A spork is a hybrid form of
cutlery taking the form of a
spoon-like shallow scoop with the addition of the of a
fork (usually three or four). Spork-like utensils have been manufactured since at least the late
1800s;
patents for spork-like designs date back to at least 1874 and the word "spork" was registered as a
trademark both in the U.S. and the UK decades later. Sporks are offered in both re-usable and disposable form and are quite versatile. They are commonly used by
fast food restaurants,
prisons, school
cafeterias, and
backpackers.
