This Spoon has been shaped by many thousand of uses so that the fingers underneath fall naturally into an easy grip (not actually true).
Using a spoon is a mark of intelligence. Prisoners escaped from Alcatraz by digging their way out with spoons and even used them as tiny paddles on their way across the Bay, possibly. This spoon will specifically not survive hacking through a wall and so is excellent for use in prisons.
Let’s wander our minds on a long lead through Neanderthals and the Scottish. And a Koala!
