Innovative New Tableware
Six “can’t-live-without-it” utensils
Pickle Skewers — Similar to corn skewers, they’re ideal for those uncomfortable with the “end-to-end” eating method.
Gimlit — A long, thin, pointy, prod-like implement. Safe for all ages.
Flike — Resembles a toothbrush, but the “bristles” are small, sharp, triangular tines. Spears cherry tomatoes, etc. with a satisfying Medieval thwack.
Peppercorn Fork — Really, you could just use a caper fork, but this is more refined.
Kiplers — Slender, personal-sized tongs. Just like chopsticks, but spring-hinged, and flat-tipped, and not useless.
Brunch spoon — Smaller than a tablespoon, larger than a soup spoon, with a dime-sized hole. Slow down, Slurpy McSlurpface!

(Bonus humor: One of the above is real! Can you guess which one?)
(No, I won’t tell you. Google ’em. Don’t be lazy.)
(Fine! It’s the chopsticks. Happy?)
