What do you guys think about the Chork?

Apr 28, 2012 1:22 AM

Combination chop stick and fork. Use interchangebly, or break apart for classic chop stick action. Do you think these will catch on?

I think it's all fun and games until someone pokes their eye out with them.

Meh... it's a gimmick and probably won't catch on.

I also disagree with the chork web site's assertion that a fork is more precise than a pair of chopsticks. I can easily eat individual grains of rice with chopsticks; this is much harder to do with a fork.

I don't get it, if you can use chopsticks you don't need a fork. The whole idea seems pretty pointless.

@baqui63: I agree, I find chopsticks better than a fork for most foods.

I think that the spork wins all bets.

@miyoshinum5: "pointless". Pun intended?

@tsfisch: Ha, I wish I was actually that clever.

Okay I know that Wooters are very well-rounded, intellectual, and talented folks, but what about the average consumer in this country? I could see these being well-received in mall and amusement park food courts across the US.

@jsimsace: I just wish my spork (which I use daily) had the tines on the side and not on the front so I could get the last of my yogurt!

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
