Remember the sporks of your childhood cafeteria days? The spoon-fork combo utensil1 was just spoon-like enough to make spear your food way too hard, and just fork-like enough to give you a nice stab in the tongue.
 
还记得童年时期小餐厅里的叉勺吗?这种把勺子和叉子结合在一起的餐具状似勺子切不开坚硬的食物,状似叉子又恰好会戳到你的舌头。
 
 
Well folks, there's a new sheriff in town, and its name is "chork." This Frankenstein's monster of hybrid2 cutlery features a fork on one end and chopsticks on the other. It's a perfect solution for the many Americans who start their meal with chopsticks, get frustrated3 halfway4 through, and ditch them for a fork.
 
The chork is a three-way utensil. It can be used as a fork, a training pair of chopsticks, or, when broken in two, utilized5 as normal chopsticks. Chorks have been around for quite a while, but are enjoying some fresh attention after news broke this week that Panda Express may soon offer chorks in their restaurants.
 
Panda Express called chorks "the perfect mashup of American and Chinese cultures -- just like Panda Express." The restaurant group alluded6 to the possibility that chorks may be offered in stores in the future.
 
There's no word yet on when these bad boys might be available at a Panda Express near you. But if you feel the need for more chorks in your life, you can buy your ownset for $9.99. Not looking like a fool with your amateur chopstick skills? Priceless.
