Your Pen Can Be Your Fork, Knife AND Spoon!

By Hank Green


There's nothing I hate more than getting stuck using disposable cutlery! OK, actually, I just thought of several dozen things that I hate more than that...alas.

But I do hate it! What am I supposed to do, walk around with a spork in my pocket all the time? I already keep a plastic bag and a water bottle constantly handy...a dining set would likely require a whole new coat!

But I do have pens...always. That's just the kind of person I am. So I could either use them like chopsticks, or invest in a Din-Ink set! The idea is pretty simple...just a bio-degradeable pen cap that happens to have a knife, fork or spoon on it. I don't know why they eschewed the ever-useful, surprisingly environmentally conscious spork. But, alas, they did.

They're just as safe, and considerably more durable, than disposable cutlery. No word on pricing or availability yet. But I can't wait to whip one of these suckers out to impres my ecogeek friends. Though, I will have to remember to leave them at home for flights...that knife looks very suspicious.
