The ultimate spork, made of titanium, is available from the Snow Peak outdoors equipment company for US $10.95. It weighs in at 0.6 ounce, is 1-5/8" x 6-1/2" in size, and has a hanging hole in the handle.

Although the spork's titanium composition probably precludes it from being transformed into a foon, which is easily one of the most enjoyable aspects of using a plastic spork, the titanium spork should serve its purpose as an eating implement very well.

Unlike the plastic spork, though, the titanium spork is extremely durable. It can be washed and reused, and could even become a family keepsake, passed down through the family, so that future generations will always be able to experience the joys of eating with the greatest implement invented by mankind.

A customer testimonial on Snow Peak's website, http://www.snowpeak.com, paints a picture of a perfect spork-equipped world, as described by a prophet known only as Chris:

"Just imagine it... everyone in the world owns a titanium spork. Then nobody would ever have to look for flimsy silverware again! They would always have their spork right there. Perhaps it could be worn around the neck, or pants; companies could make a special spork pocket. That would just be wonderful!"

These wild dreams, hopefully, will one day become reality.
