PrintConjoined Utensils
There are only so many ways you can eat food. Ancient China gave us chopsticks (which, everyone knows, are also great for catching flies), and sometime before 1000 A.D. the Middle East gave us the fork, which was apparently met with resistance in 12th century Europe ("God in his wisdom has provided man with natural forks—his fingers. Therefore it is an insult to Him to substitute artificial metallic forks for them when eating.")
Since then there's been little innovation. And when you look at something like this contraption, you see why. Fun to look at as a novelty but impossible to eat with, I'm sure. $25 for six, from Charles & Marie. (See also: Chindogu)

Quite innovative. I think they would also be really cute as hair accesories, glued onto barrettes or ponytail holders. Or since Summer is almost here, why not sew some onto the fronts and back of your bikini at certain strategic points? Adorable.

They look like something a chef by day/ninja assassin by night would use: Utensil Shuriken.
