Actually they are called splades, not sporks and yes they do have many uses.
They were invented in Australia, for more information see the link below.

Answer 2

Cool name and dual functionality. I think its more the cool name and appearance though. If you think about it sporks suck at most foods. For soup you won't get as much as a spoon, but you also don't have long enough prongs to stab something like a steak. But I mean think about it, its a spork, how much does that rock?

Answer 3

Sporks are the missing evolutionary link from plastic knives evolving to plastic forks.

First the knife gets stubby and round like the spoon. then the spork fits in, then the fork

AMAZING!!

Answer 4

Yippee, a cross between a spoon and a fork. I think it is just a way to go cheap!

Answer 5

how can some one NOT love a spoon/fork combo? they are just so..... handy! you can at the broth and the meaty bits in a stew or with chicken noodle soup! GO SPORKS!!!!!!
woooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

less utensils to wash, functional enough to do its job, one less cutlery in a confusingly crowded table setting. imagine feeding 200 guests in a party-- that's 200 less spoon or fork to set, use, wash, dry and put away.

wont they do something with all the plates and saucers?

Answer 7

A fork/spoon? What's not to like!

So when will they invest the knifork?

Answer 8

because they're more grown up than spoons and less messy than forks

Answer 9

pretty cool but they are plastic but now we need a spoon, fork and knife. (sporknif)

Answer 10

they aren't, they're a necessary evil
