Ramen Spork Makes Eating Instant Noodles So Much Easier

Ramen noodles are becoming such a big thing that a special spork was designed just for the consumption of the beloved instant noodle.

Eating ramen noodles can be difficult. If you use a fork you can easily twirl the noodles to eat, but you miss out on the broth that is the whole purpose of eating soup. At the same time, if you choose a spoon it's easier to sip the broth, but it's nearly impossible to get the noodles from the cup to your mouth.

The only solution is this newly designed spork.

The traditional spork, a spoon with short fork-like prongs at the tip, is still not ideal for Ramen noodles because the broth can slip right out through the prongs.

However, the new spork, called the Ramen Spoon and Fork, is a full spoon that cradles the broth and vegetables with no spillage with four fork prongs to twirl the noodles.

The new utensil was originally designed by Masami Takahashi to be used at Sugakiya, a popular chain noodle restaurant in Japan, according to Uncommon Goods.
