014: Chopstick


What is it? A chopstick.

Pros: Easy to learn. Can be used to eat noodles. Colourful design makes most of small surface area. Good poking tool. Easy to wash. Stores well in upright containers. Makes owner look sophisticated if placed in cutlery drawer. Has lots of gravity/pain potential if thrown.

Cons: Better when there's two of them. Hard to master. Despite evidence to contrary, very bad with rice unless sticky. Eating any meal that is not Oriental makes holder look pretentious. Can be mistaken for linguine. Design is overdone and not unique. English eyes take nothing from inscription's meaning. Fork and knife better.

Worthiness of pointing motion: 2/10. You've seen it all before. They're free.
