A mate of mine snagged a Ballad of Gay Tony coke spoon from someone on Reddit like a decade ago for like 40USD. They’re like 600+ now.

It's for serving, not eating

Unless you're in the midwest, where salads (nonlettuce) are eaten with dessert spoons

But there's already a serving spoon. Do we use both?

Too confusing, I'm gonna keep eating soup with my bare hands.

1

The spoon type matters, mostly due to size/shape/metal composition Tea and coffee spoons are a thing because they're made smaller to match the requisite cups, soup spoons have a deeper curve to hold more soup, serving and salad spoons are larger so they can be used to serve If you don't care about the difference though, they're virtually all the same

Actually, all of those are ikea spoons. You can tell by how weirdly shaped they are

This is why I use a fork with soup.

It may not be practical, but fuck the system and all that I suppose.

13

That's exactly what I do!! Honestly creepy how you know this. I'm going to close my curtains...

Honestly, I picked up a few of those on a lark, and they're great to have in the drawer. Anytime I'm trying reach down and get just a little bit out of a deep and mostly empty jar of salsa, honey, or whatever, that soda spoon is the perfect thing. Never used 'em to eat an ice cream float, but lovely for other purposes.

"An iced tea spoon, also called a soda spoon or a latte spoon, is a thin spoon with a long handle. It is used primarily in the United States for stirring sugar or other sweeteners into iced tea, which is traditionally served in a tall glass."

From Wikipedia. I guess it's just a long, thin stirring spoon

Well it's the best at making dripped absinthe, arguably it's terrible at doing any other spoon-like actions.

10

But why would you need anything else when you have absinthe? Also it's the prettiest by a mile.

I don't know what's weirder between soda spoon and salad spoons.

Soda spoon isn't that weird, think of like a float or parfait for which you'd need a really long handle potentially to get to the bottom of a glass. No idea wtf a salad spoon is though.

17

Salad spoon usually comes paired with a salad fork. It's basically half of a "salad tongs" utensil. Basically meant to pick up bunches of salad out of a salad bowl without crushing the lettuce.

12

The soda spoon looks basically like a bar spoon to me (for mixing cocktails). Same idea I guess.

I have some soda spoons, I never knew they had a name.

I have always loved soda spoons! I can't explain why. Plus those shovel like ice cream spoons.

I've been using them to mix chocolate sodas forever and had no idea it was actually a soda spoon until today!

2

I just know them as little spoon, spoon spoon, round spoon.

There's also the random big spoon I use for the dog's food that just appeared many years ago. And wooden spoon which makes me feel like chef when using stir through pasta sauce from the jar.

8

Say what you will, I will use the soda spoon for most purposes so that I feel like a giant eating with a tiny spoon.

8

They're fairly large and they serve regular salad, they're made to not crush delicate parts such as cherry tomatoes or delicate lettuce

Soda spoon eh? Always thought that was the tea spoon.

So what about the table spoon?

5

Soda spoon is kinda like the spoons they serve in milkshakes/blizzards, Mickey D's still use em

6

We use those 'soda spoons' as teaspoons in our house, it does the same job but has the extra utility of stirring a giant cup of milo/coffee/whatever, mixing dressings/sauces/marinades, or stirring cocktails.

i understand why people came up with most of these except for ice cream spoon and soda spoon

Soda spoon is probably from a time when you had to mix the sugar.

And have you never seen a person eat ice with a spoon?

How would you eat a banana split without a spoon?

you'd eat it with a normal fuckin spoon, not some special ice cream spoon lol

1

I'd eat it with the soda spoon. It's smaller so you got more ice cream

2

Ice cream spoon is closer to a tiny shovel (note the flat part)

This allows you to slice through the soft ice cream and eat it easily

Yes, a regular spoon also works, but these spoons all go back literal centuries so...

Forgot the curse spoon, it's all bent up with a candle underneath to liquify your drugs for intravenous use.

Someone make different types of knives make sure to include poop knife.
