Of course. Especially since the “spoon” is just a flat stick that will not keep the icecreamlikesubstance from falling off the side. Even more fun when the stuff melts around the edges while the center remains a frozen lump, so trying to drink the melted part results in a frozen lump of stuff smacking you in the face. Any attempt to use the “spoon” to mix the melty part with the frozen lump will result in splinters. It’s just a cheap torture device for small children who ask for ice cream.
Fortunately, ice cream is not something that Meh is likely to sell, unless it’s the freeze-dried kind. Wooden spoons, though? Yep, been here already. (Bamboo ones, anyway.) (Fortunately, the supplier didn’t convert the bamboo to “viscose” first. Unfortunately, they didn’t exactly do the most stunning job of shaping and finishing them either.)
Shudder I can’t put anything made of wood in my mouth. No popsicle sticks, ice cream scoops or even tongue depressors at the doctor.
Even thinking about it while typing this has given me goose bumps.
@rockblossom Well that, and having no interest in tobacco.
I have become quite adept at eating food with chopsticks without touching the wooden sticks to my mouth.
@macromeh I have sets of aluminum and steel chopsticks, which are useful for so many things - poking, stirring, grabbing tea bags - and are easier to wash.
@macromeh@rockblossom My brother has an aversion to metal utensils - he chooses to use plastic forks and spoons! He doesn’t mind wood or bamboo though.
@Kyeh@macromeh@rockblossom Some people are hypersensitive to the taste of metal, and really can’t tolerate normal tableware. You do what you have to do.
@macromeh same, I “felt” that picture and got the shudder . It’s my “nails on chalkboard” thing.
But my issue is mostly about the texture and the dragging, like across your lips or tongue. Wooden chopsticks are fine for me since it’s more just placing food in my mouth.
I also have a very visceral reaction to seeing videos of people falling/dragging on cement/pavement. Road rash is basically just a harsher version of dragging a popsicle stick between your lips afterall lol.

@rockblossom It builds character.

@macromeh At least it saved you from being a pipe smoker.

@macromeh @scilynt Naw, I’ve never lost flesh to a popsicle stick.
