The last time you picked up a “spork” — whether a plastic one for your fast-food meal or the titanium one you took on your camping trip — you might have had the fleeting thought that the clever spoon/fork feels almost futuristic, or at least from a not-so-distant past. Actually, it has been around for centuries.

Complete with a photo of the Snow Peak titanium spork, and an interview with the designer of Light My Fire's spork:

When you designed your spork, did you know the spork had been invented before?
No. I was not familiar with it at all.
