 'day off' I've decided to write about..


Spork

I know that wasn't the best entry word that I got, but really, we need to get down to business asap lol. So what is exactly a Spork? We know that these utensils do a great help, but us who usually don't bothering to look where and how this marvel start it up, are likely ignorant.. I mean I'm doing my job here, especially when you run a food blog, so I want to know, you should too. Not being a person that forcing their opinion to other individual despite other people doesn't want too, no. I just want to discuss this great thing, that is all (꒪⌓꒪)

So what is Spork? its an odd looking utensils, but it is more useful than meets the eye, so it has a liquid scooping ability like spoon does, then a food jabbing feature like fork does, Spork! but once the Spork were the longest culinary laughing stock , where when once one unit spork has tine of fork just to short and stubby to penetrate anything firmer than a peach, canned.. 

So, where was this malformed utensil came from? what was the reason behind this useless eating tool? like who was inventing it from the first place? well the article that I was coping has the answer.

Utilty Patent #843,953 by George Laramy, 1907

In its earliest days, its origin were confusing as its utensil itself, based on abandoned patents throughout the years. It was dated way back further than you think, like any history, it was blurry. in February 1874 where the spork appears to be invented by Samuel W. Francis, and issued a US Patent 147,119. Then by the 1907, where the George Laramy of New Hampshire, already patented a 'table utensil' you can see its getting messed up already from this point.

there wasn't many exact reason behind it included, but thing you need to know, you can't call it..

'Foon'


That was wayy.. weirder, so the original Spork term, was apparently referenced as far back as in 1909, the Century Dictionary supplement to be exact. But it wasn't until 1969, that the Van Brode Milling Co. In Massachusetts, first attempt to trademark the term, yes the term, or so it would seem..  According to a 1952 New York Times article, Hyde Ballard of Pennsylvania, had the mashup on the brain, and filled an application to register 'Spork'

So that was likely the most of the point that I can get.. So where are they now?

Well while times moving forward, of course it had received a different imagery, over the years, it becomes as what was we know today, to think it has twisted history and made to this day and finally known to its purposes, some people are relieved to know this utensil for its practical use, some are despise it and decide to use both spoon and fork.

I think that is for now, but as always, seek the original content where I found it and decide to re write it in here, and here's the original

😂 Haha, I read this with great amusement. I love the spork, and use my set all the time. Mine are of a much better design, having a slightly serrated edge on one side I guess they are all three utensils (knife fork and spoon) morphed into one. Made in the 70s, they are so practical.
