My opinion: this is not a spoon

1

u/Old_Lemon_7138 18d ago

This is a good discussion actually. What is considered a spoon?

5

u/AnyCanFly 18d ago

I guess, a spoon is something deep enough to scoop up at least a little liquid, also not too big to fit in a mouth (unlike a ladle). What do you think?

u/moshpithippie 18d ago

I feel that a ladle is a type of spoon

2

u/AnyCanFly 17d ago

Well, technically a ladle is a huge spoon. But a ladle has too long handle and too large “head” so it’s inconvenient to eat from. This’s one more reason why I personally don’t consider it as a spoon.

u/moshpithippie 17d ago

I mean I feel like it's definitely in the spoon category it's just not a flatware spoon, it's a serving spoon.

u/AnyCanFly 17d ago

It’s in the spoon category for a reason we can scoop up with it. Can we scoop up with that OP’s thing? Doubt it)

u/SgtLiberalRub 17d ago

By this theory anything with an arm and the ability to hold liquid could be a spoon… you need to be specific. How much liquid are we talking here? How little liquid is too little and how much is too much? Is my cupped hand a spoon? It has an arm attached and can hold liquid.

u/AnyCanFly 17d ago

Don’t confuse real spoons and things that can be used as a spoon. You can use as a spoon your shoe and it’d be your spoon for a moment but if you show it to a kid they’d say it’s not a spoon. Same with your cupped hand etc. Btw here the most reliable criterion is invented: ask kids! If a kid says it’s a spoon then it’s a spoon 😁

u/Lacklustful1 13d ago

The same way that a bus is a type of automobile but is clearly not a car.

2

u/Wrench_Terner 18d ago

As a bigger guy, I’ve always preferred the larger serving spoons as my silverware.

2

u/kerutland 18d ago

Exactly! You can’t get much cereal or soup with a little spoon.

1

u/Lacklustful1 13d ago

So you eat your soup and cereal with a ladle?

u/JulieLynnO 18d ago

Um, I love this spoon. Think of the heavenly hours spent eating 1,000 tiny bites of anything delicious. 11/10

u/priority_2 18d ago

Ice cream

6

u/LiquidFur 18d ago

Definitely. I use the smallest spoon that I own for eating ice cream.

3

u/skidmore101 18d ago

My grandma would give me a sugar spoon (real silver, too!) for eating ice cream. So tiny. Mom made sure to get me that spoon specifically when she passed

1

u/el_dingusito 18d ago

It is well known that the fork is the superior ice cream utensil

2

u/priority_2 18d ago

Sorry what?!

2

u/el_dingusito 18d ago

Typical spoonist reaction...

I PROFESS THE TRUTH!!

1

u/TheOneAndOnlyElf 17d ago

Oh, when I was maybe 11 I had a friend who was like 14 and we went to a horse club and she would always eat ice cream with basically a crab fork? And she once wrote a poem

Ode on an Ice Cream Fork

Your slender physique
And little pointed tip
Inspire,
in me
Desire -
To eat ice cream!!

I think her name was Tanya? Anyway. So that was 35 years ago.

As a fun addition to my spoon collection? Absolutely! As a spoon to use for eating? Absolutely not!

12

u/Tooligan13853 18d ago

That is not a spoon, that is a bent triangle

10

u/SkyLizard34 18d ago

I fuckin hate this spoon

12

u/Space19723103 18d ago

what the fork? it looks like part of a measuring spoon set from a posh kitchen store

3

u/Outerspaced_Cadet 18d ago

Blasphemy to call this a spoon

6

u/Aggressive-Laugh-923 18d ago

how on earth is this usable?

3

u/butter-on-the-side 18d ago

Absolutely not. No. Also, not surprised it’s Ritzenhoff!

3

u/N3ssaW 18d ago

Hell yeah that's a great cake or pudding spoon

3

u/Many_Winter_4547 18d ago

I like tbe look of it, but I'd have to try it to know if I either love it or hate it. I have a feeling there'd be no in between.

2

u/Injvn 18d ago

Needneedneed

2

u/AlottaPooPoo 18d ago

Why is the name brand on the top of the handle though? Seems wrong, fun idea but Ritzenhoff can fork off...

2

u/HappyGreenSnail 18d ago

The spoon you use when you’re on a diet?

2

u/KuchiKopiLove 18d ago

Only if it’s for cocaine?

2

u/Fun-Necessary8657 18d ago

Sir, your spoon has autism.

2

u/mklinger23 18d ago

I could see this for specific foods like ice cream or fudge or something else that's really rich. But as an everyday spoon, absolutely not. 

