I use them for pretty much everything because they’re marginally quicker to clean thoroughly than a fork
Honestly for a lot of foods they’re really not a bad choice. They’re excellent for eating flavored chips when you dont want powder on your fingers, also grabbing things from jars
Teaching my Cheetos loving children how to use chopsticks has saved all my gaming controllers.
I use them for eating popcorn
But then you can’t shovel handfuls of popcorn in your mouth where a quarter misses your mouth and is found in the couch cushions 2 days later.
I’ve gotta find someone with a 3D printer locally who can make me those fingy chopsticks for cheetos. I’m tired of cleaning my keyboard everytime I wanna snacc.
Check your public library, nowadays many often have a couple for the public to use
When I was in Toronto, yeppers. Alas I’m on an island out in the middle of nowhere. I’m gonna have to find a 3D print shop or make a friend lol
Chop sticks and Cheetos are a classic combo!
my god grabbing things from jars how has that never occurred to me

Found the backpacker.
Little spoons go first for me,. But yes, spoons are the ultimate utensil
Spork enters the chat.
i use what’s most convenient to grab… for instance i use a spoon, or even a fork, for making a pb&j far more often than a knife. there’s a better chance of those being out on the drying rack than a knife. if that means i’m eating ice cream with a fork, i’m eating ice cream with a fork - as long as it’s frozen enough.
Whatever falls into the sarlacc pit that is my garbage disposal goes first
Depends on what I made that week. If it’s a soup or stew, spoons are the first to go.

Yes, but
There are foods that just don’t hit the same if you don’t eat them with chopsticks.
Ever tried to eat sushi with a fork? It just feels wrong.
But if it’s a rice bowl, screw the chopsticks. Gimme a spoon.
I used to eat sushi with a fork and it is possible. But that’s really about the only food that’s easier to eat with chopsticks than fork and knife.
I firmly believe sushi should be eaten with hands.
Japanese sushi chefs agree. Sushi is a finger food.
I eat sushi with a fork at least once a week
After a few years it just became natural and I found myself grabbing chopsticks before anything else.
The sure way for me to appear to be an amateur chopstick user is to use them.
For frying certain things they’re very useful for flipping or grabbing.
I always eat my cheetos with chopsticks. That way I don’t get degenerate fingers.
Chopsticks are great for all kinds of foods. It helps you slow down if you are a fast eater allowing yourself to feel full quicker and eat less. Its helped me lose weight. Also helps when eating popcorn as you eat small bites and don’t get your hands dirty.
I like the Emma Thompson story about why she rolls her own cigarettes. The original idea was that if she had to roll her own cigarettes, she would slow down and smoke less. Ultimately, all that it accomplished was to teach her how to roll faster. So now she smoke just as much, but unfiltered.
This is my experience with chopsticks. At this point they don’t slow me down, and I’m good enough that I can pick individual sesame seeds off of a plate with ease.
I’m far too kack handed for chopsticks so I’ll stick with the fork thanks.
No, you fork with the fork. You stick with the sticks. Duh.
I use them because it’s not polite to shovel food directly into my open maw with my fingers
I’ll abandon the fork and spoon when they come up with something better.
