I keep plastic sporks in my glove compartment.

They come in handy at Taco Bell, sitting in the parking lot dealing with crunchy tacos.




I didn't realize there was enough to evoke hatred about sporks - are you talking about the Taco Bell sporks or the more commercial type, ex. http://www.countycomm.com/spork.htm?

FWIW a spork is designed to be a compromise from the get-go, I accept that and sporks are okay with me. I haven't noticed that the spoon leaks, and while the fork tines are a little shorter than a fork they pick up noodles and chicken which is about all I ever eat with a spork. My peeve: I'd like a left-handed spork, with the cutting edge on the other side of the fork.
