Brilliant for beginners!! I'm ashamed that I can't use chopsticks properly. I am not ashamed to try training chopsticks if it means I can eat my food before it gets cold!

I don't think it's absurd at all. Good for kids?

How easy is the fork to use after it has been snapped apart?

It looks great, but the name sounds too much like "choke".

I want these!!!

redundant. maybe good for beginners, but if you know how to use chopsticks, they completely replace the need for forks. the only other utensils you would need to compliment chopsticks are a spoon and *maybe* a knife (most chopstick food is already cut up). and neither would function well on the end of chopsticks.

You missed April Fool's by 11 days!

But seriously - uh, er -- how can one be serious about a chork? I'll stick to chopsticks and forks.

If you're good with chopsticks, you can even cut up chicken and fish with them. Just practice.

I had a set of these a few years ago: http://www.forkchops.com/products.html
Much cuter name, IMHO.

I'm not sure why you would want one totally absurd utensil when you can choose to use or switch between two perfectly fine utensils that already exist. If you suck at using chopsticks, it is a safe bet that there is a fork nearby so that when you get tired of practicing you can actually eat. And if you're good with chopsticks, this is obviously equally useless. I guess for the few people on the planet who think the spork is a legitimately useful piece of kitchen technology, this is probably right up their alley, but if this catches on and is something people actually buy, I am certain most of them will be available at the Goodwill in a year or less when people realize how redundant and silly it is.

I am with some others here about this maybe being fun for kids, though. But really, it is a terrible name. I would never want to put food in my mouth using something with an onomatopoeic name that imitates a choking sound. Bbbbad marketing.

instinctively, i would want to separate the chopsticks...

kind of silly, since then if you wanted to switch mid-meal, one end of your utensils would have food on it... ick.

Ridiculous

it could only be better if the fork end was a spork.

I guess "Chork" is better than "Fopsticks." :)-

Ridick

I can see this being offered in restaurants, especially with takeout meals. The flaw seems to be that once separated the fork function is gone, plus as someone mentioned, having food on one end if you wanted to switch functions. Novelty item and ultimately just another disposable thing to add to the pile of plastic trash.

Nuts! OK, I guess, for take out and other situations where you want to cover all your bases, but I prefer ordinary bamboo chopsticks (that are biodegradable or reusable for crafts), or regular stainless forks that can be washed.

Don't be ashamed to use a fork in an Asian restaurant, but do be ashamed to use these!

Please, just learn to use chopsticks properly.

For kids who haven't quite mastered chopsticks, there's a better way!

Take a standard pair of takeout chopsticks, separate them, and then wrap them together with a rubber band at the larger end. Then fold the paper wrapper in half repeatedly until you can't fold it anymore, and wedge it between the chopsticks up against the rubber band. Instant chopstick tongs! No silly extra utensils!
