In restaurants I eat American style, though I occasionally switch back to the European style I used for that year I lived in France without realizing it. In Europe I definitely only use European style. In Asian restaurants that use chopsticks, I use chopsticks.
AND in Filipino restaurants or at home I often use a spoon in the right hand, fork in the left. Yes, this is the aforementioned shovel style. And it's the absolute best way to pick up rice, meat, and sauce all in one bite. If people haven't seen it before, it freaks them out.
I have one nephew who prefers to eat with his hands (the way his grandmother eats at home) and it's just fine by his parents as long as he doesn't do it at school where everyone assumes it's bad manners.
Nothing wrong with learning all styles, it helps you understand a culture. For instance, French people are freaked out by American style because you put your hand in your lap while you're eating, and it makes them wonder what you're doing with that hand! European style always keeps both hands on the table.

I'm British and I eat appropriately (also having strict parents who were insistent on this). I hold my folk in my left and hand and knife with the right hand, I do not 'shovel' food. Sometimes I go for dinner at friends houses and have to ask for a knife so I can eat my food. I often receive complements on how well I eat.

I have NO IDEA why, but I've always eaten European style, or rather, backwards American style. I'm a rightie who cuts with her right and eats with her left. BUT if there's nothing to cut, I generally eat rightie...

You could put cheap vodka in any package including but not limited to a Hanna Montana commemorative sippy cup or an old boot, and underage drinkers would still be interested.

@bisbee - I tried to talk my brother into getting a bigass pinata for his kid's birthday party (dual party as they are 2 and 5) but he balked and went for boring Spongebob.

Party pooper.

These aren't really that much different than airplane bottles which are widely available.

Says who?

Thanks, FCF :)

These are pretty interesting, but a bottle of whisk(e)y is much more appropriate.

Who cares if they are enticing to underage drinkers. It's not the fun packaging that enticed me to drink when I was a teenager, it was that getting drunk is fun. No one cares what package it comes in be it a can of natty ice or a bottle of Evan Williams at that age.

I eat American style and never really thought about it before, didn't realize it was such a thing. I will say I am very right handed and would most likely have a hard time getting the food neatly into my mouth with my left hand!

What a waste of packaging for such a small quantity of product - right into the landfill, or tossed onto the street. What's so hard about making up a bunch of shoots, bulk, with good ingredients, and serving those from a reusabel bottle, jug, etc... It's only a small time expense and would allow you to have a better tasting drink (you could use fresh juice, instead of some flavored/colored heat processed crap in a plastic/foil pack).

Just a thought...

"A bottle of whiskey may not be appropriate on a camping trip"

Absolutely correct. I much prefer a bottle of pinot noir grappa.
