A mate of mine snagged a Ballad of Gay Tony coke spoon from someone on Reddit like a decade ago for like 40USD. They’re like 600+ now.

[–] VonCesaw@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

The spoon type matters, mostly due to size/shape/metal composition Tea and coffee spoons are a thing because they're made smaller to match the requisite cups, soup spoons have a deeper curve to hold more soup, serving and salad spoons are larger so they can be used to serve If you don't care about the difference though, they're virtually all the same

🤣 Dumbass rich people using a spoon to drink soda ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ🥄🥃

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honestly, I picked up a few of those on a lark, and they're great to have in the drawer. Anytime I'm trying reach down and get just a little bit out of a deep and mostly empty jar of salsa, honey, or whatever, that soda spoon is the perfect thing. Never used 'em to eat an ice cream float, but lovely for other purposes.

[–] MrFunnyMoustache@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I do the same... I have a few of these and had no idea they were called "soda spoon". I called them "long spoon" because I didn't know the name.

This is also the perfect thing for these bottles of sauce that are too deep for a regular tea spoon, and the mouth of the bottle is too narrow for a table spoon, this works really well.

Straws are for poors.

What in the hell is a soda spoon

[–] Halosheep@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"An iced tea spoon, also called a soda spoon or a latte spoon, is a thin spoon with a long handle. It is used primarily in the United States for stirring sugar or other sweeteners into iced tea, which is traditionally served in a tall glass."

From Wikipedia. I guess it's just a long, thin stirring spoon

[–] nick@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

I’ll be damned. TMYK

[–] EvolvedTurtle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Idk but it is kind of cute

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

Actually, all of those are ikea spoons. You can tell by how weirdly shaped they are

[–] Poxlox@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

[–] egoego@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s in the name: Serving spoon

[–] Broodjefissa@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That's also how you ask for it at your dealer: one spoon serving of H pls

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Whichever is biggest so as to hold a greater amount of heroin to melt.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Oh come on. Everybody knows that there is no spoon.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I just know them as little spoon, spoon spoon, round spoon.

There's also the random big spoon I use for the dog's food that just appeared many years ago. And wooden spoon which makes me feel like chef when using stir through pasta sauce from the jar.

[–] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 years ago

Say what you will, I will use the soda spoon for most purposes so that I feel like a giant eating with a tiny spoon.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have some soda spoons, I never knew they had a name.

[–] HeapOfDogs@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I have always loved soda spoons! I can't explain why. Plus those shovel like ice cream spoons.

[–] curiousPJ@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Soda spoon eh? Always thought that was the tea spoon.

So what about the table spoon?

[–] VonCesaw@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Soda spoon is kinda like the spoons they serve in milkshakes/blizzards, Mickey D's still use em

[–] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

We use those 'soda spoons' as teaspoons in our house, it does the same job but has the extra utility of stirring a giant cup of milo/coffee/whatever, mixing dressings/sauces/marinades, or stirring cocktails.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How does a salad spoon work? Is it for potato salad?

[–] VonCesaw@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

They're fairly large and they serve regular salad, they're made to not crush delicate parts such as cherry tomatoes or delicate lettuce

[–] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

The besf kind od spoon

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i understand why people came up with most of these except for ice cream spoon and soda spoon

[–] Black616Angel@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Soda spoon is probably from a time when you had to mix the sugar.

And have you never seen a person eat ice with a spoon?

How would you eat a banana split without a spoon?

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

you'd eat it with a normal fuckin spoon, not some special ice cream spoon lol

[–] Japhko@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

I'd eat it with the soda spoon. It's smaller so you got more ice cream

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Ice cream spoon is closer to a tiny shovel (note the flat part)

This allows you to slice through the soft ice cream and eat it easily

Yes, a regular spoon also works, but these spoons all go back literal centuries so...

Where is the 'whatever spoon' used for certain festive jellies?!?!

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

No grapefruit spoon?

[–] Crack0n7uesday@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Forgot the curse spoon, it's all bent up with a candle underneath to liquify your drugs for intravenous use.

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)
