We have two forks and two spoons that don't match the rest. We went on a weekend trip somewhere and forgot to bring utensils. Instead of getting a 30 pack of stuff and have a lot of wasted extras, we found individually priced metal utensils (like 50 cents each). But they are much thinner/flimsier. So now I actively avoid them, but also can't bear to throw them away.
Put them in a utensil wrap and keep it in the glovebox of your car! Then you don’t have to deal with them, and they’re handy in case of needing them again on a trip.
Legit excellent idea
