Spork

Sometimes, random thoughts pop into my head. Like, is there a long, detailed, wikipedia entry for "spork?"



Turns out, there is.

Apparently, sporks date back to medieval times. Who knew? I always figured they were invented by KFC.

It is believed that the modern spork, made of disposable plastic, was introduced by the fast-food chain KFC, then known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, for its popular coleslaw side dish, at some point in the early 1970s.


At least I was right about that part.
