What the fork?!



I recently discovered something truly horrifying. Prepare yourself. Are you sitting down?

Kentucky Fried Chicken (sorry, KFC) no longer provides sporks.

Now exactly how a KFC two piece wing and breast meal with biscuit and mashed potatoes made its way into our house isn't important. What is important is that it came with a fork, which had normally shaped tines and everything. When it came time to finish off the gravy, it didn't have enough of a bowl to do the job. (Never fear, there was a biscuit to soak it up, but still, it's the principle of the thing.) The whole point of going to KFC was the spork, the strange genetic, frankensteinian amalgamation of fork and spoon.

This probably happened 20 years ago and since I haven't eaten at KFC in about that long, I never noticed. Still, I'm shocked and dismayed.

One can just hear Stephen Colbert saying, "Spork, are you a spoon or a fork? We're at war, pick a side."
