Gear Gimp ponders questionable purchase: Disposable sporks

Veneerware_Sporks
“Hmmm…Veneerware disposable bamboo sporks, huh?” I was skeptical of these at first. And if you’ve already spent your REI dividend on a set of ultra-light, pure adamantium utensils, you may be tempted to turn your nose up at these sporks, too. I think we all can agree you should never put any kind of spork up your nose, it’s just not safe. But then I considered why these might not be a bad idea after all:

    Disposable = Fewer utensils to wash – Dish duty is a loathsome task on the trail. Titanium lasts forever, but forever means a lot of washings. Doing more dishes is what I’m trying to escape from!
    Multi-purpose –  The rounded handle could make a good pot scraper. And of course, dirty spoons would serve as nice tinder for the next fire. or for shoving up your neighbor’s nose, if you like.
    Biodegradable –  Even if not burned, the sporks biodegrade in 4-6 months, according to the manufacturer (not that I would litter the forest floor with them anyway, but still…)

So I’m gonna be the guinea pig, the Gear Gimp on this and try them out. Don’t expect a full review, but I’ll take one for the team and bring a batch on my next trip. Though maybe I’ll still find extra room for the space-age metal ones, just in case.
