What happens when chopsticks dates a spoon? Well, the kid ends up becoming a Froggetmee. Chopsticks are actually very easy to use once you get the hang of it, they are a eating utensil that has distinct advantages over the western spoon, fork and knife routine. They are easier to clean, easier to eat with (even rice) and far cheaper. The disadvantages of chopsticks is that unless you enjoy slurping your food, forget about soup or foods laden with sauce. The favorite of camping enthusiasts, the spork has been on the marketplace since the wheel was invented, I suspect that it’s the same with the froggetmee… the only difference is somebody finally decided to make a business out of them.

Features

The Froggetmee is made out of plastic, although it isn’t hard to imagine a day when they are made of wood and other materials. They measure 11 inches long and where awarded “good design 2006” by the Chicago Athenaeum (Museum of Architecture and Design). The only problem I can see with the Froggetmee is if you alternate between using the spoon section and the chopsticks section, you will end up with dirty and unhygienic hands indeed. I think I will stick to my western eating utensils for western food and eastern eating utensils for, well, eastern food!

The Bottom Line

The Froggetmee is a nice idea whose practicability is somewhat dubious.
