@syn well, there's usually at most 3 people in my house. so i don't need more. and when i'm alone, i have two whole backup spoons. in case i don't have the strength to wash them.
@syn My brother and I had a hated spoon. "The fateful spoon", we called it. If it was one of the cutleries assigned to us in our serving, we exchanged it to somebody else.