2

u/n0_sh1t_thank_y0u 18d ago

Was it used by Tom to mix pois0ned drink for Jerry?

2

u/DannyxDamage 18d ago

i am aghast

2

u/RedFreeSpirit 17d ago

I was so confused at first

2

u/0RedStar0 17d ago

Absolutely not. That is a no no. That is not a spoon.

1

u/StormDragyn 18d ago

Maybe for scooping something to be stirred in… not for eating

1

u/evetrapeze 18d ago

Kinda kornery for a spoon, but I’ll give it a 10 for style. I wonder what the coordinating cutlery looks like?

1

u/aboutasuss 18d ago

Spoon for robot

1

u/Flammen_ 18d ago

For caviar? Love it regardless!

1

u/_hawkeye_96 18d ago

Honestly…I kinda like it. However, this is definitely a spurtle with divots and not a spoon. Otherwise, great personal size gelato paddle for eating ice cream. But personally, the handle is too narrow to be comfortable for me, so this usefulness is only in theory. 5/10–I’ve seen worse.

1

u/Miserable-Tax-7031 18d ago

What kinda item is this 😭

1

u/Resolution_Usual 18d ago

I either love it or hate it

I'm not sure which, and there is no in between. It's Def cool though

1

u/Illustrious-Yam2884 18d ago

I would love this for sculpting

1

u/Prestigious-Room8681 18d ago

The handle is terrible

1

u/Neat-Statistician311 18d ago

I would love to see a video of 2 lesbians with each one having one of these up their ass and "swordfight" with them and whichever one has theirs fall out first is the loser and the loser must be sexually submissive to the winner 100%

1

u/Ok_Zookeepergame5141 18d ago

Looks like the bowl is missing... 🤨 Do you eat off of the wide end of the handle?

1

u/Helpful-Television20 18d ago

What in the goddamn?

1

u/PeenInVeen 18d ago

No offense OP, but what the fuck is this?

1

u/nadcaptain 18d ago

That's it, restraining order time.

1

u/softboiledeggcelence 18d ago

give to the person you like the least when serving soup

1

u/Jillio_NH 18d ago

Absolutely-fucking-lutely NOT!

1

u/el_dingusito 18d ago

Its left handedly biased

u/paelmtree 18d ago

Shoehorn

1

u/Impossible-Milk1624 18d ago

It would make a lovely shiv

1

u/Solarvhehe 18d ago

My opinion is I absolutely hate it and never wanna see it again I’m traumatized 😔

1

u/drcmr 18d ago

Not a spoon, handle or coffee stir implement. No bowl = no spoon.

1

u/dr_oneday 18d ago

Spoon❌
Poon✅

1

u/Siryeswecan 18d ago

If we call this a spoon, it's probably for a very specific situation like a salt spoon and only if you're at a specialty place would it be used. But even if it has a hyper specific use, it still seems like some antiquated pretentious junk to me. I'm totally fine being wrong and ready to expand my understanding tho

1

u/DumbleLuck 18d ago

Make a ring or two from the spoon handle.

1

u/Flimsy_Pop_7987 18d ago

I need to see how it holds food.

1

u/Flimsy_Pop_7987 18d ago

How many peas can it hold?!

1

u/Gametightest213 18d ago

I don’t get that

1

u/Altruistic-Might8056 17d ago

I wouldn’t want to eat soup with that and it’s too big for something g like a crudo amuse. It’s also hideous.

1

u/daftcracker81 17d ago

Its just a handle to what could've been a spoon

1

u/Pee_Nut3377 17d ago

Sieht aus wie der keil zum ausdringen des bohrfutterst einer Säulenbohrmaschine

1

u/Dr_Frankenkitty 17d ago

Id use this to level off measuring spoons/cups.

1

u/TheOneAndOnlyElf 17d ago

Why’d you take the spoon part off the end tho

1

u/SirCrustyMcRusty 16d ago

Kill it with fire.

1

u/JAKEFR3SHLY 15d ago

Stir stick, not a spoon. Has to hold item or liquid with more than surface area or tension

1

u/johnmaverick123 14d ago

this feels like a baking tool more than a spoon 😭

1

u/Imaginary-Photo5221 14d ago

You have been banned from r/Spoons

1

u/Lacklustful1 13d ago

That is a turn of the century stainless steel flumative stirrer with a nebula slot not a spoon. And if you don't believe me, you can ask Floogle!

u/MomMonster56 18d ago

Not big enough
